Sheep require better fencing and grass management, sheep don't thrive well on long grass whereas cattle utiise it alright.
We've eighty breeding ewes on ten acres here, it's very intensive, over 200 sheep on the ten acres at the moment.
We've a lifetime of sheep farming behind us,....... semiretired now though
