You had better have 2 acres of fertile grass for each horse or cow grazed. A weaned calf or foal will consume 1/3 of it’s weight in grass each day. Less than 2 acres and you will have to supplement their graze with hay or grain. An expensive proposition.

That is for very fertile ground.

Most grazing land is not as good as that!

5 acres seems doable, eh ?
