[QUOTE="NWMoAngus, post: 1157629, member: 22025"] We are a few miles northeast of St. Joe. About half way between I-29 and I-35, where you most likely drove through on your way to or from Wiscy. We are not in the fescue belt. That is farther east and south. Many pastures have been converted into row crop in the region, but that should abate with grain prices slacking off. Several ethanol plants and a couple of soybean processors in the area offer a number of corn and soybean byproduct feed sources. There is ample grass, hay, grains. The hub of the U.S. livestock pharmaceutical industry is here. We have many active auction markets competing in the region. As far as Angus, the people who run the AAA are our neighbors. Commercial herds consist mostly of Angus and Angus crosses. There are few dairies, a few feeders here and there and not many Hereford of Continental breeders. Mostly small to moderate sized cow calf operations. I suppose the central and northern plains can more accurately be described at cow heaven, but we have been doing well here for six generations. BTW, my son-in-law played for the Packers from 05 through the 08 seasons and we made the trip up through Des Moines, Dubuque, & Madison to Green Bay. Nothing I saw in Wisconsin impressed by as cattle country. Dairy country maybe. And I doubt good beef cows could understand those northern accents. [/QUOTE]
