In this talk Greg Judy talk covers the steps used to find leased land and build a multi-species grazing operation from scratch.
Livestock can be a blessing or a curse. It's all in the management. With smart management livestock become a multiplier on the landscape. By using a variety of livestock to manage the forages it allows better utilization of plants. Harvesting much more solar energy through the wide selection of different plant leaves.
This is a message that Greg Judy has come to learn, live by, and not preach.
