How To Write A Cattle Farm
      Business Plan Effectively




Click Here For More Tips On Raising Cattle The Proper Way And
                Avoid Making Costly Mistakes


A cattle farm business plan will serve as your guide to starting up a cattle
farm business. Below are several tips on how to write your business plan.



Consider your goals and objectives.



Before you lay out your cattle farm business plan, start brainstorming.
Think about what your specific goals are. Write them out. The more you are
able to envision what your particular objectives are, the more able you will
be to come up with strategies to reach those objectives.



Do a SWOT analysis.
SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
SWOT analysis is an important tool used in business and economics. Before
you write out your cattle farm business plan, figure these four planning
strategy factors out. Remember that you have to analyze two kinds of
forces: internal forces that you can control, such as what cattle breed you
choose and what kind of feed you give your cattle, and external forces that
you cannot control, such as market prices and the type of soil your pasture
is on.



Perform an internal SWOT analysis of yourself and your farm. Think about
what you are good at and what you need to work on. Consider asking other
people or professionals to help you in the areas where you feel you are
lacking knowledge or skill. Perform this same analysis on your farm, your
herd, and your cattle farm operation.



Perform an external SWOT analysis of the cattle industry. Read the news
about the livestock industry. Consult local agricultural magazines. Scan the
Internet for information on the cattle market. The more informed you are
about what you are getting yourself into, the more prepared you will be for
any surprises, challenges, and pitfalls there may be.



Figure out where you are at and where you need to be.



You need to know where you are at now, where you want to be, how to get
there, and how to know if you have arrived. Asking yourself these questions
and then defining each as a performance indicator will help you visualize
your business plan as a journey. When doing this, remember that you have
to differentiate between your personal goals and your business goals.



Start outlining your Cattle Farm Business Plan.
It should have three main sections: the Strategic Plan, the Operating Plan,
and the Succession Plan. The Strategic Plan portion of your Cattle Farm
Business Plan should include the Vision Statement, Mission, Values,
Situational Analysis, Goals, Objectives, Critical Success Factors, and Plan of
Action. The Operating Plan needs to have the Production Plan, Marketing
Plan, Financial Plan, Human Resources Plan, and Quality Plan. The
Succession Plan is basically a continuity plan for your business in case it is
sold or in inherited in the event that its owner dies.



Determine the type of farm ownership.



There are several types of ownership: proprietorship, co-ownership, general
partnership, limited partnership, trust, corporations, and joint ventures.
Determine what kind of business organization your cattle farm will be and
indicate this in your cattle farm business plan.
