The beef industry trifecta
Record high cattle prices, historically low interest rates and a good season for many… all in the one year. This happens only once or twice in the life of a beef producer! There are many options that present themselves under this scenario.
In this BeefConnect webinar recording, join Bob Shepherd (Principal Extension Officer – Grazing Land Management) when he explores a cross section of options available to producers including:
- Business as usual
- Financial management options
- Increase long-term carrying capacity
- Upgrade infrastructure
- Livestock restocking and better genetics
- Environmental management
- Family and staff – training and succession planning.
