I think we have two problems one is how much money cattlemen are going to lose when they are on the wrong end of the correction of this cattle market because it wil happen. Second is the inflated cost of production and land that keeps many younger generations from the oppurtunity to ranch for a...

ok thanks for the clarifying. Next question if you buy a black/red carrier in the us and have red offspring can they be registered as american red angus.

I have noticed that several canadian red angus breeders have black cows that carry a red gene. Are these cows registered as red angus or can their red progeny be registered with the red angus association if they are born red and not black?

I am looking to find a couple of heifers or cows to add to our cow herd. We have a few registered cows that go back to the beiber herd. One cow has raised 4 champion or reserve red angus steer in Houston. What are some of your suggestions on places to go and look. We are looking to transition...

Oh I am certainly not planning on that but if my job plays out it would be nice to find a nice area to look for another one.

gowyo I agree with that but I like a lot of people don't have the luxury of free and clear land anywhere. That's why I asked what the best area is.

I agree with your vet chambero I have been through that country a lot over the years and knew their were better places than the south plains which is turning into the sahara before our eyes. The other problem out here is we are running out of irrigation water. That dosen't sound like a positive...

I am currently living in west texas and sick of the drought and the wind. I always liked the eastern Ok,KS,NE and missouri. area. what are some of the best...

Was wondering if any of you guys run cows under center pivots. (summer grasses and winter annuals) I have a well and could put @70 acres under irrigation just wondering if it is profitable. I live on the south plains of texas and can probably grow giant bermuda and wheat/triticale in the winter...

Here is a topic I thought could start a good discussion. What part of the country do you think is the best area for cattle producers. Some items that might be beneficial to know. Land prices or price per animal unit, rainfall, growing season, feed prices, markets either clubby, commercial or...
