HOW MANY EWES CAN YOU KEEP?
This page calculates the number of breeding ewes that can be kept on a specific area of land. In addition to the ewes, all young animals bred by these ewes as well as the rams can also be kept together with the ewes on the same land. The number of ewes are expressed per area of land as well as per LSU.
