Depends if op is going to hopper feed lambs or just feed grass? Should carry 7/8 acre if grass growing well. Up it further if hopper feeding. Summer drought would drop that down.

Petition: Temporary Ban on agricultural use of sewage cake
In order to protect our land, we’re seeking a temporary ban of the agricultural use of sewage cake until better testing and treatment of waste can be proven. We call on all farmers after this harvest to refuse to accept any more until things change.
Some research suggests that the contamination of land is far more serious than just heavy metal build ups. There is an increasing amount of micro plastics and forever chemicals appearing in sewage cake. We think testing for these when it leaves the processing plants isn’t adequate, and that processing needs to adapt to be able to remove these contaminants.
