Where are you located? Do you have short winter-Southern Illinois, Missouri? Texas? Long winter like Minnesota? What is your water situation? what is the pasture ground- hilly, flat, some brush and trees or open grass. Pasture implies ground was grazed- by what? Fences? Livestock shelter- large barn that has space for cattle? Small low shed that might fit a dozen sheep? Do you have hay and/or grain storage?
I know of a small 20 acre farm in Wisconsin that carries 50 to 90 sheep that are sheared and wool sold to spinners, about 1/2 the lambs for meat. Has a old dairy barn with large hay storage, 2 large, 3 small fenced areas for rotating graze. Pasture is hilly with trees and brush- basicly not tillable. Hay and grain purchased locally. Tractor is Oliver 88(?) that hauls hay and manure spreader, a bit of garden plowing. RN
