This is one question that is impossible to answer because of many reasons such as:
- A cow cannot live on one type of forage for an entire year
- A dairy cow will need to be treated or given a preventative for bloat from a diet of nothing but alfalfa, if that is what the purpose of the question is.
- Location was never specified
- Precipitation for the particular area was never identified
- A question of whether that cow is being grazed on alfalfa or if it's being fed all year round needs to be answered
- What is the weight of this cow? What breed?
- If the cow is being fed, how many times during a growing year is that to-be-specified acreage of alfalfa should be cut? Once? Twice? Thrice?
- If the cow is not being fed a diet of strictly alfalfa as was posed in the second bullet, then what else is this cow being fed?
As such, depending on your location and, as mentioned before, how many cuts of alfalfa are taken off if the cow is being fed and not grazed, acreage can range from 2 acres to 20 acres. If grazed, it would be significantly more than that.

How many cows will 25 acres feed?
There are a lot of variables to consider here. Location, climate, vegetation, soil type/quality, forage biomass, and forage quality, whether you are using the land for grazing only or for hay and grazing that means raising your cattle for 365 days a year on only 25 acres are important factors that will determine how many cows you can feed on 25 acres. Some areas, like in the Southwest of the USA, you may be lucky to be able to feed 2 to 3 cows on 25 acres. Further north, like in the Northeast, you may be able to feed 15 to 25 cows on 25 acres. However, as mentioned above, this depends on whether you're just using these acres for grazing only, or if you are keeping your animals all year round and need it for hay production as well if you do not wish to buy hay.
