 MARGIN & PEOPLE MANAGEMENT 2013 - Building Business Skills for the Future

This outstanding program is a unique opportunity for up and coming lotfeeders and those involved in the wider feedlot industry to focus on the business end of the feedlot industry. The program is designed to provide you with a deeper understanding of how to manage a modern feedlot business. Lot feeding is all about margins - this program will focus on the financial side to upgrade your skills set. You will cover the finer points of commodity contracting, hedging and pricing. You will learn about time management and setting priorities; about human behaviour and how to work more effectively with other people. The course runs across 4 x 2 day training sessions.
