[QUOTE="midTN_Brangusman, post: 1338094, member: 23858"] Thanks everyone for your feedback! Getting a better understanding for the stocking rate in a location sure makes a world of difference when determining the amount of acreage needed in a certain area. But all in all I think it just about evens out. Locally good pasture land in my area is 4 to 5 thousand and takes approximately 2 acres per pair, If it takes 5 acres a pair in NE Texas or SE Oklahoma and the price is around 2 thousand an acre, for the same price you end up with more land and same amount of carrying capacity. However, the advantage to me of being farther south is you can have more acreage for the same price, yes it is more to take care of, but you also get the benefit of distancing yourself from your neighbors.
