[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 31498, member: 13"] First, let me say I appreciate your service to our country. Second, your questions are too broad. Since I'm not far from Texas and hate cold weather, I'd suggest setting up in Texas. But after that, you're pretty much on your own. The number of head you can raise on 60-200 acres will depend on the climate (especially rain) and type of forage available (is it native grasses or improved). Once you select a region, go online to the state ag university. See if they have a list of county extension agents and contact the one in the county where you're considering buying land. He/she should be able to give you some help about carrying capacity of land in that region. There's a tremendous difference in the number of cattle per acre you can run in west Texas compared to east Texas. Angus cattle are raised all over the US. Their popularity in Texas has grown amazingly fast. Actually, their popularity in the entire southern US is growing by leaps and bounds. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
