Land Report: February 2020 Land Sales
By Jared Groce
AAhhh yes, another election year is upon us. In the real estate business, that
typically means a slower market. Not necessarily an up or down market, just slower. It seems like many people don’t want to make a life change when there are variables they feel may have an impact on their lives.
Generally speaking, the six county area that I monitor and report on (Cooke, Collin, Denton, Grayson, Montague and Wise) saw a slight drop in the sold price versus the list price (SP/LP) and an increase in the number of days on the market (DOM), which indicates a slowing in the market. Average price per acre also shows a decrease over the 2019 yearly average. Keep in mind that one sale in a county can skew the averages greatly.

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.
