COWS WEIGH?

How Much Do

Cows, cattle, livestock, whichever name you choose to call them, are big animals! Owning a herd of cows can be hard work.

COWS WEIGH

Full-grown cows can range in weight from around 1102 pounds (500kgs) to 2645 pounds (1200kgs) for large cows and around 800 pounds (360kgs) for mini cows.

HOW MUCH LAND DO I NEED?

A primary land measure is two acres per animal for grazing. The size of your herd could be restricted by the land available. 

CAN I KEEP MY CATTLE ON MY HOMESTEAD?

You may only be allowed to keep small livestock like chickens in your area, in which case you will have to re-think your plans for raising cows to provide your meat and dairy.

MINI COWS

Mini cows are perfect for the homesteader! They rarely grow to a height of 48 inches or weigh more than 800 pounds (362kgs).
