Here in Colorado, tumbleweeds are primarily Russian thistle. My sheep
don't particularly like Russian thistle while it is still growing,
except maybe when it first sprouts and is still tender. As
tumbleweeds, it is stickery and not something they would eat. I'm
surprised your sheep like them. Maybe you could hire them out:
Eastern Colorado was overrun with tumbleweeds last week, making
national news. See

No one knows what to do with the tumbleweeds. Sounds like your sheep
would solve the problem!

I have a question for the list. My new sheep love tumbleweeds. Is
that ok for them to eat?
