    Hi folks,

    I'm looking for a bit of advice re getting 2/3 sheep. I have a large back garden and just want to keep a few sheep to graze it down.

    What sort of price would I be looking at for 2/3 sheep? I have a herd number that I can register them under as my brother is a dairy farmer.

    Someone had told me about €100 per sheep.

    You can't register sheep under a herd number, you need a flock number. €100 a sheep is probably about right.

    What do I need to get a flock number?

    A pen so you can catch them in it.
    If there is a sheep farmer around ya you could rear his pets for him(or keep a few dry ewes), and then you could give them back to him when the grass stop growing
