I thought for sure it would be Soaking in Utah.

Here in Florida, a surprisingly large industry is in cattle, mostly centered in the large area north of Lake Okeechobee. We have the largest cattle operations in the South, if you don't include Texas, and we're not that far behind. The point, though, is that little of that cattle is sold directly, most of it is shipped to Colorado for final fattening at the stocks there, I learned a while back. We just raise them here, but the final product comes out of Colorado. So I'm wondering if that's why Colorado is listed for meat, and Texas and Florida is not. Just a thought.
Yeah, my FIL has a cattle ranch in SW Virginia and he sells to feed lot operators that ship them west to fatten up. That seems to be the norm for Southeastern cattle ranchersQillerDaemon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 2:49 pmHere in Florida, a surprisingly large industry is in cattle, mostly centered in the large area north of Lake Okeechobee.

when you are raising cattle from birth until around 700 lbs, you need lots of acres for them to graze. around 2 acres or more per animal. It takes a lot of hay to feed a mamma cow and get the baby up to size. But then they (the calves) are taken to a sale barn and sold to the ones that haul them off to feed lots to finish them off to slaughter weight of around 1200+ lbs. In a feed lot it takes very little space and they are there around 3 or 4 months. The animals aren't grazed, they are put on high protein feed in troughs and they gain around 6 lbs per day.QillerDaemon wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 2:49 pmHere in Florida, a surprisingly large industry is in cattle, mostly centered in the large area north of Lake Okeechobee.

Feedlots would not be as tolerated in more populated areas like Florida like they are in sparsely populated areas like here in Kansas.Animal wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 3:05 pmwhen you are raising cattle from birth until around 700 lbs, you need lots of acres for them to graze. around 2 acres or more per animal.

Texas has around 3 million cattle in feedlots. Colorado has around 1 million.

oh, nevermind. Lake Kemp.
i need you guys to find oil and/or gas over in Collin County and then maybe look into re-drilling/fracking some very old fields in NW Comanche County. Thanks.Hydroseismic wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 5:53 pmYeah lake Kemp.
