Expert financial leadership for cow calf producers. Optimize breeding programs, manage pasture costs, and maximize calf profitability with strategic financial management.
Adding more cows was supposed to improve efficiency and profitability - but instead, costs per head increased while calf prices stayed volatile, squeezing your margins.
You invest heavily in bulls and breeding programs but lack clear analysis of which genetics generate the best returns.
With land being your largest expense, you need to optimize carrying capacity and grazing costs per head.
Income comes once or twice a year at weaning, but expenses are year-round, creating challenging cash flow management.
When to sell calves, retain ownership, or background them - these decisions significantly impact profitability.
Supplemental feed, hay, and mineral costs fluctuate wildly, making it difficult to budget and maintain margins.
Should you retain heifers, buy more cows, or lease more land? These capital-intensive decisions need clear analysis.
