[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 71623, member: 195"] Another factoid from TAMU An interesting challenge noted about South Texas ranchers was their average age of 58 years with only 33 percent prepared to transfer ranch operation to children. The majority were uncertain as to the disposition and long term operation of the current enterprise. This has resulted in many properties being leased for both cattle and recreational usage. The future challenges appear to be focused on enterprise selection and determining the management aspects and practices that represent a long term survivability and financial advantage to land ownership and ranch operation utilizing cattle and other livestock, including wildlife. These same concerns are applicable to any beef cattle enterprise in other areas but are critical in South Texas due to the restrictions to alternative agricultural opportunities, limited rainfall and other regional environmental conditions. Primary attention to better production and marketing knowledge and business management skills is considered absolutely necessary. [/QUOTE]
