Grass Feedlot

What is your operation? Pasture Stocker, Pasture Backgrounder, Cow/Calf, Custom Grazer, Grass Fed.
What do all of these have in common?
GRASS.
You are essentially a "Grass Feedlot".
Now is your operation running at its peak efficiency of turning that GRASS into PROFIT?
The feedlot model of business is based on "Efficient use of all assets including equity, labor, equipment, & land" to produce a profit.
By using the feedlot business model, ranchers can begin to maximize their assets to obtain the highest level of profits.
Focusing on more then just 1 (one) enterprise and/or switching enterprises all together in your operation may produce more profit.
Come up with different enterprises and pencil them out.

KITT (Keep In Touch Times)

Networking.
Once you have established a network of relationships with positive like minded people you need to keep in touch with them. If a group of people have created a bond & trust then those persons can help each other make decisions in their AGRIBIZ.
KITT (Keep In Touch Times) can be scheduled to do just that. If you are planning on making decisions that will have major effects on your operation but you are not quite sure which way to go then bring it to the group.
The group should meat on a regular basis to keep the relationships going.
The HP Ranch Practicum is a great place to begin the KITT meetings.
The vast amount of knowledge and wisdom that can be attained by simply meeting 4 (four) times a year would be a great benefit to your AGRIBIZ.
The stress of "making the right decision" can be greatly reduced if you have "Your Team" to help you through the process.

Post your thoughts and lets build a TEAM

Building Network Relationships.

Building network relationships is a very important aspect of any business. It is even more important in the Agriculture world. To help with this I believe that the HP Ranch practicum is a great place to build these relationships. We all have something that can help others in their business one way or another. It can be anything from Day Work & Pasture to Supplement feeds/minerals & Hay.
On the NewAg.NET web site there is a place to add just that.
To start if off post your comments at the bottom of this page.

These items will then be placed in an organized fashion on the right of every page for all to see.
