As a sheep farmer I was intrigued by your query and felt I should reply - while it might seem like an ideal solution for the grass - sheep are not quite as maintanence free as you might think...they can suffer from foot problems, various sorts of internal parasites and in hot weather fly-strike. However I don't want to put you off -with some further information you could deal with all these issues...lambs would be an easier option than older sheep but you would need to be prepared to part with them in the autumn as keeping them long-term would add extra considerations such as housing, shearing, tagging, flock no, etc.
Hope thats been helpful feel free to pm if you need more info. :)
