The amount of cows, or calves would depend a lot on the part of the country you are in. In Central KS you couldn't keep 2 cows and calves on 3 acres, and it doesn't sound like you have the whole 3 acres. If you get plenty of rain you might be able to keep more, but not many, and then you would probably need to supplement them with feed.
However, it is still a good idea to do, along with a good job, to enjoy the country life. Nothing at all wrong with that. Start the first year with a couple of bred cows that will have calves and see how that year goes on the grass. The next year go accordingly. Rainfall is a huge factor on that much/little land.
I like the idea, just not to make any kind of a living on. Good luck with whatever you do. Bob
