[QUOTE="Bez, post: 31557, member: 412"] I do not want to come off looking like a hard *ss - but I think you need to sit down and evaluate some things: I do not know where you are writing from but you need to look at things from a bit of a different slant. If you are attempting to locate land that will handle up to 100 cattle - as per your original post - you will probably need more than 100 - 200 acres. Especially in most parts of Texas. You are searching the internet and finding lower priced land and then asking "what do you think"? Well, remember - you get what you pay for. Those lower priced lands are certainly priced that way for a reason. If you are considering locating in Texas - a place I do not live in, but have visited often and enjoyed very much - from your questions it sounds like you do not know the area very well. So, what I would do before running through every possible question on the board - and what I think you should do - is take a driving tour through the State. Take your wife / significant other and plan a tour. Make a point of visiting ALL the places you might consider a possibility. Stop at the local government offices in each county and ask the ag rep about weather, soils, and such. Read - read - read. Everything you can get your hands on about where you want to buy. Do not - do not - do not - buy over the internet. Walk the ground first - and then follow the advice I sent you in a previous post. Contact at least one real estate rep in each area for info. More if at all possible. Once you have found the potential area that fits all of your requirements, then it is time to start a real serious land search. Remember the post I sent to you about additional costs. I give you this advice because we could go on forever about "whaddya' think" and accomplish nothing. Be that as it may, as an ex-mil guy myself I toured dozens of parts of the world before settling where I am now. There are a pile of darned nice places in the ole U.S. of A. - land will not get cheaper, but land that is truly good land will not come cheap at any time. Enjoy your dreams. To make them come true you will have to actually go there and see for yourself. If you find what you want, so much the better - if you do not - well then it was truly a valuable trip.
