3. Cow Depreciation and Cow Longevity with Wally Olson


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we welcome guest Wally Olson to the show to talk about cow depreciation and longevity. Wally argues that the traditional approach to cow depreciation is flawed and emphasizes the importance of tracking inventory value to improve profitability. He challenges the notion that cows cannot pay for themselves until they are eight years old and highlights the significance of capturing the appreciation of female cattle. The conversation covers the financial implications of cow-calf operations, the importance of reproductive efficiency, and strategic management of inventory value to build wealth in the ranching business. 

Wally is a firm believer in helping place an old head on young shoulders. Wally teaches cattle marketing schools and loves to help young people get started in ranching. For more information about Wally and to hear his story of ranching and learning visit his website www.olsonranchllc.com
