Two years ago my land was worth about $800.00 an acre. Now it is worth nearly twice that. I am on the same highway that Tyler is on but about 100 mi. West. The very small, back yard rancher is gone from our area. They may still live there but no longer run cattle. It's just not worth their time and many of them are just too old. There are no locally owned banks left here. The folks that used to buy a few cows with borrowed money they got by just a telephone call to the banker won't mess with the 'chain' banks loan application. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

How many cows can you run to an acre year around? (NT) -- Varmit, 16:21:36 06/13/06 Tue
- Have you heard about that new grass you can run 10 cows to an acre on? I have heard people talk of it. It has some kind of name only a scientist can pronounce. But its some kind of air plant grass. Suppose to do good in lots of places. Only feedback was if it was allowed to get to high it got moldy underneath. Something you wouldn't have to worry about in New Mexico.

- Our average rainvall is near 35" but it is NORMAL to get less than average. Rainfall distribution is the main problem. This year I have more grass on less rain because we got a good rain at the right time. More inside: -- ZD Ranch, 08:36:03 06/14/06 Wed
  - It's easy to sit for me. I look at 70 miles south of us along the coast and the land is double what it is here. I look another 70 miles south of there and its triple. I figure in another 10 years, when I might be ready to retire, this land will be worth double what it is now. I just look at it as a retirement security. (NT) -- Varmit, 11:45:08 06/14/06 Wed
