Do Icelandic sheep need mineral supplements?
Icelandic sheep should have free-choice minerals available all the time. The mineral mix you choose must be formulated for sheep. Specifically, the trace copper required for sheep is different than for other livestock. Depending on where you live, sheep need supplemental selenium added to their diet. The soil of the eastern USA is low in selenium, therefore, the grass and hay produced in the east is also low in selenium. Make sure your sheep minerals contain selenium.
