If your heart is set on sheep so be it but to me 150 acres of decent ground and 700 acres of rough hill shouts low input sucklers to me. Run them over the low ground in summer and hill in winter. Simple.
on the sheep, i don't see the point in hanging a financial noose around your neck with...
Interesting your twice daily being 8:00 and 14:00. Why 14:00 as opposed to later say 16:00?
