[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1259044, member: 498"] I have never lived in any of the areas you mention but I have been through all of them at one time or another. So I will tell you about my area and things to consider. JBLM is just up the road about an hour from my place. Farmland in good size chucks runs about $4,500-5,000 an acre. If you get closer to JBLM that price will go up. We do grow good grass so with good grass management you can run a pair on about 2 acres and that is counting hay. Most ranches I see advertised for sale in the PNW run about $10,000 per pair. Now that is the asking price and those ranches that the real estate people choose to advertise. There is undoubtly places that are cheaper. It is pretty tough to make a living and pay a mortgage at $10,000 a pair. So an outside source of income will be important. As I said in an earlier post the farther you get from areas of good employment the more affordable ranches become. [/QUOTE]
