Hobby Ranching can be a very fulfilling experience. Some elderly people who in their younger days ranched for a living will hobby farm since a large herd is too much to keep up with. You do not need a huge farm/ranch to raise them though if space is insufficient your cows will become unhealthy, you may violate local by-laws, and even face animal cruelty charges. However, any facility that is suited to horses is more than sufficient for Cattle.
