How many sheep can my land hold?

This would very much depend on the quality of your land. If your land is low lying, good quality productive pasture you may find more sheep will thrive. If you are high up, on less favourable land then the numbers would be lower. It will always be better to start off with fewer sheep, which can be increased if needed, but it is not easy to decrease.

If you are Conservation Grazing, advice should be sought regarding stocking levels according to the aims of the grazing.
