plants you can likely skip a day if they don’t need water and the system is not automated. Animals are a bit harder but that is very dependent on how they are kept. Today we don’t tend to graze them so they have to be watered and fed and mucked out. If they where in a large fenced area that included a water source then they should do fine if you take a day off which was the way it was done in farms longer ago. There is a ton of farmland today that would not be farmland in yesteryear.
