A question about goats and cattle. I pretty much have the chickens under control and now its time to get into other animals. We are inheriting at least 3 more acres to give us a total of 3 1/2 total. We will have roughly 1/2 acres dedicated to the house,buildings, front yard, back yard,etc. We also have about 100x100 area that we will use for gardening. The rest will be for pasture, roughly at least 2 1/2 or more. We want to get at least 2 goats,3 max to help control hedge and other stuff. We also would like to from time to time raise a couple of steers for meat production. I am pretty sure its enough for goats but 3 goats max and then add 2 steers will this be to little of land? This is the maximum of land we can get and we are by a creek, have a house on the other side and a tree nursery behind us that I am pretty sure will not sale any of their the land.
