[QUOTE="calfbuyer, post: 945851, member: 18445"] Welcome to the area! I'm in San Saba which is about an hour south of you. You will like it here. I grew up in South East Texas (gulf coast). It was hot, humid and miserable and there was no spring and fall, just went from summer to nasty, rainy winter. Here it is HOT in the summer , no humidity and the spring and fall are about as nice as you would want. We get a few 20 degree mornings in the winter and get the occasional bad cold front but for the most part winter aint bad. On brush country you can expect to run a cow calf pair to about 20 to 30 acres. It really depends on how rough the country is and how good the ground is. Our place has two parts, hilly and rocky not great grazing and a creek bottom that is all brush but is deep black ground and great grass and grazing. If your place is in improved coastal then you should be able to run a few more cows than on the brush country I would be conservative and say a pair to 10 to 15 acres. Only because this country will change IN A HURRY. It can be lush and green and look like paradise then change to scorched earth in about 2 weeks . If the place is all coastal then you will need to be sure to have plenty of hay in the winter because the coastal is pretty much worthless once its dormant. I would drill wheat or oats into the coastal in the fall for grazing that will help. Hope I have helped some. [/QUOTE]
