How many cattle will 5 acres handle reasonably (and I'm not talking feed lot)?
Here, 5 acres might handle 3 or 4 cattle, and that might be pushing it;
especially in summer.

We have one dude with 75 head of Texas Longhorns. His neighbors “love it”.
The county passed an ordinance limiting him to 20 I think. The old ordinance
limited him to 4. But they didn’t enforce it.
That was a bit too low in my opinion.
He has hinted that it will be an armed confrontation if they come for his
cattle.
But most have 2-3 horses if they have any animals at all.
The dirt here is crap so there are very few truck garden types of things.
But yeah, they all have this idea of being self sufficient on their
ranchette.

lots are "high density". And they claim to know what the local residents
"want". I have lived here for 20 years and they have lived here for 2
years
but they know what I want...

Worse are the people who move to the country then try to 'improve'
things because they know how to do it better, having lived in the city
their whole life.
