Hi,
Thats a great idea, I would say.
Generally, many years go away busy earning lots of money during the early years of our career. After a certain period, we often wonder if its time to get closer to ones hometown, do what we want to do, and wish life is slower. This is a good option for people who were homesick all these years, and wish to get their dreams fulfilled.
Of course you need to have made enough money to spend on livestock, managing them, maintenance, and feeding them.
Finding out ways to get some money out of this is, like selling the milk products, or the eggs, will add as a source of income. So its not that you are only spending money here, but you are gaining too...
Great Idea!
Keep Going!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luiz’s Answer

Hi Bryn K.
Some things are important in livestock management.
When I was advisor of a college management course I remember that a veterinary student wrote a business plan about this subject.
The student wanted return back her city in the interior of the state of Rio de Janeiro, called Rio Bonito.
Her main interest was in livestock management and the concentration was in rotated grazing. She related the following:
...The aim of the grazing system is to provide food constantly, year round, for the animals, increasing the forage yield per unit area, in order to produce more in a smaller area.
Also, she wrote about soil degradation which must also be reduced, and the system must seek to conserve soil fertility.
Nowadays, I live in a rural area in Brazil, and what I understood is that, besides the grazing systems, people need to look for warns about climate. Here, where I live, if it not rains regularly, whatever you do it is difficult increase productivity, either for cattle or for corn or soy.
Good Luck!
