Depends how hard you work them, how much fodder they have availible and how much time to graze you allow them. This only works where there is plenty of open grassland   However, you will only be eating cheese, blood (just open a vein and drink, when you are done bind it up) and a bit of meat, Your character will most likely stink and be constipated if he's not used to it - the main thing such a diet would seem to lack, Vitamin C, is present in milk if its really fresh.    Of course you are in a swamp, which is not good horse country, or any domesticated animal except maybe water buffalo. I am afraid you will have to deal with the fact that pastoralism is inherently less efficent than agriculture.</blockquote>
