On The Move

John Haskell is a rancher and entrepreneur from Sheridan, Wyoming.  He is the owner of Ranch Right, LLC, a consulting business dedicated to helping ranchers understand their financials and make decisions to create profitable and sustainable businesses.  From an early age, John wanted to be a cowboy. He had the opportunity to work on a variety of different ranches across the American west as he honed his skills in horsemanship, stockmanship and ranch management. John shares how mentors such as Bud Williams and Allan Savory helped shape his skill set and perspective as a cowboy and rancher. Ultimately, John came to the conclusion that most ranches suffered from one distinct problem, a lack of financial understanding. Today John runs a large multi-state cattle enterprise as well as Ranch Right, LLC. Tune in for a fun conversation about cowboying, stockmanship and the “un-sexy” but vital parts of the ranching lifestyle.
