Free Event
The Pajaro Compass aims to improve coordination among conservation organizations, support working lands, and advance conservation with interested parties. I encourage anyone who lives in the Pajaro River Watershed, especially San Benito County Ranchers, to come learn about the Pajaro Compass and how you can be involved. This meeting will provide an opportunity to build a better understanding about how to use the Compass document and website and officially launch the Pajaro Compass Network. The Pajaro Compass coordinators are interested in hearing from you about project ideas and areas for possible collaborative efforts. Please RSVP to the meeting by Thursday, June 9 by following this link. Even if you are not able to RSVP in time for the meeting, please come if you are able.
Ranching For Profit Workshop With Dave Pratt of Ranch Management Consultants
June 25, 2016, 8:30 am to 1:30 pm
Gonzales, CA
$25 pre-registration, $30 at the door (includes lunch)
Knowing how to raise livestock is not the same thing as knowing how to run a business that raises livestock. This workshop will show you how to apply simple, proven and powerful business, economic and financial principles to your ranch. You will learn the 3 Secrets for Increasing Profit and how to use economic and financial benchmarks to identify your "profit drivers" and "dead wood." You'll see why most livestock operations are structured to lose money and find out what you can do about it. Click here for the Ranching for Profit Workshop flyer.
