[QUOTE="Cross-7, post: 1293387, member: 24538"] I've looked at the BLM and USF ranches. I didn't feel it was a save investment. I felt like they could pull my permit at any time. One thing I didn't factor in when I moved was the climate and people I'm from the west and when you get east of I-35 its really densely populated, lots of city people. There are lots of small tracks of land and not many big places, but compared to buying in the west, is lots cheaper to buy in per cow. It'd be tough to put a place together to run that many cows in one place in the east without several places scattered around. West Texas it's 20-25 acres to a cow on an average year and lots of times its dry and it takes double that. Land prices are crazy high based on production. It's hard to buy anything for less than a 1000 an acres or say 20000 per cow, but the hunters come in and buy it all the time. I spent nearly a year east of Tulsa close to Arkansas and Missouri state lines Land prices were right based on the carrying capacity I didn't factor the heat and humidity, the ticks and chiggers, meth heads Also need to factor in your input cost such as lime, fertilezer, brush hogging, weed spraying, and/or growing hay and etc Nw Oklahoma is wide open and very few people big places. It can still be bought for 750-800 an acre and carry a cow on around 15 acres or so and not much hay, just grass and cake. Having enough water is the biggest problem, weak underground water and ponds going dry. Lots of rough country and more cowboy type ranches But it's cold and the wind blows ALL the time and you haven't felt cold till you've experienced 10 degrees and a 30 mph north wind I always liked the flint hills or Osage in Oklahoma but I couldn't buy in there. That ain't much help, but that's all I know Good luck on your search [/QUOTE]
