if your not there ditch the animals or hire someone, I'm guessing you could find someone to do chores while you are away for less then the cost of a bedroom set. does your wife work?

Trust me, I have pushed that issue. She does pretty good honestly. Gets on the tractor, tends to the animals, runs the garden, etc.

Not really leasable. I have enough pasture for about 10 cattle the rest is hardwood bottoms, fruit and pecan trees.
