[QUOTE="Chapin81, post: 1756675, member: 39180"] Yes family is originally from down there. My parents originally got into the cattle business because of a relative. Originally purchased 2 parcels of land about 90 acres each, every year after that purchased a few more parcels to where it’s at now 500 acres. Is the land worth money, compared to what the base yearly income is down there yes. The problem is once you have a property big enough and wanted to sell it would be difficult to do so because no one has that kind of cash down there and banks only loan money if you give them collateral. Breeds of cattle depends what part of the country your in. Brahman comercial, purebred registered in the hot areas like ours. Nelore, guzerat, gyr, sardo negro which I think was established in Mexico unless I’m wrong. We also have simmental fleckvieh registered purebred, angus, brangus, siembrah which I think also imported from Mexico. Holstein, brownswiss. Most small producers have cattle that I call mutts, you can’t even tell what it is because it’s been crossed so many times. We originally started with zebu, nelore and guzerat. It wasn’t until 2 1/2 years ago we focused on registered pure Brahman sires. I sold 450lbs weaned calf’s a month ago at $1.22 🇺🇸 a pound. It’s hovering at a $1.10 🇺🇸 as of yesterday. Steers on feed are about $1.38 🇺🇸 a pound. The first sire is a JDH Mosley manso son, the 2nd is a V8 458/7 “noble” son they just arrived this past week. the gray bull facing left eating grass is a JDH Woodson son and the last one is a JDH Clanton son.
