Real Wealth Ranching

(Versión en Español a continuación.)

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.

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...

Hey, hello! 

Welcome back to another episode of Fat Cows, Fat Wallet. 

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

I am very glad you are here because today’s episode is very insightful.

But before we start, I want to invite you to my brand-new masterclass called "3 Low-Cost Steps to Increase your Productivity Big Time".

And let me tell you, the scale of your operation or your livestock species doesn’t matter much because these steps are low-cost and will improve your productivity by following natural processes.

 These low-cost steps work with small or large scale, with cattle or sheep or goats. And they work everywhere!

It is going to be a very interesting class and I hope I see you there. We will have a live Q&A session at the end.

To save your spot just go to www.rwranching.com/masterclass.

You have two options to attend, one on Tuesday, July 12 at 6 pm Central Standard Time and an...

Hello, I'm Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where my goal is to help ranchers improve their land as fast as possible while maximizing their profitability. Today I want to talk about a myth that I hear frequently: high harvest efficiency or high grazing efficiency will damage your soil.

Where does this idea come from? I think it comes from an experiment done by a Professor Crider over 70 years ago where he demonstrated that under continuous grazing, you shouldn't graze more than half of the plant so that its roots would not shorten/disappear from the pasture. And I say that I think it comes from there because all those who keep repeating this, quote it in their bibliography.

Unfortunately, people take it as a fact, and although now we have electric fences and we can imitate nature by taking into account the basic needs of the plant by knowing its physiology in-depth, nothing has changed in these 70 years and it continues to be repeated an...

Hi, I'm Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching. My priority is to help ranchers and farmers improve their land as quickly as possible while maximizing their profitability. Today, I'm going to talk to you about whether Total Grazing works in all environments.

To answer this question we must first know where the idea of ​​making a total grazing program came from.

 Could it be that someone came up with some novel theory? Could it be that after much trial and error it was concluded that it was the best way to manage the grass, land, and animals? Or could it be, that we are trying to imitate nature taking into account the physiological needs of the plants that are grazed?

It is very important to know how to answer this question correctly because, as I always repeat, we must follow and help nature without contradicting it. Furthermore, if we do not follow nature, we will run the risk of deteriorating the environment instead of regenerating it.

Hello, I'm Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where my goal is to help ranchers and farmers improve their land as quickly as possible while maximizing their profitability, today I'm going to talk to you about hair sheep under total grazing.

In my last Total Grazing course, I had many students from various parts of the world who asked if total grazing also applies to hair or wool sheep. Some others have goats but in this podcast, I am going to focus on hair sheep.

Around 25 years ago I had up to 1,000 hair sheep in a dry tropical environment doing total grazing before I even knew that type of grazing had a name.

My total grazing students know that we are looking for the highest harvest efficiency when grazing and we typically achieve 80 to 90% harvest efficiency with cattle, and cows. But I know that many people get scared when they hear this and they think of images of bare soil, without protection, and plants with short roots, which they cal...

Hello, I'm Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching where we focus on helping ranchers and farmers to improve their land the fastest while maximizing their profitability.

Recently, I have been receiving many questions regarding smaller scale operations and Total Grazing.

In fact, some of my Total Grazing students run smaller scale operations so I wanted to create this episode to clarify a few doubts that you may have if you have a small operation and are very interested in Total Grazing.

You see, it is not only about the benefits that you will have in productivity but the importance of improving your land.

We need to realize that soil and individual plants, humus creation and future productivity reacts to management exactly the same on large as on small farms. The principles are exactly the same and as a very large cattle producer told me: anything can be scaled up or down with success. All we need to remember is to apply the fundamental princ...

Hi, I'm Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching, and today I want to show you the steps to revitalize a degraded farm or ranch. This is transcendental because the productivity, health, and profitability of your farm can be greatly increased if we follow nature, the potential is huge!. I consider a farm as a living organism where the owner is the head. So we must strive to revitalize the entire farm, but it can be done gradually.

Today I am going to talk to you about what we must do to stop degrading our land and revitalize it, we all know that the amount of humus in our soils has been declining over time and it is the main cause of lower productivity which has led us to lower stocking rate and lower performance of our animals.

We must first analyze what has caused the level of humus, the percentage of desirable species, and the productivity of our pastures to drop. It is also important to know how humus is created as we have been using humus th...

Hello, I am Jaime Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching and today I am going to tell you my experiences with feeding your livestock mainly from the grasses and forages you grow on your own farm or ranch. This is essential to make you self-sufficient in these uncertain times, work less, insulate your property from high prices of inputs and improve your soil faster.

Welcome back to another episode of Fat Cows, Fat Wallet podcasts. I hope you are well and enjoying the day, today I am going to tell you about how to feed your livestock from grasses and forages produced on your own farm as much as possible.

When we are mostly self-sufficient and are able to do without expensive purchased inputs we become independent of high-priced inputs that are going up every day. At least that is how it feels!

I had to learn this very early in my ranching career and it is the main reason I do not use any chemicals or synthetic fertilizers as they were too expensive...
