This really depends on where you live. There are many different stocking rates per acre of land no matter where you live, so location is very important here in order to obtain a full answer to this question. Without location, I cannot answer this for you. It also depends on the pasture quality and whether you are even running the cattle on pasture or not. Since the assumption is that you are asking about pasture, then even that is quite variable, depending on not only location and pasture conditions (as mentioned), but also climate, vegetation, topography, soil type and management considerations (range pasture versus intensive grazing).

In terms of continuous grazing, in areas like Arizona you can run 8 head (cow-calf pairs) on a section (640 acres) in State Federal lands for a month; In Alberta (the "northern" area around Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock), you can run around 200 to 300 head (on ideal pasture conditions) on a whole section of land. If you were intensive grazing cattle on a section of land in a province like Alberta (in the predefined location), you could run upwards of at least 1000 head in a once-a-day rotational MIG system.
