Freedom an’ Whisky: A Place Still Wild

“Why is it you cowboys have to do everything at the crack of dawn?” I once jokingly asked Woodrow.

He quickly dismissed my banter and gave me some logical answer about it being best for the cattle. I think they do it because for one single moment out there in the breaking light of the sun, just as it peaks over the horizon, they are one with the past, present, horse, cattle, and God. For a single moment everything is right in the world.

Their hearts beat true and pure. They have done it hundreds of times before, the task is not new, but still, they rise before the sun because it is there in that peace of the natural light of dawn they ride.

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.
