we have 2fenced acres and currently have 6mini goats, 2 sheep & 20 or so chickens.
The property is a mixture of brush/pasture/woods. Although we don't really plan to add to our flocks & herds soon, we have considered raising a bottle calf for beef. Would having a cow in addition to the goats/sheep too much for 2acres?
we have another 2.5acres we could use, but it's not fenced. I know we could use portable electric fence to use the rest of the property, but on just 2acres, how many critters could we keep on 2acres w/out it getting run down?
Thanks!
