    have about 2.5 acres of old REPS habitat cleared off, probably a bit wet for the cows, how many sheep would it carry

    Maybe 7 or 8?

    Not worth the hassle.

    Just make sure to properly fence the perimeter first or they'll continuously escape on you. My sheep even sneak out under gate on their belly .
    For the number of sheep your talking about, maybe buy a handful of store lambs and leave them there to fatten up for xmas time. that would give you a taste as to whether or not you like sheep.
