How to Think Like a Grazier

Being a good grazier is more than just moving livestock and setting up fences. It’s a way of being and thinking. In this, his third book, Greg shares some of the traits he’s nurtured in himself to create success. He writes about the mental toughness and techniques that helped him through hard times. He describes how he embraced his dream, learned to think differently, and chose change. He also talks about the mentors who shaped his thoughts about grazing management and describes the practices he implemented as a result. He also takes time to walk readers through a detailed example of all the things he thinks about when setting up a new lease, and how he works with landowners to maintain their interest in the land and the work that he’s doing there. And since water is a critical issue to your success, he outlines the different watering systems that have worked best for him.

No Risk Ranching

In 1999, Greg Judy was dead broke and he thought his family farm was history. But then he read a quote from Allan Nation that changed his whole outlook: “Your sole purpose should be not to own the land, but to make a living from the land.” And that’s just what Greg decided to do. Based on his personal experience, Greg Judy shows how to make a living from the land without owning it. He describes his successes as well as his mistakes to help others on the road to profit. By leasing land and cattle he went from 40 stockers to over 1100 head and was able to pay off his farm and home loan within three years. Today they have sixteen farms totaling more than 1620 acres. Soft cover, 236 pages.

Comeback Farms

Comeback Farms takes up where Greg’s previous book, No Risk Ranching ended. Here, Greg shows how to add sheep, goats and pigs to existing cattle operations. Greg details fencing and water systems that build on existing infrastructure set up for Management-intensive Grazing. Sharing his first-hand experience (the mistakes as well as successes), Greg 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. 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. With grain and fuel prices rising, Greg details how to work with nature without costly inputs, and let the animals be your labor force. Softcover, 276 pages.
