[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 20527, member: 39"] We don’t run a sophisticated operation. While there are numerous areas that are mission critical to success, it pays to concentrate on the tried and true wisdom that comes down from those before us. I’m no luddite, but in my way of thinking a rancher will put more in his hip pocket by practicing prudent management than chasing a new technology, certain breed or the latest idea. Making money in cattle all goes back to the basics of keeping costs and expenses down. To me, that is more important to profitability than figuring out novel ways to increase income. Chief among the basics is not spending a lot of money (stock, Rx, fancy remedies or preventatives, etc.), minimizing risk (vaccinating, avoiding first calf heifers, not overstocking, etc.), and being quick to cull. Maybe it’s boring and old fashioned, but it works. AZ, I suspect that I’m pretty safe on this comment. I don’t expect to hear much static from you or Dun or the others that have been at this for a good long while. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
