Sheep eating ash trees

Hey my sheep have eaten all the bark on about 10 ash trees over the past month. Would they have a mineral deficiency or why is it? Thanks

Possibly cobalt deficiency, we had cattle at the same thing earlier in the year doing the same thing. Moving this to the sheep forum now so you may get better advice there

I mineral dose regularly as I farm in a low cobalt area. I may go out and dose again.
