e129. Book Review: Ranching Like a 12-Year-Old

Join me as I explore the engaging book "Ranching Like a 12-Year-Old" by Tom Kravitz, which offers a refreshing approach to ranching that's simple, easy, and fun. I share my thoughts on its concise 183 pages packed with valuable insights and practical advice, perfect for both novice and experienced ranchers. Plus, hear about an exciting giveaway—Tom has generously provided two copies of his book for our top contributors in the Grazing Grass community. I also encourage you to support Tom by purchasing the book directly from his website. Also, I highlight the upcoming Regenerative Legacy Summit, featuring renowned speakers and invaluable learning opportunities.In another segment, I delve into improving grazing management practices with a focus on adaptive multi-paddock grazing, particularly beneficial for those balancing off-farm work. We discuss the importance of frequent animal movement in ultra-high-density grazing systems and how to adjust schedules to prevent overgrazing and promote pasture health. Learn about the critical balance of graze and rest periods, optimal graze times, and the benefits of using a grazing chart.Links Mentioned in the Episode:Regenerative Legacy Summit Simply RanchingVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteKencove Farm Fence Looking for grass-based breeders? Explore the Grass Based Genetics directory.Visit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond Agriculture Grassroots CarbonGrazing Grass LinksWebsiteCommunity (on Facebook)Original Music by Louis Palfrey
