Proven Results

Your Herd Grew. Your Revenue Grew. Your Profits Didn't.

Adding more cattle was supposed to improve your bottom line - but instead, it added complexity. Now you're managing more head with the same unclear financial picture.

Cattle Price Volatility

Unpredictable cattle market prices make it impossible to plan sales timing or budget for future revenue cycles.

Feed Cost Management

Feed represents 60%+ of production costs, but you lack visibility into cost per pound of gain and feed efficiency optimization.

Market Timing Decisions

When to sell, when to hold, when to buy feeders - without market analysis, these critical decisions feel like guesswork.

Cost Per Head Analysis

You know your herd size, but have no clear picture of profitability per animal or which cattle are your best performers.

Pasture ROI Uncertainty

Is that additional pasture lease worth it? Without clear land cost analysis, expansion decisions are challenging.

Equipment vs Labor Trade-offs

Should you invest in that new handling system or hire more help? ROI analysis is critical but often missing.
