The Black Angus is distinguished from most other breeds by its uniformly black coat color. Over 330,000 black Angus are registered for beef production in the country. Black Angus beef is well-marbled and has a unique flavor. Angus cows are also good mothers, with remarkable feed conversion efficiency.

Paul Kerley has had a longstanding career in the Salem, Oregon, real estate market.

The capital city of Oregon, Salem, has a long record of high housing demand. In fact, previous records (including the year 2019) show that the rate at which houses were demanded in the state exceeded supply. With this attribute, Salem is considered a reliable real estate market for investors, and websites like Listwithclever.com reiterate this concept.

With the high housing demand in the state, one may expect houses to be more expensive in Salem than in other cities. However, this is not the case since the past median home value in Salem was far less compared to Eugene and Portland (other cities in Oregon). This is good news for both home renters and buyers since renters can expect more affordable lease contracts while buyers can also expect affordable acquisition costs. With the increasing demand for houses in the state, homebuyers can also expect to see their assets appreciate over time.
