I have bought southern cattle many times and as long as you do it early enough in the year to allow them to adjust I have not had a problem.
I have a small place in the middle of Florida right in cattle country but I have not been there for about 4 years as I just don't like it and when my 83 year old mother passes I will probably sell it and not go back -- - - - beautiful place but I can't stand the summer heat, drought , and smell of the everglades.
Its a good thing people are different or we would all try to live in the same place and that would be terrible. I don't even like going to the county seat and they only have about 20,000 people.
