[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 850413, member: 9"] Starting ANY TYPE of consulting business is a long shot... It takes having the right hands on experience as well as academic credentials. Takes contacts, networking, referrals, advertising, etc., etc. Other posters are correct: TONS of free information on the internet as well as a variety of State and Federal agency sources. An Example: Temple Grandin, a professor at Colorado State University, has a livestock consulting business on the side. She is world renown...and has written extensively in professional journals and books. IMO, one would be better served to write a book and find a decent publisher who handles agricultural related manuscripts. In our own case, we "know" how to be more efficient and make a profit. Problem is...the on-going economy, and the "anti-Longhorn prople" don't help matters any. Then, there are those "high-rollers" who have mega bucks to spare on Livestock operations who (probably) do their enterprise as a tax write-off as well as an ego-boosting drama act to show the "swine out there" just how much "fake" money they are making by wheeling and dealing while being an absentee entrepreteur and letting their ranch managers run everything... JMO... :) [/QUOTE]
