Joe’s Answer
Cattle farming comes in a number of varieties. There are beef cattle and dairy cattle. There are also multiple methods for raising them . Modern farming practices tend to have an ecological beneficial model that involves rotating cattle on land with a soil regeneration goal. This also can produce an organic and grass fed product, which tends to gather a higher price at market. So, when thinking about "where" you would raise cattle, the important considerations revolve around viable quantities of land. Acquiring enough land to raise cattle is the first hurdle. You will want that land to be clear, able to support pasture, and in a quantity that will support your herd.
I would recommend watching the documentary "Kiss the Ground" on Netflix

Vermont is a wonderful state for dairy farmers! There are alot of dairy farms owned by older people looking to retire.
