Do you question the future of your family farm or ranch?
Are you looking for ways to keep family tradition while pursuing new ideas?
As a young person in agriculture, it’s a balancing act to respect the generations that built your operation while challenging the status quo of “we’ve always done it this way”.
Education is vital to your ability to carry on the family legacy.
The truth is, no one ever wins by staying the same. Success is a combination of building on the past and anticipating the future.
Now’s your chance to succeed with Cattleman U.
Before I tell you about the program, I want to tell you who it’s for.
Cattleman U is for farmers, ranchers, beef producers, cowboys, and cowgirls who are hungry for learning, community and personal development. It’s for first or next generation ranchers who are excited about combining tradition with technology and networking with others who share the same mission and goals.
What You’ll Learn:
Cattleman U provides you with video and audio trainings, community support and business discounts to help you succeed in your farming or ranching operation.
“I have been nothing but impressed with this program. I can learn when I have time and the information has been well-rounded, practical, and useful. The ranching industry has changed so much in my lifetime, one will never be successful if they don’t try to benefit from knowledge and change. I give it a two thumbs up!”
-Scott
“So far I have found this to be an excellent resource. I grew up a town kid, dreaming of restarting the farm and raising cattle. I am now starting to make that a reality. There are a ton of classes and information out there for raising crops. But very little on the ins and outs of cattle and the cattle market. I have been searching for a program like this for years and I am excited to learn and help my operation as I move forward.“
–Harrison

The Cattleman U Story
When my brother returned to the ranch to work, he lost the time and opportunity to continue his education. Chores, kids and management responsibilities prevented him from going to conferences or even local cattlemen’s meetings. At a time when he needed support and education to do his job well, he didn’t have either one.
That’s why I created Cattleman U.
Because too many farm and ranch families enter the operation, or start their own, and lose the opportunity to learn, grow and network with others. You need access to the latest tips and strategies to make your operation profitable. And more importantly, you need to surround yourself with like-minded producers to learn from and find accountability.
Cattleman U gives you both.
Now you have the ability to learn from industry experts and make friends with fellow cattlemen and women from across the country.

What’s Stopping You From Joining?
“I don’t have time for a year-long course.”
A mentor once told me the best investment I could ever make was in myself. And everytime I invest time and money in my personal development, I get a substantial return. Cattleman U is designed for the hard-working farmer or rancher who doesn’t have time to attend a conference or sit through a dinner meeting. Every training is less than 1 hour and is available in video or audio format so you can watch or listen whenever you want, as often as you want.
“But I don’t own cattle yet”
It doesn’t matter if you are a 4th-generation rancher or you’re just starting out, Cattleman U has something for EVERYONE! Cattleman U is a community for us all to learn and there is no such thing as a stupid question. The presentations you’ll find inside Cattleman U provide real world knowledge that will be applicable whether you’re planning your dream ranch or looking for adjustments you can make in your day-to-day on your operation.
“Cattleman U is too expensive”
I know membership to Cattleman U isn’t cheap. But neither is education from industry experts and community support from like-minded individuals. We’ve assembled more speakers than you’ll find at any conference to cover the most pressing topics in the industry and gathered hundreds of producers in our online community to help support each other on their farming and ranching journey. Cattleman U will help you save money, make money and manage money.
“I don’t get much out of online courses”
Online courses have a tendency to leave you full of knowledge and low on implementation. That’s why Cattleman U is a community, not a course. Our members-only Facebook group allows you to discuss new ideas with other members. The Profit Panel Q/A gives you personal access to our speakers for further insight. We know ongoing support is key to helping you succeed. At Cattleman U, you won’t just learn what to do, you’ll discover how to do it!

Plus Bonus Content from Andy Junkin!
The worst thing that can happen to a family farming or ranching operation is turmoil within the family. When relationships get strained, buttons get pushed and succession gets lost amidst the conflict. Parents and children can’t communicate effectively, and siblings can’t agree on who is in charge.
The future of the family farm or ranch may be at risk unless you have a plan to overcome these challenges. Professional mediator and relationship manager Andy Junkin “helps stubborn farmers work together” by providing clear and practical steps to overcome issues that arise at the dinner table.
In his 6-video series, Andy walks you through simple, effective and applicable discussions you can have with your family to keep order, harmony, and success within your family operation.
Topics include:
- How to address problems before they become issues
- Strategies for creating long-term accountability
- How to develop effective and open communication methods
- How to define your business goals and objectives
- Keys to achieving work-life balance
- Tips for transitioning management to next generation
