yeah, i see the complexity of the issue there crystal

this is why the goat wins as an animal because it will eat anything so you can probably scavenge the weeds to make into hay and they'll deal

the sheep copes with the cold (assuming it's wooly) but what's it gonna eat in the snow anyway?

hay has a shelf life so i think the best strategy is to have a target for each month of stashed hay and it should cover you for your intended head count

This is way over simplified. Even hair sheep do just fine in the winter. They also don't need water if you're not feeding them hay AND will dig through the snow to get grass AND they also eat forbes. Every goat farmer I've seen still creep feeds hay in the winter. Add in parasite resistant breeds and sheep win.

Also, try keeping a sheep in on a single strand on polybraid, you can't.
