As we head into the summer months in our part of the world, many have been blessed with some much needed rainfall making life a lot more enjoyable and a lot less stressful. I hope you were one of those on the receiving end.
Speaking of the cattle market, isn’t it nice to know those weaned calves are bringing $1,000 and more. We all are. But if you are on the buying end of those deals, you sure don’t want to lose those calves because they do not have good immunity to all the different bugs that can result in those calves being non-performers or worse yet, dead.
We are all conscious that as food producers, it is our responsibility to produce a wholesome product. And to accomplish that, we must do the best job possible when it comes to having a health program in place that will, in the life of the cattle we produce and sell, have the fewest health problems as possible.

Land Market Report: January Land Sales

The rural land market in North Texas has had a fairly stale start to the year, with the number of transactions closed being minimal so far. There has been an increase in call volume from buyers, and some are turning into contracts, but I feel like we are still a little slower than we usually are at this time of the year. The “experts” are expecting fewer transactions in 2024 as compared to 2023, and they may be correct, because election years always seem to be slower. Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.

With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
