This is a plant ID I started. Feel free to add to it if you want.

Walk with your sheep, watch what they eat.
Exactly what I do -- and the perfect time to take pics of what they are eating. That's how I identified all the plants in the thread Sheep on the Wild Graze. While the phone identification is not 100% it gives you a great starting point for some online searching.

Glad to read they are all doing much better. We all learn lessons, sometimes the hard way... and we still lose animals after years of experience.
Don't worm them again unless you see signs of them "being wormy". Their gut system needs to build some resistance... some breeds do it better than others... but the worms will become too resistant and then nothing you use will kill them. Just watch and keep a check on them... if questionable, take a fecal sample to the vet to be analyzed. You will see much less worm activity once a cold spell, frost hits anyway.
