$1K/acre is cheap unless you are in Hudspeth County Texas.
Paid $200 an acre for 3 1/2 sections adjoining our ranch there. Thought that was outrageous. Should have been about $50 an acre, and wasn't too long ago that it was...
How much rain do y'all get a year.? How many acres to support a cow?
We used to joke that it took a section of land there to run one animal unit... The sad part is, it's not far off from reality.
Just under 10 inches a year for annual rainfall...
But that's not the bad part. The bad part is you can't just run out a poke a hole in the ground, and get a water well.
The water wells are deep and expensive, and where you can actually strike water is even harder to find.
