Size of the animal and age (which correlates with size) matters here. But I'll do my best. (g = gauge, not grams)

Beef cow: 14 g or 16 g needle, possibly 18 g (1" to 1.5")

Dairy cow: 16 or 18 g needle (1" to 1.5")

Pig: (I think) 14 g 1.5" needle (pigs have thick tough hide like cattle do)

Chickens: 25 g 3/4" to 1/2" needle (the smaller the better)

You're better off talking to a vet of what size needles are best for each animal.
