Will you expand in the future?
Hobby or business?

Over here in Louisiana it's a cow, calf per acre. I suppose more would be better . That's if proper land management is practiced.

Over here in California if its dry ground w/ decent feed we'll go 1 pair for every 10 acres. If it's irrigated ground w/ decent pasture we'll go 1 pair per acre.
