Judy will show you that you can have it very fast if you will just ask for it.\"-Allan Nation, \u003ci\u003eThe Stockman Grass Farmer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Greg Judy was forced to liquidate his cow herd to pay debt in 1996. By the end of the following year he was dead broke and figured the family farm was history. A quote from Allan Nation, editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Stockman Grass Farmer\u003c\/i\u003e magazine changed his whole view of ranching. Nation said, \"Your sole purpose should be not to own the land, but to make a living from the land.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inspired by that approach, Judy started looking for idle, non-developed pastureland. By focusing on leasing rather than owning land, his grazing operation grew from 40 stockers to 1100 head. By custom grazing on leased land he was able to pay his entire farm and home loan within three years. Today he has four farms and leases 12.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No Risk Ranching, Custom Grazing on Leased Land\u003c\/i\u003e describes how he found and managed his first and subsequent leases. He offers a detailed guide for other graziers to follow on how to find idle land to lease; calculate the cost of a lease; draft and write a land lease contract (with examples included); develop good water and portable fencing on leased land; promote wildlife and improve timber stands; keep accurate records and more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No Risk Ranching\u003c\/i\u003e was written to help other graziers from making the same mistakes Judy made. He writes, \"I am convinced that in the USA our pastures are one of our most underutilized natural resources. I am not against land ownership. I just feel like it is an awful hardship on a new blooming grazing business.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50719862882577,"sku":"CIN0963246089VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51156150616337,"sku":"NIN9780963246080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51331147530513,"sku":"CIN0963246089G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52867015049489,"sku":"GOR012301477","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0963246089.jpg?v=1751077676"},{"product_id":"comeback-farms-book-greg-judy-9780972159739","title":"Comeback Farms","description":"Many folks are hesitant to try Holistic Planned Grazing because of what they think it entails. \u003ci\u003eComeback Farms\u003c\/i\u003e responds to such hesitancy with enthusiasm and positive attitude and by articulating the basics in a very simple way, demonstrating to readers that it is possible to make these changes without a lot of infrastructure investment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Greg Judy shows how to add sheep, goats and pigs to existing cattle operations. He explains fencing and water systems that build on existing infrastructure set up for Management-intensive Grazing. Sharing his first-hand experience (mistakes as well as successes), Judy takes graziers to the next level. He shows how High Density Grazing (HDG) on his own farm and those he leases can revitalize hayed out, scruffy, weedy pastures, and turn them into highly productive grazing landscapes that grow both green grass and greenbacks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e If you have six cows or 6000, you can utilize High Density Grazing to create fertile soils, lush pastures and healthy livestock. Greg Judy, the master of custom grazing, shows how to earn profits with little risk while using other people's livestock on leased land. Judy details how to work with Nature without costly inputs, and how to let the animals be your labor force.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eComeback Farms\u003c\/i\u003e covers multi-species grazing; developing parasite-resistant hair sheep flocks and grass-genetic cattle; and how to select, train and care for livestock guardian dogs. It includes High Density Grazing fencing techniques, diagrams for HDG fencing and paddock moves; and how to calve with HDG.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e By following Judy's examples, you'll have your neighbors talking and wondering about how you keep your fields green and your livestock grazing year-around. In the process you'll be pocketing your profits.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51825873420561,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51825873649937,"sku":"CIN0972159738G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52393983344913,"sku":"NIN9780972159739","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53477708300561,"sku":"CIN0972159738VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780972159739.jpg?v=1752686512"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-greg-judy.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
