When I moved back to the ranch I saw most of my neighbors, and family struggling with this last part. They were essentially living in the middle of the 1900's where you just raised your livestock, took them to the sale barn and received whatever the cattle buyers decided the market was on that day.
I decided that I had to diversify, I had to implement new strategies, that would give me multiple streams of income, in a small way that would in turn, not only improve my bottom line, but also show others ways to improve their operation without going through the disasters I did. Many of these were the same strategies I have been using on my own operation for the last 30 years when I was waiting for goat contracts. I also spent my time visiting, farms, and ranchers wherever I was working to learn about their success, and struggles. I have compiled, an amazing amount of information, that I feel is important to share with others.
