Please be more specific. What type/kind of cattle are we talking about here? Are you referring to cows, bulls, steers, or heifers? And where are they being raised: pasture, or drylot? And what about your location? This question cannot be answered if you do not provide such information!
This question is impossible to answer since there are no other references to climate, location, type of cows, condition of pastures, how they're raised, how they're pastured, soil, type of vegetation, and topography that could otherwise directly determine the closest estimation to stocking rate that you are asking!
Stocking rate is determined by the number of animal units per month that can be grazed on a pasture, no matter the size. As for the raising part, that all depends on the size of the cattle, since that has an effect on the space requirements per animal. Since you are asking "how many cows can you raise or pasture per acre?" I'll ask you these in return:
Most of the above questions should be answered before you find out how many cattle you can graze per acre. Some areas have enough forage and have a mild climate that allows a stocking rate of 2 cows/acre/month. Other areas where it is more drier and desert-like a person can only stock 0.25 cows/acre/month. Since we have no other way of knowing what other conditions you live in, we can only assume. And 99% of the time our assumptions may very well be wrong.

Actually it's not a per-acre basis, but rather per square foot. Per-acre is for pasture and range, not CAFOs or intensive feeding operations or even handling facilities. And of course how many cattle per square foot (or rather, how many feet squared per animal) depends on the size of the animals themselves, and whether they're housed on an ordinary dirt lot or paved lot.
The space requirements are as follows:
Average, on a per monthly basis, for most areas is one 1000 lb cow (=1 Animal Unit [AU]) per acre. However, this changes with regard to forage quantity and cow size. The less forage you have, the more acres are needed per cow. And, the bigger the cow you have, the more acres you need for that cow so that she can get her necessary forage intake without also ruining pastures.
No one answer, as there is no one ranch. It may be a half dozen, or several thousand. Depends on the size of the ranch, availability of forage and water, etc.

Experts agree that by leaving the rainforests intact and harvesting it's many nuts, fruits, oil-producing plants, and medicinal plants, the rainforest has more economic value than if they were cut down to make grazing land for cattle or for timber. The latest statistics show that rainforest land converted to cattle operations yields the land owner $60 per acre and if timber is harvested, the land is worth $400 per acre. However, if these renewable and sustainable resources are harvested, the land will yield the land owner $2,400 per acre.
Open land, no fences, and they could have large herds of cattle.
One acre of land in California is about the same as one acre of land on the moon.
It's known as contract grazing. This is a method where you make an agreement (ideally on paper) with one or more producers to graze their cattle on your land for an agreed payment based on a per acre, per head, or a combination of these two basis.
One acre of land contains 43,560 square feet.
Land per acre really depends on the location. Land on the water is much more expensive per acre than land in the city.
I can't display images or diagrams. However, an acre of land is roughly the size of a football field excluding the end zones. It's approximately 43,560 square feet or about 208 feet by 208 feet in size.
Land per acre really depends on the location. Land on the water is much more expensive per acre than land in the city.
The cheapest land with no timber or structures in Mississippi is roughly $800 to $1200 an acre. Land with timber is closer to $1500 to $2500 an acre.
Zoning regulations concerning density allowed often make reference to the number of residential dwelling units that can be built on each acre of land (an acre of land is 43, 560 square feet of land). The residential zoning density or units allowed per acres will usually vary be the type of residential development being proposed (e,g., single family detached homes, town homes, or condominiums).
The cost of an acre of land in Jacksonville Florida varies significantly. An acre of land in the city will be more than land in a rural setting.
Actually, it is so profitable and in demand, that you can lease your land for windmill companies, one windmill for every quarter acre, and still use the land for things, like cattle raising.
