This is not a state issue but a county regulation. You can find out what is permitable by visiting your county court house. Look for the county code that pertains to horses. Or you can try online. At the very least there will be contact info where you can find the right person to answer all your questions.
As far as stocking rate is concerned, which is a little different from the above paragraph, you need to check with your local agricultural extension office to see how many horses you can stock per acre (or how many acres is needed per horse) for your farm or acreage.
This is highly dependent on location, pasture health and forage quantity, the size and weight of the cow, climate, soil health and vegetation. Each area/location has a different stocking rate over the other, and often a rule of thumb of "at least 2 acres" may not be sufficient, especially in those areas where you can rotationaly graze cattle (having grazing pressure of 50 animals per 2 acres for every 12 hours, for instance), or in an area where you can only have 1 cow calf pair for every 25 acres.
South Carolina has a total area of 20,492,864 acres.
You can graze probably around 5 to 10 acres per cow or more around that area because of less vegetation and scrub brush in that state.
I've always heard that the rule of thumb is: One cow per acre or One horse per 3 acres. The difference is that a horse pulls up the grass and a cow cuts the grass. Also - It can depend on where the property is... south Texas is more like 2 acres per cow, farther north can be 2 per acre.
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 yearA 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 specifiedPrecipitation for the particular area was never identifiedA question of whether that cow is being grazed on alfalfa or if it's being fed all year round needs to be answeredWhat 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.
It depends on your soil, rainfall and type of grass. The recommendation for Oklahoma is a maximum of 12 acres per cow with native grass. If you plant grass or buy hay you can run more but you have to factor in the price for fertilizer and hay.
Uh, stomachs have NO COWS!
They need to eat 2 square yards.
It depends where you live. Some places only require 100 acres for 100 cows, others require 1000 acres for 100 cows.

It depends on what state and area you live in. Heavy grass and warm winters could support 1 cow per acre. Most areas require
The most profitable type of livestock farming on 10 acres in Ohio is cow or chicken. This is because they produce products as well as meat that can be sold.
