This video gives a good indication as to what the selection criteria is for grass based efficiency -

In the context of South America I would contact Jaime Elizondo for advice on pasture regeneration and grazing systems https://www.rwranching.com/

Allan went into the carbon sequestration etc while Johann has concentrated on improving soil/grazing/production/acre from a cattleman point of view. There are large populations of antelope etc on Johann's ranch which are also managed as part of the environment, but not promoting the climate angle.

Planned rotation definitely work in arid environments, and farmers here in the UK are increasing production on highly productive pastures, using the same principles, but far different timing. Allan has never been rich, having worked as a game department biologist, army officer, politician (old...

Johann actually developed the high density grazing system now used in the Holistic grazing program, during the 70's people in different countries were trialing grazing systems with varying degrees of success. Allan Savory was approaching the problem of degradation in the national parks as a...

This video goes into more detail, Johannes' work has been replicated not only throughout southern Africa, but in Australia, the USA, Mexico, several South American countries, UK and several Mediterranean countries - https://sangacattle.webs.com/apps/videos/videos/show/18906811-sustainable-ranching

When we started out, we herded the cattle and goats due to the large game population, when we had to leave, with a much smaller herd, we went to polywire, having seen how my former neighbour Johann Zietsman was managing his herd, - https://www.cfuzim.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/uhdzietsman.pdf

Johann and I are from the same community in the former Rhodesia, and so I have been influenced by his work since I began with native breeds in the 70's. Jaimes' work is an extension of the high density grazing methods evolved by Allan Savory and Johann (with input from several other ranchers)...

I would add Johann Zietsman, producer and geneticist and Jaime Elizondo nutrition, grazing and composite breeding, he is well known as the manager of the largest Mashona herd in the USA.

This depends where you are in relation to nearby towns, the organic farm is near Basingstoke in Hampshire England, so we had an on farm shop selling all the produce retail to local people and passing trade, I did the same on a farm between a city (Salisbury) and a town (Amesbury) so also started...

I have done this on the organic farm in the UK six mobile units of 500 layers each moved every 4 days. With no serious hawk problems, and the resident foxes rarely taking birds, this worked out well enough. With high predator numbers I would opt for a chicken tractor possibly based on a mobile...

This is the reason we didn't shoot the wild flocks around the kraals - far too valuable as pest control, we would only harvest from the flocks further afield.

Jaime ranches in Florida and has improved his carrying capacity through a combination of high density grazing and sowing forage crops into the pasture to increase bulk and build up soil organic volume; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-M8J3fsImg http://www.regengraze.com/tag/johann-zietsman/...

Johann Zietsman's system involves using a single hot wire, the cattle are quickly trained for this system, it does involve a full time stockman, but smaller herds can be grazed together if you can organise to network with neighbours, Alan Savory has used networking amongst the tribal herders in...

Here isn the flyer for the present tour - it might be worth contacting them to see what else is being planned in the near future, Jaime had a course in Florida a few months ago; http://sangacattle.webs.com/apps/photos ... =178486700

Practicing Holistic management has been making great strides in desert recovery, the programs in Zimbabwe have been impressive, and sustainable over the 30+ years since we started with the "Savory rotational grazing system" which developed into the more comprehensive Holistic management of today.

Is anyone attending the Sustainable Ranching and Regenerative Grazing courses in July and August?

Here is one view on grass feeding though not including winter feeding in snow. http://sangacattle.webs.com/apps/forums ... w-ballgame Chip Hines has more experience in typical USA conditions; http://chiphines.com/ Here is the website for Holistic Management; http://holisticmanagement.org/...

We tried this on a small scale, and also fed bales of mature hay with seed over similar bare ground, the hay was a far greater sucess than the direct fed seed, the hay method was also used to get grass and legumes to grow on old gold mine spoil heaps which had been barren for 40 years since the...
