We had them as pets years ago and now my brother has some for his children. they are great for keeping the grass down but sometimes eat anyand everything in site

He has an electric fence around the paddock which helps. He has the type of sheep that you don't need to shear, their fleece comes off by its self. They look weird when it happens. You will need at least two so they have company.

If you have foxes or dogs that roam it would be better to have them locked up at night.
