The Summer Mineral Mistake That Costs Thousands

What does "cheapening up" in the summer actually cost you? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Twain Manning and Darryl Paskewitz dig into why summer is the most critical — and most underestimated — season for ranch profitability. The cows look good, the grass is green, and it's tempting to coast. But the decisions you make right now are setting up your entire year-end. The hard truth? A $5–10K cut in your summer mineral program could quietly cost you $30–40K in results you never see coming. If you're thinking about cutting input costs this summer, listen to this episode first. Summer's when you make your money. Don't coast through it.
