That all depends on your location and how much land you are willing to allocate for pasture and for cash crops. That aside, a couple of quarter sections (or around 160 acres) may be sufficient for a 100-head dairy operation. However, as location will dictate, you may need more land or you may need less.

Are cattle farming and dairy farming same?
Not really. Cattle farming is more of a general term encompassing both beef and dairy. Dairy farming is telling us something more specific, such as the fact that cows are being raised for the purpose of getting milk from them to be sold to retailers that distribute them to human families. Though dairy farming does involve raising and breeding cattle and can be termed "cattle farming," the proper term for raising dairy animals for the purpose of milk production is "dairy farming."

What is cattle farming called?
If they are dairy cows, then its called dairy farming. If they are for beef, then its called "beef farming" or, with extensive operations, "ranching," especially in the USA and Canada.

What are the different types of farming?
There are basically two, with two variations. The major two types are dairy farming and raising beef cattle. Dairy cattle are primarily used to produce milk, while beef cattle are raised to be eaten. Dairy cattle and beef cattle are usually different breeds, although dairy cattle are sold to be eaten when they can no longer produce a copious amount of milk. The two variations are usually considered hobbies: raising dairy or beef cattle in order to show them at fairs, exhibitions, etc., and training steers to be used as beasts of burden (oxen). In most cases, even these animals will end up on a dinner plate.
