Experts Journal

Spending time in the sale barns with ranchers and cattleman, there is continual debate about the ideal cow.  The common answer is:  She weighs about 1,200 pounds, weans a big calf, does not take a lot of feed for maintenance, and breeds back each year.  Though this is a simple answer, does not mean it is an easy one.  The direction the beef industry is heading may make finding the ideal cow even more challenging.

Twenty years ago I embarked on a wild, fulfilling, and often perplexing adventure - selling Texas ranches. This gave me the opportunity to work with some great people. It is always a greater adventure to work with buyers because you never know where the journey will take you. AND it often does not end with the acquisition often evolving into a deep and satisfying long term relationship.  This is a marked contrast to the clear goal one establishes with a seller client who is often exiting our world with the sale of his or her property.
