Abstract

Texas Beef Partnership in Extension Program utilized a team approach to recommend sound production and financial practices to improve the profitability of an East Texas beef ranch. The team gathered production and financial information annually, evaluated this data in a standardized information system, set production and financial goals, and developed plans to attain these goals. This systematic process identified management practices that lead to improving profitability in beef herds.
