24h ago12:26

12:26

If we consider our investments in cattle/livestock, and land, plus machinery needed to run our operation we can look at return on investment. Does return on investment puts you off? Let me tell you it turns me on! Why? Because it is a real bench mark that can be used anywhere and everywhere and we should use it more to make better decision when inv…

In the last podcast, I talked about what it takes to double your stocking rate again compared to a selective rotational grazing style, which was already double the stocking rate over continuous or conventional grazing.

In this podcast, I am going to talk to you about the very important differences of the total grazing program from other grazing programs or systems that are popular and that you may follow one of them.

#97 Myth Buster Series “Livestock end up grazing overmature grass with the longer rest periods in the Total Grazing Program” 14:24

4M ago14:24

14:24

This is another myth most people believe which I want to explain and debunk. The first thing is to remember that the Total Grazing Program is a program, not an isolated grazing event. It considers the whole year, multi-year, and every day of the year. It doesn’t make sense to have your livestock consuming overmature grass when everything is green a…

15:02

This is a myth I hear and read about all the time: "If I graze too hard I will degrade my land”, which is one of the most common reasons people don’t move forward to implement the Total Grazing Program. What type of grazing will produce more leaves in the regrowth? A selective grazing where they leave the stems behind? Or total grazing where your l…

Is it really true that “Total Grazing doesn’t leave residual behind to protect the soil surface from heat or cold”? Some think that the residue protects the soil from erosion caused by water or wind, others think that the residue protects the soil from the sun and high temperatures, and others think that the residue protects the soil from low tempe…

You see, when I’m out in the world and I’m speaking with other ranchers or farmers and they ask me what type of grazing I do, and I explain to them, the looks I get from them are very entertaining and show a lot of confusion.

We know that we can use our livestock, hooves, and grazing to improve our grasses and our soils by creating lush and leafy pastures in their regrowth, which by allowing them to grow to full recovery will create strong and deep roots.

What is nutritional adaptation determined by genetics? It is a very interesting topic because it explains how the expression of a gene is turned on or off by marks in the genes due to the environment.
