How many acres in a small ranch in Texas?
The size of a ranch anywhere is dependent on what is being raised on that ranch. Cattle ranches are larger than say a place where chickens are raised. USDA has statistics on the average size of agricultural operations. Aa ranch needs space and water to be profitable, and I would bet that most small ranches are NOT profitable. That said, I think it would take more than 2000 acres to become profitable with cattle. In considering rates, the soils, climate, and water features would dictate carrying capacity. Carrying capacity in basic terminology is number of head of livestock (by species) that can be properly maintained without diminishing the health of the herd or the health of the land. That's my short answer. It is much more complicated than this, and hopefully you can see that the answer to your question is based on many variables. There are many ranches in Texas that are greater thn 50,000 acres, some as large as 250,000 acres, and a handful larger than that. A common sized ranch would be around 500 acres.
