Title: Relocating to Texas Post by: curdogs3006 on December 11, 2013, 05:05:21 pm There is a chance that we are gonna relocate in texas.
Just wondering what is the best country out there to start a cow/calf operation. East- west -north-south Texas??? Land price vs cattle market today. Any help would be hightly appreciated. Land Title: Re: Relocating to Texas Post by: Nathan83 on December 11, 2013, 09:10:58 pm Depends on what your use to, east texas stays green most of the year and is either black dirt ,red sand lands about 35-5500 an acre the more west you go the the sandy and rocky it get and drier and lands cheaper

Take 10 cows from say abeline, and turn them out in Huntsville they won't do very well. Take 10 head from Huntsville and turn them out in Abeline then they'll do really well. You wouldn't think so by lookin at the country but cattle tend to do better in central, west tx.

Might be out west grows a higher protein grass but not as much but I'm not say I'm right just a guess from what you say don't know nothin bout land and grass Title: Re: Relocating to Texas Post by: justincorbell on December 12, 2013, 06:42:34 am I dont know the "best" area per say but I will tell you that I can't go a mile in any direction from my house without seein cattle. Im in china, just west of beaumont, south east Tx. There are quite a few big cattle operations around the area.
Title: Re: Relocating to Texas Post by: Kid7 on December 12, 2013, 10:54:39 am There's big cattle operations everywhere. North, south, east and west. Everything is always greener east rather than west. But not necessarily better conditions. Like hunting, theres different approaches. Come check it all out! Go to the local feed stores, cafes and talk to the old men. They'll help you more than anything.
