There should be no more than:

10 lambs in 1 acre

7 ewes in 1 acre

5 rams in 1 acre

4 ewes and 8 lambs in 1 acre

But that's on the average pasture, if you have lush green grass that grows quick and well then mabye more but if not maybe less. Sheep eat at least 5kg a day.

I wouldn't really put any sheep with horses for two reasons. Horses are known to trample sheep and breaking their legs or kill them. And Sheep like to eat the grass by taking grass, roots and all... leaving very little grass for the horse. Now a cow I wouldn't really worry about unless the horse and cow don't get along. I hope the Info I have given you helped you.

It depends on the amount of rainfall you have and what type of pasture you are growing and whether you are supplementary feeding and whether you are wishing to breed your sheep.

If you had 500mm of rain per year on average you could run 10 wethers
