  • Selecting top cows in your herd to rebuild your herd

  • Importance of line breeding

  • Learn linear measuring on real cattle in the chute

  • Learn financial statement analysis

  • Become banker friendly

  • Using profit and loss statements to manage your operation

  • Learn about Holistic management for profitability

  • Finding your weakest link

  • Equipment as a liabilities, not assets

  • High density stocking for herd impact

  • Inexpensive watering and fencing systems critical to success

  • Lost practices of animal husbandry

  • Natural ability of cows

The school will consist of three mornings of classroom-type sessions.  These sessions will be held in the conference room of Days Inn in Mountain Grove, MO.  Afternoon sessions for all three days will be held in the pastures, working pens and with the livestock of the Rockin H Ranch.  A fantastic opportunity to learn the ins and outs of a cow/calf operation hands on!  All sessions will be intense with plenty of question and answer time.

Gearld Fry will help you learn how to select, breed, and manage a herd for health and performance on grass and how to create gourmet beef.Lush forage at the Rockin H Ranch  Gearld has worked with cattle breeders for more than three decades, having operated a reproductive center and is now serving as an independent consultant.  Much of his consultancy is based in ration balancing and finding answers to livestock health and performance problems in nutrition.  He is familiar with all areas of traditional and modern conventional breeding methods and is accomplished in embryo work, pregnancy checking, semen collection and artificial breeding.  He is author of Reproduction & Animal Health and lives in Rosebud, AR, with his wife, Margie.  You can access Gearld's website at www.bovineengineering.com.

Cody Holmes will reveal all the details on the financial success of the Rockin H Ranch's 900-cow/calf operation in southern Missouri.  From it's meager beginnings over 35 years ago, Cody will explain the ins and outs of growing a ranch in the modern agricultural arena of today.  This is a real time working ranch exhibiting real time current profit and loss statements as an example for other cattlemen.  Your livestock can be the only machinery required for a sustainable ranch.  Learn how to discern between the essential inputs and all the others.  If you're working more than 3 to 4 hours per day on your family livestock operation, chances are you are simply costing yourself into a deep, dark, bottomless pit with a lack of planning as a root cause.

If you are serious about turning your cattle operation into a profitable enterprise, take time to schedule with us today.
