Cracking advice from everyone earlier. Although the websites geared towards commercial producers say up to 10 ewes plus lambs per acre, this relates to top-quality, productive grassland. Get the land topped, as recommended, but find yourself to a handful of sheep to start with (maybe half a dozen lambs) and just enjoy getting to know them and how to manage them. Best of luck and feel free to PM with questions.
