Land Market Report: March 2020 Rural Land Sales
By Jared Groce
“Well, that escalated quickly!” Probably the best comment I have heard since the COVID-19 issue has turned the nation, and indeed, the world, on its ear. The United States went from the lowest unemployment rate in history to the highest unemployment rate in history in less than three weeks, and it is still climbing.
So what has this done to the real estate market? I get five to 10 calls a day asking that very question. The short answer in our area is, not much. As you will see below, there are still people buying and selling real estate with the only real changes being in social distancing.
Showings are being done differently – either by virtual tour or without anyone else around, and closings are being done remotely instead of in title offices.

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.
