I am working on a project collecting "Rule of Thumb" ranch principles that we often use. I am interested to see if they are different by region, or if they are fairly uniform. I will share a few examples.
Multiply your calf check by 2 and that is how much a replacement cow is worth.
Contract your calves light so you don't get caught by the price slide.
Take half and leave half for good pasture management.
These are just a few that I hear often. Do you have any "Rule of Thumb" principles that guide your decisions on a ranch?
