It depends on the pasture and the sheep. In my area, on rotating pastures, you can put 50 head on 1/3 acre (about what a square of electronet covers), on 6-8" tall grass and they'll have it cropped down in a day, day and a half in spring. In high summer it might be done in 12 hours or less. For a half dozen lambs that you're growing you can pen them or tether them in a small area and see how they do. Rocky country takes more land as does swampy country and wooded. You're going to have to observe and see what happens.

The right way to do it is to move them around. Lowers your parasite level, improves the pasture, just better in general, but that goes for all livestock.
