[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 7030"] I'm not in Texas, but I'm close and have been a memeber of the Texas Angus Assn. There were more registered Angus cattle transferred to Texans last year than any other state. The demand for Angus bulls in Texas has suprised even people who promote Angus in Texas. They are also selling well in Louisiana. I was at a sale in NE Texas in the spring and a fellow from Arkansas was buying 7-8 month old bull calves split off their dams at the sale for $800-$1200.
