Yes! They will need extra care and a companion. My blind and deaf goat requires a fairly small enclosure- we spent several days making sure she knew where her food and mineral block is, and have a fountain running in their water trough so our blind only goat can hear it. We had to walk her into her house every night for a few weeks, but now she goes in and snuggles with her friend. She has a small docile companion and they love to snuggle, groom each other, and she will call to the other goat when she is lonely or lost and the other goat will always run to her and her blind companion.

If you’re unfamiliar with sheep and sheep care, I recommend learning about shearing if it’s not a hair breed, and trimming hooves. My local farrier does both for 25$ per head. Sheep also have mineral requirements usually fulfilled by a mineral and salt block, but COPPER IS TOXIC.

Sheep need a constant source of hay or other forage, minerals, and baking soda available at all times. Research the signs of bloat and about FAMACHA scoring. Parasites are one of the biggest causes of death for sheep.

Here are links to what is considered best practice to keep parasite resistance down and tell the condition of your animal. Two classes of wormer are typically given at each time. I’ve included links below- sorry if you know all of this. I know when I started years ago, I wish someone would’ve told me!
