Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch

May, what a wonderful time of the year this is with wonderful forages, cheap cattle gains and babies running around with the mommas in hot pursuit, especially if you have a dog, which in this case may not be your best friend. Mine seems to want to hide behind me if a cow gets after her, which in turn gives me a warm fuzzy scary feeling, but so far so good.

May is the traditional month for working and branding spring-born calves, which means it is time to give the first black leg shot to the spring calves that were actually born in the middle of winter.

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.
