I bought 37.58 acres in 1992 and rented the land out to a guy for cattle after my heart attach another person took over the rental and he then sold his cows and I bought 2 from him and built my herd from that. Bought a nice bull that I had rented for $950 (a steal). I have since been working with a neighbor to build up my hay cutting equipment and now we both work together to cut an bale our own hay and some for others to make a few bucks to keep the equipment going.
One thing with only 50 acres unless you want to plant that illegal stuff i would go for Truck Farming (veggies) and sell locally at farmers markets. you just don't have anywhere near enough land for hay we o over 100 acres of hay each year and it barley feeds our cows but out here you get only one cutting per season.
