There is almost nowhere on Earth that you could hope to raise cattle on 0.5 acres per cow long-term.
For instance, the Texas Land Association gives guidance of 50-75 acres per cow for natural wooded pastures. If you develop a "managed pasture" (ie, you're driving tractors over it to spray fertilizer, have irrigation, etc) you could get that down to 2-6 acres per cow.
