Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
Just a WAG on my part. I have no idea, plenty of ground here one steer would starve on 3 years worth of feed 10 acres could grow. Irrigated with fertilizer could probably fatten 10-15 steers.

One thing is for certain though, if easy, low maintenance is the goal, you want to under stock rather than overstock. Well fed critters seldom bother fences, but let the grass get a little short and they will be pushing at every hole in the fence.
