About PastureWise: Who We Are and How We Work
What PastureWise is, how we research small-acreage livestock guides, and how the site makes money without selling recommendations.
PastureWise exists because most answers about small-acreage livestock guides come back as “it depends.” This site answers with numbers, tables, and the reasoning shown, so you can decide once and move on.
What PastureWise is
PastureWise is an independent editorial site for hobby farmers and homesteaders on 1 to 20 acres. PastureWise is an independent guide to small-acreage livestock: mini cows, goats, sheep, alpacas, and pigs, with real acreage math, costs, and setup guides.
Our editorial rules
Specific beats safe. Every buying question gets a number, a range, or a table, never a shrug.
Trade-offs are named. No product is right for everyone; every recommendation says who it is NOT for.
Independence. Recommendations are chosen before affiliate status is checked. Plenty of our picks earn us nothing.
How the site makes money
Reader support: some links are affiliate links that pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. The full policy is in the affiliate disclosure.
Corrections and requests
We would rather be corrected than confidently wrong. If something here does not match your experience, tell us and we will check it.
Frequently asked questions

Is PastureWise affiliated with any manufacturer or retailer?
No. PastureWise is independent. Where products differ, we describe the differences and name the trade-offs rather than picking sponsors.
How does PastureWise make money?
Some product links earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you, disclosed wherever it applies. Commissions never decide a recommendation.
Can I submit a correction?
Please do. Corrections and topic requests genuinely shape our publishing queue.
