Land Market Report: October 2019 Rural Land Sales
Submitted by Jared Groce
Below is a synopsis of land transaction for the month of October 2019 in five of our North Texas counties.
Land sales are picking up briskly for the fall selling season in most areas of North Texas. Some properties that have become “stale” by being over priced on the market for too long are beginning to see the light and reduce their asking prices. A notable change for October was the average land size for farm and ranch sales was 116.3254 acres – much higher than we normally see in this area.
There are a lot of buyers looking for 20 to 100 acre recreational properties in the area, as well as a good demand for large properties, both with and without homes on them. As always, small tracts of 10 acres or less, are always in demand for rural residential use.

Babies are tucked away in every nook and cranny. Many ranchers across Wyoming have baby animals popping up all over this time of year.

Another load of grain in to keep feeding the calves until the green grass can really start popping.

Spring has sprung and hopefully the rains will continue where our country will heal from the previous droughts and our grasses will thrive. We are especially hopeful for the Panhandle of Texas where our neighbors and friends have been dealt a deadly blow to homes, ranges, livestock, and people. Keep them in your prayers as they will not be able to return to normal for many years if at all. Having lost their ability to benefit from this great cattle market is a double whammy for all of them.
Now is the time of year when we need to take care of business as it relates to our new calves that have been hitting the ground this spring. First and foremost is vaccinating for Blackleg followed by deworming with a white wormer and the IBR complex. Blackleg is a soil-born disease and with pastures extremely short this spring our calves have been grazing the green grass as soon as it shows itself, making them even more vulnerable to picking contaminates from the soil.
