[QUOTE="Australian Cattleman, post: 134947, member: 285"] Hi there I live in the New England region in the northern part of NSW. We run about a cow to three acres on our place. We have 1,000 acres of good high country at 1,000 metres. We breed Brahman,South Devon,South Brahvon and Hereford cattle we also have some Simbrahs,Charolais and Gelbvieh. I've been to SA but only around Mount Gambier. There is beautiful red soil country around there and pretty expensive I'd say. Our country is now 2 to 3,000 dollars an acre. So the only people that make much money are those that all ready own their land. My wife and I both have off farm jobs to pay some of the bills mainly ones that are brought about by drought induced feeding bills. If we had regular cattle prices and good seasons there wouldn't be a problem. Hardly any one would need to have to work off farm. There are still a lot of Herefords in SA as well there are South Devons there as well plus a few Brahmans. A British breed or a Euro might be the way to go say maybe Simmental. SA has some top Simmie cattle. Best of luck when you come back to Australia. Colin [/QUOTE]
