[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 905174, member: 14661"] Your article mentions Livermore and a few places like that and says that development is eating up ranchland... Livermore is valley land and somewhere around 90%of the states beef cattle are raised on some degree of slope. We ranch on the stuff that can't be farmed, farm on the stuff that isn't lived on, and set growth limits on the city limits so that they don't eat our farms. Honest to God ranch land here still sells for $350-500 per acre and the better the slope, the more cows you can run per acre. Alfalfa has been steep but with a little forethought and planning we can go almost without(I didn't feed a flake of hay this year beyond my horses who got some after a tough day). And the un-availability of lease ground is due directly to the high prices... Everyone's trying to jump in. [/QUOTE]
