Different livestock are best suited to certain types of terrain.
A small garden is not going to be suitable for any large grazing animals. Assuming you have a fair size piece of land available, you should inspect it to see what animals will be best suited to it.
A quick guide to some animals to land types:
Sheep should not be kept on constantly boggy marshy ground or they will develop foot problems.
Horses should not be kept on flinty stony soil, or steep sided hills.
Goats will eat almost anything, and you need to be sure that there is nothing that will harm them on the land.
Pigs are very adaptable, you should fence off a suitable area for them live in.
Poultry will live on almost any type of land, it is a good idea to plan their range.
