[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1787350, member: 39018"] Pasture management "consulting" is different than "pasture and herd management"... but obviously is very "related"....... How much personal experience do you have with AMIG (Adaptive Managed Intensive Grazing), [B][U]with your own $$$ on the line[/U][/B] (... I can't emphasize that last part enough)? It's one thing to have attended all the meetings and seminars and to have learned all you can from the "experts" (the speakers at these events). It's an entirely different thing to actually apply that information SO THAT IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS YOUR OWN FINANCIAL OUTCOMES, [U]TAKE ON THE PERSONAL AND DIRECT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THOSE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS[/U], and come out with an acceptable profit in the end. Even if you've been closely associated with some of the highly regarded "experts" in the field through an intern program where you were physically responsible for much of the day to day labor and even SOME of the observations and decisions, like having done an internship with Greg Judy for example, that's NOT the same as having personally invested in some land (including potentially renting land) and animals, and then making it work. [B]I don't want to discourage you...[/B] but rather, I want to ENCOURAGE you to have your eyes wide open, and to be able to OBJECTIVELY look at all the factors.
