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.
