That all depends on where you live. You will need to visit your local county extension office to see what the average stocking rate is for your area relative to pasture health and length of grazing. For some areas, you can have 1 cow per acre, but for other areas you may only have enough grass for one cow per 40 acres. Hopefully your area has much more moisture than that so you can put more cows on in that size of pasture. Just remember: stocking rate is based on number of animal units (1 x 1000 lb cow with or without a calf consuming 25 lbs of dry matter per day) per month.

How many acres per horse in Montana?
You will need more acres per horse in the southern part of Alberta than the north. Average is around 4 acres per horse, and up to 1.5 acre per horse in the northern parts. Though that's on excellent quality pasture: stocking rates may be a bit less on less-quality pasture. Not to mention that horses need room to run, unlike cattle, so you will need to add on a couple extra acres in addition to the amount that they will graze.
