Ranching For Profit with Dallas Mount (Ranch Management Consultants)


Listen Later

Dallas Mount is the owner of Ranch Management Consultants (RMC), home of the Ranching for Profit School and the Executive Link program. 

Dallas has led RMC since 2019 and worked with thousands of ranchers across North America, Australia and the UK to position their business for economic profit and ecologic health. After working with University of Wyoming Extension for 18 years, Dallas started teaching the Ranching For Profit School in 2012 and quickly established himself as an elite instructor. 

Dallas and his wife Dixie, have two adult children and own and manage a grazing operation near Wheatland, WY. RMC is focused on creating profitable businesses, with healthy land and happy families.

To start off today, Dallas shares about his background in agriculture and about his work and transition to ownership of Ranch Management Consultants.  

We chat about this quote, “This one-week investment with our expert instructors offers exactly what you need to boost profits, improve land health, strengthen business relationships and enhance your overall satisfaction with your operation.”  (Retrieved from the Ranching for Profit School “About” page on the Ranching for Profit website) and a broad overview of what the Ranching For Profit curriculum is and why it works.

Previously, this school was offered in a 7 day format and this year RMC offered a trial of a 5 day format.  We talk about the thinking behind this shift and the benefits of attending a full school rather than just the short workshops that RMC offers to introduce the Ranching for Profit information.

The school focuses on business strategy, economics and finance, people management, and leadership. Gone are the days when a farmer can just be a farmer and now business strategy and skills are essential.  Dallas breaks each of the curriculum topic areas down for us a bit and touches on one or two key ideas behind each.

We also discuss the following quotes from the book, “Healthy Land, Happy Families and Profitable Business” Pratt, D. 2013 “Is your ranch a business, or is it a collection of assets and a bunch of jobs? If you can’t leave, or if things would fall apart if you did…you don’t own a business you own a job.”  “We are hitting the bull’s eye, but we are aiming at the wrong target” and, “The cow/calf business is really the cull cow business.” 

Along with this, we talk about the Executive Link program, which is a program for Ranching for Profit Graduates, as well as other alumni resources that are available.
