If you want to be the best you must learn from the best. I started from scratch with four figures and made the leap to a full time cattleman. I am the only instructor that applies what I teach in my everyday life and prospers from it in the stockyards. I am the only one that can speak from experience of quitting the off-farm job to raise cattle. I share this experience because I want others to have similar success for themselves.

This is not a direct marketing school. I will not discuss hedging or LRP. This is a cash marketing school, where you will learn to be self-hedged in the cash market.
This is a live school and will not be offered virtual.
