A single cow needs 1 to 2 acres for grazing on a per month basis. You are capable of keeping 2 cows on one half acre but you would have to feed them hay or feed for most of the year. You would also have to regularly dispose of their waste. It wouldn't be very cost effective to raise two beef cows on one half acre, because you will be paying a lot of money to buy a lot of hay to feed those cows for, maybe, 360 days of the year (with only 5 days spent on that 1/2 acre pasture). If you want to raise a beef cow for you to butcher and eat, one should be plenty. But still one half acre would not be enough room for grazing. Unless you are in a rural area there may be a law against you having any large animals on such a small piece of land.

∙ 15y agoIn my area, it is legal to own 2 horses on 5 acres, so i assume its legal to own 1 cowon 2 1/2 acres.

∙ 13y agoThis depends on where you live and what type of land you are putting them on. For pasturing, if you live in an area where there is frequent rainfall and the soil is of good-quality, enough to grow forage that has good density, then yes, easily. However, if you live in an area where it is more arid and soil quality is poor, then you will have to find more land to raise those two animals on. If you are putting them in a dry-lot area where you are feeding them all the time, then this is more than enough.

Which are used more for beef cows bulls or steer?
Typically the race in arms is between steers and cows, so to speak. However steers outnumber cows by (guesstimate here) 4:1 in the use for beef. Heifers are also used for beef, but less so than steers are. Cows are still commonly used but more used for ground beef/hamburger and sausage than actual prime, choice, or select quality steaks and roasts like steers are most commonly used for. Bulls are outnumbered greatly here in North America because 90% of bulls upon entering the market are steered. However bulls are also used, like cows, for groundbeef/hamburger and sausages. So, the fast food chains, for your information, use ground beef from cull cows and bulls, and the high-end restaurants and diners use the best beef that are taken from steers or heifers.
