Hello, I am Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where our goal is to help you achieve maximum profitability while improving your land the fastest.

We all have heard the term overgrazing, while we know that it means that the grass has been re-grazed before it fully recovered many people confuse it with taking the grass too low.

There are many reasons for this misconception, one is that there was an experiment done in the fifties by Crider where he proved that cutting the grass too frequently without appropriate rest periods resulted in weak and thin roots with much lower productivity. Then, he concluded that it was better, under his conditions, to only graze half the plant. This was a recommendation for rangeland under selective grazing. We now know that doesn’t work as livestock are selective grazers and will take down to the ground their preferred species while leaving others untouched and that is the main reason for desirable grass specie...

I think you have heard this before; you cannot have your cake and eat it too, especially in ranching or farming with livestock. What I am referring to is to produce as many pounds as possible of calf per acre but with an emphasis on getting a good price for your calves in the conventional market.

The conventional market being the sale barn where the prices and types of cattle the order buyers for the feedlot want is precisely what is not as efficient in converting your grass into pounds of weaned calves.

Many cattlemen call the type of females required to excel on grass maternal cattle, while the type of cattle required to produce taller and later maturing cattle that the order buyer from the feedlot wants is called terminal cattle.

This term, terminal cattle, means that they will excel on a fe...

Good morning, I'm Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching, where our goal is to help you to maximize your productivity at low-cost now and in the next years.

Today, I am going to talk to you about the importance of keeping our livestock in good body condition, preferably all the time.

Why is it so important to maintain our livestock in good body condition?

1. The immune system requires fat for its optimal functioning, an animal with good body condition will be able to defend itself against parasites and diseases better than a thin or skinny animal.
2. A cow, lamb, or goat, in good body condition, will be more fertile than a thin or skinny one, why?
   
   Because fat is necessary for the production of estrogen, which is the female hormone, and estrogen is necessary for the estrous cycle and ovulation to occur. Without ovulation, there is no egg, and without an egg, there is simply no offspring! In addition, it has been shown that the body condition at calv

Hello, I am Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where our goal is to help you achieve maximum profitability while improving your land the fastest.

Maybe you know all about how important marbling is for the beef to be a pleasant eating experience, maybe you were taught that beef fat is bad for you, and I assure you it is healthier for you especially if it comes from grass-fed animals, Beef, sheep or goats. Seed oils, on the other part, are not healthy for you even though they have been heavily promoted as heart-friendly. Read the oiling of America to get an idea of what really happened. 

Today, I want to tell you about the huge importance of early marbling in your cattle

Stored energy in the body of the animal is mostly in the form of fat, it can be fat in the internal organs, fat on the outside of the muscles close to the skin, or fat inside of the muscle, which we know as intramuscular fat or marbling.

Marbling is the fat that gives us a...

Good morning, I'm Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching.

I hope you are having a good day and are ready to take advantage of the opportunities that each day brings us. Let us thank God for the opportunities he gives us.

Have you wondered why it is so difficult to change your opinion, way of thinking, routine, habits, way of grazing, cattle selection guides, ways of doing our numbers, etc.?

In my life I have learned and unlearned when I am exposed to better methods or new information that, after careful analysis, I see is better and makes sense.

By doing this we can move forward and not stay in the past because knowledge, especially in these times, advances in a fast and amazing way.

But, IT IS NOT EASY to change our minds, precisely because of something we call paradigm.

What is Paradigm in simple language?

A paradigm is a standard, perspective, or set of ideas. A paradigm is a way of looking at something. The word paradigm comes up a lo...

Good morning, I am Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching.

I hope you are having a good day and are ready to take advantage of the opportunities of this day, week, month, and year.

Today I want to talk about a transcendental topic, not only for your farm and family but also for the whole world in which we live. Something that I have been thinking of more as I see how degraded we are leaving the world we live in for the next generations.

Why is it so important to think about the world we live in? Simply because the world, as a whole, is a closed ecosystem and what we do or fail to do has an impact, for better or worse, on other human beings within this closed ecosystem.

Let's think about this a little, will my actions be important to other people on the other side of the planet? Or are the actions of those people on the other side of the planet important to me and my local ecosystem?

The more we consider this, thinking it through, we will ...

Good morning, everyone. I am Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching. Today I invited Dr. Diego Martínez-Conde, MD (Obesity & Comorbidities Specialty, and Masters in Applied Nutriology) who specializes in nutrition and helping people to get cured or improve their health by feeding or getting them grass-fed or pasture animal products.

By knowing the truth, which is NOT what we have been told for many years as we have been lied to by scientists not showing the full results of their studies when results contradicted what they wanted to show, you will be empowered to take control of your health and get rid of inflammatory foods that create the conditions for: Diabetes, Hypertension, Stroke, Cardiovascular problems and more.

Once you know for certain that Cholesterol and Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary for your optimum health, you will be able to break free of bad advice. Having a healthy and long life will allow you to enjoy your life and not fall into chronic diseases as you grow ...

Hello, I hope you all are well and happy with today’s opportunities.

I am Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching and today’s subject will be How to best use our irrigated land.

This is a very important subject for those that have irrigation and for those who want to maximize their opportunities in livestock farming.

Your efficiency of land use will be greatly enhanced while you will avoid the huge problems that a drought gives to the rest of the ranchers or farmers.

We need to start by considering the WHOLE which I will call wholistic to include all the different factors that make up a successful ranch with high productivity and high profitability without depending on high-cost external inputs.

Please share the link to this podcast with others who may benefit from listening.
We know that most ranchers or farmers only harvest around half of the forage they produce. This has many causes and reasons.

First, I will state that stocking rate, or ...

Hey, hello! 

I am Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where our goal is to maximize your profitability while you improve your land the fastest.

Today, I am eager to share with you how to increase wildlife on your farm or ranch thanks to the Total Grazing program.

Remember that in this Total Grazing program, we do not only avoid overgrazing on your land to create more humus and higher quality forage, but also set aside around half of the property to use as a stockpile for winter and dry times feeding your livestock, and of course, your wildlife!

If you know of anyone that can benefit from hearing this, please share the link with them.

Wildlife is an essential part of the world we live in, and we want more of them and more diversity as they are also a signal of good environmental health.

So, we must ask the question, what can we do to draw or attract more wildlife into our properties? Well, let’s start with their needs.

All living things...

Hello! This is Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where our goal is to maximize your profitability while you improve your land the fastest.

I love hosting this podcast and teaching the program of Total Grazing, this is because not only does it improve the environment, but it is because I get to meet and talk to people and students from all over the world, from all walks of life, ranchers, and farmers who are inspiring, who have been through loss and success and who have persisted and succeeded despite all odds, who have been through enormous challenges and are still standing.

I get so happy to get the chance to hear their stories and learn about their journey as they have gone through my total grazing course

But the best of all, is hearing about their success stories once they start applying the principles they have just learned.

Hearing about their successes, how they now have better soil, much leafier forage, more free time, less stress, and the list goes on...
