Sierra Foothill REC

Last week, we kicked off our 11th annual Farm and Ranch Business Planning Short Course. Every Thursday night for the next six weeks, a group of local farmers and ranchers will come together to discuss and learn about operating an economically viable agricultural business.

Most ranchers track production pounds of calves or lambs sold, seasonal gain on stocker cattle or feeder lambs, or pounds of wool shorn are all measures of ranch productivity.
