[QUOTE="MikeBo, post: 1337744, member: 21940"] Here is my suggestion, Missouri is generally 2nd or 3rd in the nation in beef cattle, but the state is also in the top 4 for corn production. However, the corn country is north of highway 54 that divides the state E to W. The southern 3rd of the state has the majority of the cattle, it is one of the most dense cattle areas in the country. My farm is in Mountain View, 30 miles north of the Arkansas border in the Ozark foothills. Reasons this is great cattle country: -Property is affordable 800-1500 per acre - cattle density, gives great acces to markets and excellent genetics - Agriculture zone 7, long growing season - 40+ inches of rain per year - part of the area destined to get increased rain from global warming vs. more drought....if you believe in it - in the Bermuda belt, with acces to affordable chicken litter out of Arkansas. - much of the property is beautiful, with live water - my farm stocking rate is 1 pair per 1.68 acres, producing enough hay for winter as well, even at that rate we routinely have to brush hog extra forage to keep it vegetative. - many dairymen relocating here out of the Ohio valley and Illinois for reasons mentioned above. Just my thoughts, hope it helps [/QUOTE]
