Visited a neighbors farm yesterday to review some regenerative grazing practices. You can see his 100 sheep in the distance past the house. Hereford in the foreground.

He has built like a dozen ponds on this place. Was dead grass everywhere when he bought it 7 years ago and he has brought the place back to life.

I was going to say that it looks grazed to the bone, but I guess this was just prior to moving them.

Yea, he is holding the cattle back some to buy him some time before he starts a new neighboring pasture.

I paid between 3-4k per acre where I am at. A mix of decent pastures and forests. A bit steep in many parts but that is just how it is here. Plenty of flat open spaces in the valley/holler and on the ridges for decent grazing.

Cows and sheep can graze hillsides just fine. You'd be surprised how steep they will go

He's likely in the foothills of the Appalachians. Depending on the state, you can probably find land at around $5k per acre, but it must be 100 acres or more. It must be more than 2 hours away from the nearest city for those kinds of prices. Although, land is weird right now so if you want to move quickly it might cost you $8k or $10k per acre.
