- 51-100 Total acres

Desired locations
I am looking for acreage where I would be able to live off the land, have a small cattle herd and be able to grow hay.
Plan
At my current farming status I bottle raise about 10-20 steers per year and then I grow 4 out to provide food for all my family and I also have a dairy goat herd I use to make any dairy products we would need. I am a manager at the family farm greenhouse where I primarily work on the production of seedling vegetables and flowers. I am looking to get land so that I would be able to expand my cattle farming and grow hay for the livestock.
