Suckers on a small acreage

[BAC]

Only looking at ideas currently, this is purely going to be a hobby. Obviously want to make some profit on it but if we break even then we would be happy.

how many cattle could you farm on 12 acres? Can make 7 paddocks split over them. Would plan to make our own silage if it was a good season.

don’t want to hear that you will never do it blah blah blah

realistically what could be Farmed?

any comments from people with their own experience on small acres would be appreciated

6 cows.
30 sheep.
50,000 hens

just be flexible, if a bad season, buy the forage, or reduce number, cow/calf acre ?
