The US a whole is only like low 40s.
It's vastly different across the state of TX. You have to remember we are several Oregons, like 9X more from a cattle stand point. So ETX where BC is, I believe, is vastly different than the middle gulf coast or STX or WTX, central, the panhandle, etc. If I listed just my friends operations it will sound more like your valley because we are in a different area. I've posted the map before and yes, there were more than 7 barns just around me.
Private land ownership plays a big role also vs govt leases.
