[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7549772, member: 8735"] Why bother with shearing, dagging, flystrike, hoof-trimming and difficult lambing? Get some Easycares / Exlanas and you'll be saved from all that, get lots of N into your ground, have decent meat in the freezer and, for what it's worth, hate sheep far less that would otherwise be the case. (y) As for the land, divide the six acres in to two - or three...? - and get as few ewes as you think you can get away with. I'd start with less than 20, and go from there to see what the land can carry. Sage advice above in re silage, asking for trouble, if you can have hay instead go for it. [/QUOTE]
