Attached is a fantastic Power Point Presentation on the Basics of the Cattle Business in Texas.
Land is Very Much a Sacred Resource
Thru higher education I have learned that the business world is about managing sacred resources. For most of my life I have struggled with wants verses needs. Things you want may not be the same as things you need.
It comes down to those who have the most money are the ones who get the sacred resources. Society does not delegate sacred resources by need. The poor people wait in long cheap lines and the wealthy people do not wait in lines, but pay considerably more.

Depreciation and the IRS
The strangest piece of knowledge I learned at Tarleton State University, while obtaining my Bachelors of Business Administration degree in Accounting, blew me away. I have worked in cost control for Roche and BASF and thought I had a pretty good understanding of how accounting worked. Before that I was and estimator for several private companies, the largest of which did 300 million dollars of business a year.
