Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
There's no way one cow can eat 4 acres worth of 3ft tall weeds. Plus I will not pay someone else to butcher/process, so cows are way too big.

You ain't seen my neighbors' cows--I saw 'em eating pine needles and holly leaves right off the trees last week. Poor things--they be hungry.

Sheep graze close to the ground, but from what I've read cattle will graze towards the top...so you will be getting rid of the 3' weeds. You can always buy a weaned calf or two and then let them eat it all up and then sell them in the spring so you don't have to deal with butchering.
