"Larson, who is leading a study on labour use in cow-calf systems, says many producers rely on broad estimates when accounting for labour. That lack of precision can make it difficult to identify inefficiencies or opportunities for improvement."
"Schoepp adds that time loss is often tied to overlooked factors like infrastructure, distance, and daily friction points. Small inefficiencies, from poorly designed gates to long travel times, can quietly add up, impacting both profitability and quality of life."
"As Schoepp says, 'if I don't give myself the headspace I need, I am not productive,' highlighting the link between rest, mindset, and decision-making."
"Ultimately, better time management isn't just about doing more, it's about doing the right things more effectively. As Schoepp puts it, approaching each day with intention matters: 'gratitude allows us to come into the day... it gives us space... it allows us to see what's important in that moment.'"
Time management is crucial in cow-calf operations, affecting both productivity and well-being. Many producers use broad estimates for labor, hindering the identification of inefficiencies. By tracking time closely, producers can understand where hours are spent and identify improvement opportunities. Time loss often stems from overlooked factors like infrastructure and daily friction points. Effective time management involves not just doing more, but doing the right things effectively, emphasizing the importance of mindset, planning, and communication.
