Achieving Success With a Business Plan: Case Study of a Cow/Calf Business Plan

CC426

Brown Cattle Company is a family partnership cow/calf cattle operation with some corn production. We currently own 200 acres of land for crops and 400 acres of pasture. . .

This case study of a fictitious family illustrates how to create a business plan for a cow/calf operation. Based on the background and records of this family, you will see how to:

create an operation layout;
write a mission statement;
identify business goals;
specify short-term and long-term goals;
set priorities and goals;
express the purpose of the plan;
explain the strategic outlook;
collect legal and contractual information;
explain the production and financial situation; and
form a marketing plan;
plus more.

The 18-page, spiral bound publication is three-hole punched and can fit into a notebook. Keep it alongside your own records and refer to it as you create your own business plan.
