The question then is... can a person survive on the meat from say 3 or
4 sheep per year plus some vegetables. My guess is... yes, but only just.

In Denmark there would also be fish and shellfish  and game (there are many
red deer),
and waterfowl  (migratory birds - ducks, geese).  And the rainworms and
frogs  ;-)
In older times some  poor people lived primarily of the fish they caught ,
plus the vegetables
they grew themselves (mainly potatoes , onions , cabbage and  kale)

Roughly half of the farmed land in Denmark is used for barley, which is fed
to pigs
-along with imported fodder (pig population 11 millions - twice the number
of people!)

Vegetables :  200 square meters produces a lot of vegetables - I think
enough for
one person - especially if you grow white potatoes.

You can survive on  "some vegetables"  and no meat at all !  - although I
wouldnt like to do so.
