Project Overview

The objectives of this project were to promote the sustainability of Wyoming cattle producers through use of a comprehensive production strategy and risk assessment program. Producers first received training on goal setting, insurance options, risk management strategies and financial enterprise analysis. Producers then received information on marketing and production strategies. To reinforce the tools taught participants practiced risk assessment and enterprise analysis for an example ranch at the end of each production strategy session. This project built on an existing program offered in Wyoming. The project was accomplished through eight, 3-hour, workshop sessions at four locations in Wyoming during 2009. In addition we provided written and web publications and one-on-one consultation with interested producers. It was anticipated that 40 producers would attend the workshops with all graduates completing a risk and enterprise analysis for at least two potential opportunities for their own operation.
