About this episode

A discussion on the worst ways to spend $50,000 in ranching and the role of technology in improving ranch business efficiency.

If you had an extra $50,000 to invest into your ranch today… what’s the smartest way to use it? In part two of this special roundtable discussion, Zach Hopson, Dallas Mount, and Paul Foster discuss the worst ways to spend money, when equipment actually makes sense, paying down debt versus keeping cash available, and how ranchers are beginning to use AI and technology to improve decision-making, grazing management, and overall business efficiency. A practical conversation about deploying capital, managing risk, and building a stronger ranch business while cattle markets remain strong. Plus, a conversation on the first and only intranasal BRD vaccine offering protection against IBR, BRSV, PI3, Pasteurella multocida and Mannheimia haemolytica... and it's safe to use in calves 1 week of age and older. #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranching #ranchlife #cowcalf #cattle #livestock #ranchbusiness #ranchprofitability #agtech #virtualfencing #AIinAgriculture #riskmanagement
