[QUOTE="D.R. Cattle, post: 184847, member: 19"] It depends on what your idea of "The South" is too. As far as climates and forage are concerned, places like Tennessee, North Carolina and Kentucky are not really considered South. The family I work for have bought over a hundred 2 year old Red Angus bulls in the last year, nearly all of them coming from Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, etc. Only a dozen or so came from out West. And I must say they are some darn fine looking critters too. They have a lot of trouble acclimating to our subtropical climate and lower quality forages. Breed ups are fairly low the first year and they lose weight, but I'm told they eventually pull out. It's yet to be seen by me. Also, for what it's worth, I can't speak for other states, but Florida has very few "Small" operations but several very large operations nowadays. [/QUOTE]
