Hello there, I'm Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching and our goal is to help you maximize your productivity while improving your land faster.
I hope you are well and are enjoying your day or your evening after work. I really believe in taking some time to enjoy life and what God offers us every day.
As you may know, we have created different online courses to help livestock owners improve their land the fastest while they maximize their productivity; we concentrate on following nature to maintain our costs low and create real wealth in our properties. Things like: Understanding that stocking rate: the higher number of productive livestock we can maintain at a low cost per year determines profitability on a farm; and how real-life fertility determines profitability on a cow or a ewe; increasing fertility in our soil by creating more slow cycling organic matter; greatly increasing grass production per acre by managing our livestock grazing to create leafier regrowth after grazing; lowering hay costs by stockpiling deferred paddocks for later use; having our females give birth when we have abundant green grass and best temperatures for newborns survival; understanding how the rumen functions for optimal livestock health which is needed for best performance; and conversión of your grass to saleable products.
The Total Grazing Academy offers these 4 online courses together as they are much more effective when implemented together:
In nature, implementing these 4 pillars together the results are amazing, we have case studies where the stocking rate has increased 5 times over the county average and without feeding hay which the neighbors feed for months. Most of the livestock owners that have taken this Total Grazing Academy report much more grass, stockpiled acres for their first time, and greatly reduced hay costs by utilizing this stockpiled grass with their livestock maintained in good body condition through the difficult seasons of the year.
Please remember that we only do high harvest efficiency grazing on grass that is well recovered to avoid roots from shortening.
Maybe you want to hear some other people's stories? We have many testimonies and some of them may be of people you know.
Josh in North Carolina, shared: 336 cow days per acre with nonselective grazing of our season-long stockpile! This is some very high grazing efficiency and very high pre-grazing forage volume achieved by full season stockpile.
By following nature when managing your grazing you can greatly increase your stocking rate and your grass and soil productivity, this is explained in the Total Grazing Program online and on-demand course.
This is what Tauna of Missouri wrote: Here is what the Total Grazing Protocol looks like at the end of 3 months of D3 drought! Wow! Look at the grass, and the picture shows green and tall grass with livestock grazing it, she proceeded to say: the cows are fat with plenty of forage ahead of them. Now that it has rained, I’m looking at having about 200 acres of quality and quantity of winter stockpile for strip grazing. Missouri claims the mantra of being only 2 weeks from a drought- that is because when the rain turns off, the clay soil turns into concrete. Impossible for short roots to grow or even stay alive. Proper grazing creates deep roots, giving native and desirable species the best opportunity to thrive as well as giving safe harbour to wildlife.
And we focus on high-quality grass in the green season, hear what Amy wrote: Reaping the benefits of total grazing! Coming back to where we started for an ocean of leafy, weed-sparse, jewel-colored grass!
Michael wrote: This field was total gazed at 1m lbs stock density 4-5 moves per day. 45 days ago. Showing a picture of his pasture of leafy well recovered warm-season perennial grass.
Under the Total Grazing Program, we focus on creating stronger and deeper roots in our desirable species so they can take over the pasture.
And they ask questions which are answered correctly and in a timely manner. Hear what Sally in Zambia, Africa wrote: Hi there, we are having lovely rain and pastures are growing very fast. They are getting away from us. Is it better to keep grazing a field say 3 or 4 times in the summer and leave the others? Or is it best to graze the ones we had chosen as summer pastures all once? They were all grazed in winter. Thanks so much. We cannot continue without talking about the huge savings on hay by using stockpiled grass instead!
Hear what Roman in Wisconsin wrote about saving money on hay: I am still grazing thanks to the total grazing program, I hope to get another 4 weeks of grazing. Wow, what a difference it makes saving around $375.00 a day. That's with figuring in $200.00 per acre opportunity rent. Doesn't take long to pay for the cost of the program. And I will add, that is only on hay savings.
And this Total Grazing Program which creates a large acreage of stockpiled grass can also be used with sheep. Hear what David of Scotland wrote: My ewes and gimmers on winter pasture. Grazing them differed pasture as if they were cows.
In other environments, especially on warm-season perennial grass stockpile it may be necessary to offer a small amount of a high protein supplement to keep livestock’s rumen functioning, Mark wrote: 2 strips of stockpile down. You can see the green regrowth in the distance. I'm happy with how everything's going.
On Adapted Genetics and Selection, hear what Adam from Australia wrote: Our breeder mob is into another new paddock. It's been a dry 7 months for us but we are hanging in there well. Notice how slick and shiny the Mashona X (orange tags) weaners are. They are really thriving under these tough conditions.
Then, real life fertility goes up. Listen to what a student from Australia wrote: We preg-checked our heifers and on our worst heat year on record we had 55% breed up. Approximately 38% on grass genetics angus and 70% on our ¼ Mashona heifers.
When we start selecting following nature, our livestock become more resistant to parasites and diseases, can do more with less, and are much easier to manage at a very low cost. All of these things are needed to use our livestock to improve the land on which they graze by our total grazing program management.
This is what Michael in Georgia wrote: Another day, a few more moves. I’d say we are genetically 2-3 years out from being able to total graze to full harvest efficiency without losing body condition. We have already improved a lot!
Then, our soil fertility increases due to higher slow-cycling organic matter which makes grass productivity soar, hear what Pietro in Florida wrote: This is my 3rd summer of total grazing. Some interesting things happened. I was able to tap an additional source of revenue by collecting seed. This summer 40 pairs total grazed on only 15 acres. This provided the opportunity to harvest argentine Bahia seed on part of the remaining acreage yesterday.
Or what Simon in Australia wrote: I sowed a paddock today that had been stockpiled and then grazed the other day and it has gone from heavily compacted, shallow clay soil that barely grew carpet grass a few years ago to dark rich soil full of worms. I couldn’t believe it! Thanks to Jim and the group for the information and support.
And what about dry season on low rainfall environments? Listen to what Nicolass in South Africa wrote: First two photos is stockpile before grazing. Last photo is after grazing. We have less than two months of the dry season left. I don’t think we are going to use half our stockpiled area. Cows are still in good condition. Thanks for the program.
Or what David wrote in August 2023: Really struggling in Texas Gulf Coast right now. Only 2.35” of rain since May but still working the plan and very happy with the results. Seeing bluestem, crabgrass, Johnson grass and Bermuda which is new species on my newly acquired farm. Seeing signs of dung beetles which I haven’t seen before. Cows are in great shape and had a great surprise 100% pregnancy on all cows and heifers.
About the optimal birthing season, here is what Jesse wrote: 75% of calf crop born in the first 30 days of calving season.
Or Dan who wrote: I'm happy with my decision to calve starting in mid April because they've been able to put on good body condition these last three weeks. Central Texas
Once you learn the basics of these 4 pillars you can apply them to your specific conditions and time constraints, hear what Treg in Ohio wrote: Non-selective graze over week or so long stays at lease property. Mashona influence on calves is tremendous! Jim, telling us to do the best we could at lease was excellent advice and working well without huge amount of labor. Strategic fencing is a necessity.
People taking the Total Grazing Academy are really happy, hear what Steve wrote: This Real Wealth Ranching education is…….well……I’m 72 years old and suddenly feel like a kid with a new toy. It works! I’ve tried to prove it wrong but can’t. I’ve made several changes at the farm over the past several years, but nothing paying back as quickly and as much as total grazing. Thank You Jaime Elizondo!
Lenny wrote: I have been total grazing for two years .I have followed you for three years onYoutube. And want to make sure I am starting the year out right!! Since I have been total grazing my grass has doubled each year. I have picked up a couple new ideas from the grazing course. The course has been great!!! Jim and his helpers are fantastic!!
And now, our students are getting recognition from others:
From Australia, Adam wrote: Australia’s national rural paper is interested in what we are doing, and he sent a picture of the issue where his farm was featured.
And in Hungary, Andrew wrote: Received the “Young Agricultural Professional of the Year 2023 Agricultural Grand Prize” in Hungary for grazing practices.
Now, I want you to enroll in the Total Grazing Academy at www.rwranching.com/enroll to get the same or even better results as these students but on your own property and with your own livestock. Enrollment closes this Thursday, so we just have a few days left before enrollment ends. I hope to see you all in our first Q&A session after you receive access to the academy!
