Feedyards in Cattle Feeding Country of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico offer several advantages: (1) The area’s central location may mean less transportation costs. (2) An ample harvest of locally-grown feedgrains and volume shipments from the Midwest ensure a plentiful supply of feed. (3) Relatively mild winters and good summer weather have helped the three-state area earn its reputation as “Cattle Feeding Country.” (4) Lenders in the area understand the industry and are willing partners. (5) All major packers have located large, modern plants in the area, ensuring a market for finished cattle.
