Mountainair is suited to all kinds and classes of livestock. Cattle, sheep, and more exotic animals thrive in the Mountainair area with utilization of a good grazing rotation program and some supplemental feeding. Continuous year round grazing will deteriorate pastures which would take years to replenish. A general rule of thumb is one animal per 40 acres of pasture. This ratio should be adjusted based on conditions of the seasons.
