Paperback. Condición: Good. "Knowledge Rich Ranching will expose you to what you need to understand when you sit down to the kitchen table on winter nights to determine how not only to make it through another year, but to develop a long-term economically sustainable farm or ranch."--David W. Morrison, Rural Papers In today's market, knowledge separates the rich from the rest. Knowledge Rich Ranching is not a how-to book on raising cattle. It is a book on how the cattle business works. It has not been sanitized nor edited by Ms. Rosy Scenario. It is about the way things really are. It is about fear and greed, and how the commodity business eats alive the naive and unaware. In today's market, it is knowledge that separates the rich from the rest. Knowledge Rich Ranching is packed with guidelines for how to read and profit from the upside-down swings of the cattle cycle. It describes various bookkeeping methods and tax tips; covers cost cutting to eliminate profit leaks; reveals the secrets of high profit grass farms and ranches; details strategies for using Management-intensive Grazing in humid and arid climates as well as during adverse weather conditions. And it explains family and business structure with suggestions for estate planning to keep today's ranch or grass farm viable and profitable for future generations. While focused on raising cattle, the principles in Knowledge Rich Ranching apply equally to producers of other livestock enterprises--sheep, in particular, which run backwards to the cattle cycle and can add a complementary enterprise to an existing cattle operation. Anyone who has profit as his or her goal will benefit from this book. It is the first to cover the business management principles of grassland farming and ranching. …

Paperback. Condición: Fair. "I like to say that when you buy an acre of land you get 43,500 square feet of solar panel. When you start thinking about your farm in these terms, the importance of having every acre covered with green, growing grass becomes apparent," Jim Gerrish writes. Gerrish coined the phrase Management-intensive Grazing (MiG), putting the emphasis on management of the growth of the grass. The animals are merely harvesters, like lawnmowers. In Management-intensive Grazing, The Grassroots of Grass Farming, he uses vivid images and detailed explanations to take graziers step-by-step through the MiG system. Written for those new to MiG grazing, Gerrish's insights and personal experience can help experienced graziers fine tune their grazing operations for added income. He begins from the ground up with the soil and advances through the management of pastures and animals, and covers how to manage the water cycle; how to work with legumes; how to stockpile forages for low cost wintering; how to plan and utilize permanent and perimeter fencing; and how to use pasture weaning for health and weight gain. Gerrish's lively chapters explain how to make pasture fertility pay; the power of stock density; how to match forage supply with animal demand; how to judge maximum intake of forage; and how using pasture records offers information, not just data.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. With sheep as the centerpiece of Still Waters Farm, Abram Bowerman presents low cost, practical solutions for raising healthy, happy livestock.From the age of six, Abram Bowerman took an interest in sheep. With youthful ingenuity he earned enough to buy his first sheep, but quickly learned a lone sheep can become sick and ultimately die. His brothers investment helped him avoid that initial mistake, allowing him to buy more sheep and build his business from the grass up, primarily on land he didnt own. By the age of 25 he became fully employed as a stockman. Bowerman explains how working with cattle owners opened the door to stockmanship. Livestock producers will learn: Healthy signs to look for when purchasing sheep, How to prevent disease and parasitism, The importance of clean water and shade, What to cull and what to retain for replacement ewes, When to make paddock shifts, The benefits of multi species, Using and training reliable guarding dogs.With more than 20 years experience, Bowerman and his family raise 400 sheep along with goats, cows, horses and poultry on leased and owned pastureland.In The Practical Shepherd, Bowerman walks you through the pitfalls and challenges he faced and overcame so that you, too, can be a profitable successful shepherd.
