“The main enterprise is raising beef - every day that you have a cow grazing, versus harvesting feed for her, you’re saving money and they’re getting better nutrition.” Tim Schnakenberg
In this episode, we dig into the real cost of poor grazing—from depleted pastures and lost forage to higher feed bills. If you’re running cattle, you’re managing grass. Learn how to let your land guide your decisions and get practical tips to grow more grass, graze more days, and spend less on feed.
 
In this episode we cover: 
Matching forage species to soil and environment
What your grass species say about pasture condition
Avoiding overgrazing and promoting regrowth
What rotational grazing does for you
