many variables here,But first what kind of grass?you could hold@ two cows year round on six acres of REALLY good grass,BUT best bet for you,(in my opinion)and the way most folks get started,buy two "Old" cows 10+ or even older that have been bred back.let them fatten on good grass,have a calf and sell as a pair.Many reasons for doing this,,First is they need very little care.Second they wont have calving problems in most cases.Third they will take care of calves.And fourth they will generally stay in.(any cow will walk through the fence if they want to)Do not try to hold them over winter,you"ll likely get in a bind on feed,if you cant feed them every day,or at least check them during winter.Another thing is water,if you cant break ice on your pond,they will try to walk out on ice and break through.Unless you have one lay down and die on you,you can make a little money doing this..you could make even more though,like your dad says,by renting you place out to someone with horses!!!
