[QUOTE="Shetlandsheep, post: 120539, member: 1217"] The fences point is a good one, our 40 acres currently only has 50 ewes and lambs due to lack of fencing, there was none to speak of so we are gradually doing it. Have fenced about 10 acres so far including a corral and some with 7 foot mesh for lambing and a field shelter for lambing. The rest of the fields are just cropped for hay until we can fence them. Once fenced I reckon 150 -200 easy and we are pretty exposed rough grazing, but these are small tough Shetlands and big tough Herdwicks, might be lower end for more commercial types. [/QUOTE]
