Just so you know, oats are rocket fuel for horses, and I suppose to other animals, as well. I have a former racehorse, and I would never feed him oats, he’s lively enough. That’s one of the reasons that working horses get oats, they need the energy. Small animals get all hyper, and I dare say lambs would bounce around like they swallowed a bunch of springs
Thanks for the info Basqueian I always thought oats were a treat for horses but not for cows or those with 4 stomachs. I used to give my horse a handful of oats or two.

Because oats are NOT to be consumed by little lambs.
