[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 1614363, member: 122"] Unless you want to farm/ranch full time don't base your decision on cattle. Live where you think you would most enjoy the weather, lifestyle, distance between neighbors, proximity to entertainment/shopping, etc. I'm guessing there are profitable cattle operations in every state, and also operations that lose money in every state. If one area was more profitable than others, everyone would flock to that area driving land and rent prices up and it would not longer be the most profitable. If you do want to make cattle a priority, every area has specific advantages. For example, long growing season, powerful grass, by products, crop stubble to graze, cheap land, etc. But each area also has a disadvantage, long winter, distance to market, little rainfall, high land prices, etc. One thing to keep in mind when considering land prices, is not all land is created equal in regards to carrying capacity and length of growing season.
