Just cross fence it into 10 acre pastures, (and be sure each has water and shade) use one at a time and at the end of a year if you don’t use all of your 10 acre pastures, sell off the unused ones because you don’t need them.
That should give you a nifty little tax write-off.
Sarcasm intended. :roll:
Now please take the time to read some of the many posts on your two inquires.

Re:
First, cows are NOT for pleasure, horses are. That is why they are called “pleasure” horses. If you are serious about using cows for pleasure be sure your life and health insurance is paid up in full because you will surly need it!
Re:
That all depends on the type of pleasure you expect a cow to render.
As you are in Kansas I suggest you start with 100 acres per cow and work down from there.

The amount of pasture needed depends on your area. You might check with your county extension office or perhaps nearby cattle producers to get idea of the stocking rate in your area.
As for the breed, that's a matter of personal preference. I believe Corriente is a common one used for roping. I have no idea how they would fare in your area, though. Good luck.
ok when you say pleasure i asume you are thinking roping, cutting, peening and things like that. how many cavles are you looking for. if you are going to be roping them i would say you want them at least 350lbs and no more than 500. be more specific how many cows you want or how many acres you have avalible
