[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 899540, member: 2653"] Maybe because I went to LSU and graduated in Management - but I really believe in planning. That also means planning for the unexpected as well. I had to write a "Emergency Procedure" for a plant that I managed at. It was good real life practice. when you are forced to think of all possible detrimental things that could happen (for the plant that meant fire, train derailment, hurricane, tornado, chemical spill, bomb threat, flood, employee going postal, etc.etc.etc.). Having an idea of what catastrophic events could happen, will inevitably make one prepare for those events. Maybe I'm anal, but I'm known at work as "Mr. plan B". I also have a second (third or forth) action in my mind just in case things don't go as planned. If they go as planned, great. If not, then at least I've given thought to how they should be handled. Maybe it's the boy scout in me :D Why would someone NOT have a plan for their cattle operation? And buy low/sell high is not a plan..... Heck, I have LIFE goals; one was to be an executive (as in VP or higher) by the time I turned 45. That changed at 39 when I had cancer. My list got "re-arranged", and executive is nowhere on the list. However "good dad" is at the top. [/QUOTE]
