Low-input ranching uses thinking (management) to solve problems – instead of money. What could be more cost effective?
Those who sell inputs – whether pharmaceuticals, equipment, machinery, feed supplements, chemicals, etc., etc. – are NOT at all concerned with how much money you make as long as you stay in business (just barely) and continue to support them.
Quote Worth Re-Quoting –
“Most ranchers get out of bed looking for ways to spend money, rather than ways to make money.” ~ Bud Williams
Indeed – learn to do it on the farm, or do without.
What are some good resources for getting started with low-impact ranching?
