I hope we don't need them this year but just in case here are some ideas for Cattle Production in Drought Situations.Droughts should be considered "normal" in the cattle industry. All producers should make plans well in advance of their occurrence. Below are a few ideas that you might consider:Adjust stocking rate to the carrying capacity of dry years, then take advantage of favorable years with alternative enterprises such as retained ownership, stockers, etc.Know the seasonal forage flow and be prepared to adjust the stock flow accordingly.Plan for water availability. Gain access to large water reservoirs or well water if possible. Graze areas with limited water reserves first.Add additional fencing. Crossfences increase the number of paddocks, increasing the ability to control graze and rest periods. Avoid the temptation to "throw open" all of the gates.Lengthen pasture rest periods during slow or no growth times. Plants can withstand severe grazing if followed by proper rest periods. These rest periods allow plants time to replenish tissues above and below the ground.Know critical dates for rainfall and forage growth. These dates coincide with seasonal temperatures and day length that directly affect the forage flow of the forage types.Have animals selected in advance to sell. Establish levels of
Interviewing a new job candidate sounds easy. After all, you are in control. You have something to offer. You can select anyone you choose to select. Right? That sounds good but in reality interviewing a person to fill a job opening is one of the more difficult tasks you may face as a manager. It does require specific skills to do it right and increase your chance of hiring the ideal person for the job; the person that will stay and fit in with the culture of your company. That being said, I personally don’t know of one company that has a formal program to train their managers on how to conduct an interview. Interview training is much the same as training managers how to conduct a performance review. It is a rarity to find a company that actually does it. Recruitment, retention, interviewing and performance reviews are not just a “Human Resource” (HR) thing. They are a basic responsibility of all managers.
You can interview candidates for hours, do profile testing and have multiple team interviews and still not know for sure if they are the right person for the job and the right fit for the company. An effective job interview is one that will allow the employer to select an employee who will not only be able to perform the job, but who will stay on the job for an extended period of time. Turnover which requires rehiring and retraining are expensive for a company.
The Questions
Asking the right questions is not as easy as it sounds but questions that determine skill level and experience are fairly straightforward. The more difficult objective for any manager conducting an interview is to select the applicant who will fit in, work well in a team environment, be a contributor, enjoy, respect and promote the company’s image. Selecting an individual that can not only do the job but one that will be so happy working for the company that they will stay can be a real challenge. Facing that challenge requires asking the right questions.

AN INTERVIEW IS:
A FACE-TO-FACE ORAL COMMUNICATION:
1. Between an applicant and an interview team
2. Initiated for a specific purpose
3. Focused on very specific subjects

There are basically three general views in today’s world of business. The first is that the only thing stable and asset tangible is a company that possesses a building and has in stock an inventory of whatever they are selling. The next are those who have grasped to a certain degree the benefits of virtual assets but are only comfortable with these assets as long as they are representative of a bricks and mortar company. The last of course are those who have grown up with a potion of their reality virtual, and they are as comfortable with browsing a web store as they are walking through a department store, maybe even more so.There are the inevitable plus and minuses attached to each of these schools of though. Let’s discuss the bricks and mortar establishment. There undoubtedly some major advantages to the tangibility of a place where you can pick up the product run your hand over it smell it and make sure it is up to your approval before you lay down your hard earned dollar. Perceived or not some view a bricks and mortar establishment as a guarantee that the consumer will have the customer support necessary should any problems arise with the product. In other words we all like the idea of having a door to kick down and a face to put to the problem, or do we?That brings us to our next group of consumers. A good example is someone who fee

It struck me the other day during lunch at a local Moe’s Southwestern Grill that a new phenomenon has swept the restaurant landscape in the form of poor attempts to differentiate from the competition—renaming accepted terms of business with cutesy nicknames. This is readily visible in the faster food sector, and it’s becoming more prevalent as companies struggle to connect with the consumer in manners which create loyalty and/or preference.Take Moe’s as a prime example. Personally, I believe they have a very good product to offer, but they’ve gone and out “cuted” themselves with ridiculously silly nicknames for their fare which only serve to confuse and frustrate the customer. It’s easy to see them thinking behind the scenes, but it’s a risky attempt at product differentiation. They’re in fierce competition with franchises such as Qdoba, Baja Fresh, Chipotle, LaBamba, Taco Bell, and Tijuana Flats, (plus many others) but those competitors don’t require a translator to order a simple burrito or taco. Try popping into one of those places one day or night to order a “Joey” or an “Alfredo Garcia.” You’ll get looked at like you have three heads (with good reason).What would possess a franchise to resort to childish nicknames to try to differentiate themselves? It’s probably an executive’s poor excuse of a marketing concept designed to separa

"The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and do more of what you do..." They say, if you don't do it excellently, then don't do it at all. A strong and unique identity to support your business and represent it at all levels, not only attracts customers but also gives your business recognition in the market. A great logo design does more than just represent a business; it creates a familiarity, evokes an emotional response and sets you apart from the competition. We seldom realize how much a logo is attached to our day-to-day life. From the moment we wake up in the morning until our heads hit the pillow at night, we are surrounded by logos. They are on the products we use, the clothes we wear, the cars we drive and what not. Even the communities we live in feature logos on street signs and marquees.The more original a logo, the more obvious it seems afterwards. A carefully managed and well-implemented brand identity program will carry a company's image to the world. An accurate implementation of the brand identity elements will build equity in the brand and strengthen and unify the messages in the market. Unfortunately, many companies make serious mistakes while designing their logos. Good businesses with bright future often end up with logos that are less than ideal or even poorly designed. As a consequence, they are unable

In the United States price collusion and predatory pricing are illegal. Yet if you look out to industry associations you often see groups of businesses beginning together and discussing pricing, sales strategies and method of operations. One could say this is price-fixing. Worse off agencies like the Federal Trade Commission often side with businesses in industry associations to work with them in self policing policies. One would suppose that this helps the Federal Trade Commission watch over an industry without spending much time or costs in enforcement.Unfortunately, for the consumer these industry associations often attack their own; that is to say the industry association and its members will go after the newcomer entrepreneur who comes into the industry gangbusters with low prices. Such a competitive upstart company will make waves in the industry and thus be a target of the association. The association working along with the government agency such as the Federal Trade Commission simply has to have its lawyers who generally are working pro bono as they are already on staff at one of the industry associations members companies turn the Company in on trumped up charges of some rule or regulation.About the only thing that the Federal Trade Commission is good for use to use to attack your competing companies. You see if the government

2. To obtain additional information not contained in the application.
3. To test to a degree, the applicant’s truthfulness regarding information on the application.
4. To obtain information from the candidate which will help appraise his personality, character, motivation and skills/knowledge.
5. To inform the candidate about the job, its requirements and the company.
CONDUCTING THE INTERVIEW
After you have conducted the necessary introductions and addressed work history, begin to focus more on probing for data you need to assess from the candidate in reference to the specific job requirements. Avoid asking questions which can be answered yes or no. Ask open-ended questions which call for lengthier answers, for answers which give candidate’s opinion. If your questions begin with HOW, WHEN, WHY, they’re probably open-ended. Don’t ask leading questions which suggest a particular answer; the candidate will give you the answer he thinks you’re looking for.
Regarding work history, for example, try leading with a question like, “Tell me about your job at the XYZ Company”. The way he answers this question will indicate what he considers important. If he is slow to get going, ask him WHAT he LIKED and DISLIKED about the job; WHY he was interested in that job when he took it.
Then you can probe more deeply into -------
1. Level and complexity of work
2. Extent of responsibilities
3. Motivation
4. Attitude and feelings
5. Effectiveness on prior jobs
6. Achievements
7. Interpersonal relationships
8. Level of accountability & authority
Here are some useful questions to ask in these areas. Don’t go down the list asking everyone in order. That would seem like an interrogation …. But these questions do suggest some useful approaches:
Level and Complexity of Work
“What did your job at XYZ Company consist of?”
“Could you describe a typical day at work?”
“What sort of things took up most of your time on this job?”
“What kind of decisions did you typically make on this job?”
Extent of Job Responsibilities
“Explain how you fit into that organization.”
“Tell me a little bit about your former boss.” “What were his/her responsibilities?” “How much contact did you typically have with your boss?” “Describe some of your interactions with your boss.” “Were you empowered to get your job done? How?” “What kind of decisions did your boss expect you to make?”
