I believe that if you choose a family of animal tamers but don't spend any initial EP, then your family will probably start with land and lifestock, but they will not be owned by your character. You may (if you remain in good graces and are the favored child) eventual inherit the possession of your parents' land and animals, but you will not begin with them.
You probably will have a job to start with and can earn a living as a animal tamer, but neither the animals nor the land will be yours.
