Just a ballpark would do.

I would think on the order of 50 LMB, a couple hundred YP, and up to a couple of hundred HBG. I would not stock over 50 Cats in a half acre and personally would limit it to 25, but a cat-crazy PM could go higher if they were aggressively removed as they reached 1.5 lbs +. If stocked at the same time as the others, at least 10 pounds of FHM.

It is a slightly unusual stocking combo; others may have different and quite valid thoughts on the numbers.
