Ok I've got a brilliant idea! I found a blueprint for the above ground barn and it has 4 -- 13 x 12 stalls (all of which can open into a barn yard) , a tack and feed room, and 10 ft roof extension on both sides to provide shade for barn yards. I was thinking if I start with a breeding pair (will 1 be enough to make him happy?) they can rotate through two sides and I can rotate the sheep on the other side!

Does this sound like a good idea and how much room should I allocate for barn yard? Would 1/4 acre per yard be sufficient for 2 pigs and piglets when they are born? Or will I still need another pasture for them? I found a movable shelter if I need to use another field But I'm really feeling the large barnyard.

Opinions -- PLEASE !!!! :D

Thank you
