This is a challenging one and most of the research on this comes from Australia where they refer to this as a Dry Sheep Equivalent or DSE.  This is how many sheep can have have per hectare on your property.  In measuring the energy requirements of livestock, we use a 50 kg wether as the standard. Other areas use a 45 kg wether. A 50 kg wether maintained at constant weight has a dry sheep equivalent (DSE) rating of 1. There are lots of variables to consider - your soil and pasture, your fertilising program, do you have any other livestock or free loading wildlife and what is the weather doing, as well as what breed of sheep you are running - so many things to consider!
