Regions Guide

Climate, forage, ticks, and disease change from one part of the country to the next. We group every listing and bull sale by region to help you judge how cattle will acclimate to your area. It’s a rough guide, so please look into your own situation before you move cattle.

Map of the contiguous U.S. in four cattle regions: North Plains/Corn Belt across the north, Arid West in the Southwest, Fescue Belt through the mid-South, and Gulf Coast along the Gulf and Atlantic.
These regions are a general guide to acclimation. Conditions vary within each one, so check your local area before you move cattle.
