Sheep will graze for an average of seven hours per day, mostly in the hours around dawn and in the late afternoon, near sunset. The amount of pasture or range land that it takes to feed a sheep depends upon the quality of the land (soil), the amount and distribution of rainfall, and the management of the pasture. In dry climates, an acre of pasture or rangeland cannot feed as many sheep as an acre of pasture in a moist climate.
