First off today we continue our series with Bruce Viney, risk management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, on what to consider before deciding on expanding a cow herd, or taking over an existing one. Yesterday Viney talked about the first steps—strategic planning and knowing your cost of production. The next challenge, says Viney, is profitability.
Tomorrow Viney takes a look at some upcoming events this fall which will provide more information for those contemplating expanding their cow herd.
