Howdy, friends.Ā Let me start by saying thisāI appreciate you.
I appreciate every cattleman and cattlewoman who gets up early, works long hours in all kinds of weather, and puts in the effort to raise the best beef in the world. America depends on you.
This job isnāt easy, and it never has been. Yet, you show up, day after day, because itās who you are. Youāre not just ranchersāyouāre caretakers of the land. Without you, this country wouldnāt have open spaces, thriving grasslands, or healthy cattle.Ā But let me ask you somethingā¦
Are you getting the results you deserve?
Are your pastures improving year after year?
Are you running the number of cattle youād like?
Are you spending less time and money on hay and feed?
If not, let me tell youāitās not your fault.
Youāve been following the advice of grazing experts, university programs, and āgurusā who sound good in a conference room but donāt make their living from cattle.
They told us to:
- Move cattle too often or too little
- Leave to...

Hello, how are you? Has life been treating you well today?
Having fun in what we do as work is vital, and it becomes easier to put in the effort needed for success.
Most people I know work for money and use it to do what they love.
I am fortunate. I love my work: researching, testing, and teaching people. I help my students do more with less, mimic nature and boost productivity at a low cost. I also want them to enjoy life and have more free time. This is my passion, and I look forward to each day and what it will bring.
Sign up for my free masterclass. It outlines three low-cost steps to boost your productivity. You'll learn how to maximize your profits while quickly improving your land. Sign up here:Ā www.rwranching.com/steps
I have been involved in many things, and sometimes, I have had to work for money, as one must do what one has to do. I did and loved many things. One was being a dairy nutritionist for 20 years for confined dairies.

Hello, how have you been? How are you doing? Are you making the most of what your farm produces naturally? Are you contradicting nature?
We must make the most of everything we have while improving our farm and its soil.
Nature is highly productive. It uses no fertilizers or agrochemicals. But this is true only if man hasn't degraded the soil.
Savannahs created the best soils in the world. Savannas had grasses and some trees. Herbivores grazed and pruned the grass during the seasons and then migrated. Ruminants need better grass and migrate first, while fermenters leave when the food runs out; as they ferment in the cecum, like horses, elephants, rhinoceroses, etc, they do well on lower-quality grasses.
And what does this have to do with your livestock business in 2025?
A lot. By knowing how our soil forms, we can apply that to our grazing program in three sections. For example, in the total grazing program, we have one-third of the land as s...

Hi, this is Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching. We help you enhance your land and maximize profits while requiring minimal effort.
My passion is regenerating the land with grazing livestock on it. I always say that we help to improve your land and maximize profits quickly. But, to do this at the lowest cost, you need adapted genetics and selection guidelines. They will create much better animals that can do it.
Your livestock can regenerate or degrade land. It depends on your selection guidelines and your genetics.
How people manage livestock can either regenerate or degrade the land.
Like someone says: it's not the cow; it's the how.
So, we have the total grazing program. But then we must look at the costs and how easy or difficult we want our lives to be. Let me explain:
Some livestock, most modern breeds, have been selected for maximums: weaning weight, daily gain, and yearling weight. To achieve these maximums, they have been select...

Hello. I hope you are well, focused on what matters to your business, and that your life is becoming easier.
Money is a necessary means of exchange. We trade our time, effort, and brains for it so that we have enough to meet our and our families' needs. But we also need time and health to enjoy life and be happy.
Today, I will explain how to increase soil fertility. We will do it without inputs, at no cost, and only through your grazing management.
Why is this important? Input prices have increased dramatically over the years, while cattle prices have not increased as fast.
We need to use natural and biological methods to produce more with less, and this is what motivates me

Hi, this is Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching. We help you transform your land and maximize profits while requiring little effort.
Do numbers freak you out? Do you prefer to keep working, investing money, time, and effort in something that may or may not be making you money?
Even if you raise cattle as a hobby, knowing where your money, time, and effort are going is much better.
Let's examine the cost per cow and find ways to reduce these costs. We need to make grazing cattle profitable. Nothing is wrong with doing it as a hobby, but I would still ask you to stay and hear me out so you can better understand what is happening. You can still improve the leverage per hour of work and per dollar spent.
Feeding hay can cost hundreds of dollars per cow, depending on how many cows you maintain per 10 acres. If a round bale costs $85 daily, it can feed 35 cows for one day. So, the cost per cow per day is $2.42. Over 150 days, it would be $364 pe...

Hi, this is Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching. We help you quickly improve your land and maximize profits with minimal effort!
If you are doing set stocking or if you are doing rotational grazing, I want to congratulate you.
The land needs livestock, or it will degrade; it is as simple as that.
The state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, hired me to help regenerate deserts. I have seen that removing livestock from the land speeds up desertification. The land needs livestock with hard hooves to break the hard crust that forms in semi-arid areas. Even with continuous grazing, the land does better than without any livestock.

Hello there, I am Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching.
Are you focusing your efforts and time on what matters?
Are you using your time wisely?
Today, I will discuss the Pareto principle, which states that around 80% of your results result from 20% of your efforts, time, and money.
We want to gain leverage, get the best results, make more money, and have more free time. So, what gets in our way?
Do we know where our efforts give us more leverage in our grazing business? Are we used to doing too many things and chores that contribute less than 80% to our results?
Working smarter, not harder, is something I usually say. Hard work does not make you rich; leverage does. The right kind of leverage compounds your output even without any additional input.
Leverage refers to your influence over how resources like time, money, and labor (particularly of others) are spent. The more of these resources you can influence, the more significant your le...

Hello, I am Jim Elizondo from Real Wealth Ranching. We aim to help you maximize your profits while improving your land promptly.
You may need to learn and unlearn some basics to get there. For example, energy in plants is created by photosynthesis and consumed by respiration. Pretty basic, right?
After grazing, more green regrowth will boost production under total grazing. But, after selective grazing, your livestock will eat the best parts of the plants. They will leave behind the stems, which continue to respire and drain the plants' energy reserves. Forage plants store their energy for regrowth in their roots and crowns.
I said many crucial things there in a few moments, but most grazing gurus still think differently. They say that leaving green leaves behind helps forage plants grow faster. Their theories ignore basic plant physiology, and they fail because of this.
We must follow nature, study the parts we manage, and get the best result...
