    You don't need any housing (well, I didn't anyway), just a pen in the corner of the field.

    Flock number will get you away but I'm near sure you need more than 2 acres and own the land or have a rental agreement for 5+ years other than that u just need a pen in the field till handle the sheep and must be fairly well wired. Herd number u need a crush and as u say I think a house aswell nothing fancy just some were till keep a sick beast.
