Did there seminar in Houston many years ago, also one in Mobile a few years back they were very informative. Having said that I cancelled my subsciption about 6 months ago as they have become grassfed everything b.s. paper. Origannly when I took the magazine back in the early 90's its focus was to grow grass or a crop with as little imput as possible. It really worked for me, but now there thinking is 180 degrees in the opposite direction
I have no doubts that we can stockpile grass here on the coast to cut down on hay being fed. The problem is if we have a wet winter as we usually have, the stockpile grass you had is useless, then you are trying to run down hay when it will cost you the most

Texas PaPaw,
You might as well give up on trying to help most folks on this site with any ideas of Sustainable Agriculture and Organics. I had one of the most popular topics on this site and the Chemically Minded ruined it by continualy highjacking it as they are doing to your topic now.
They think all of us Sutainable/Organic/Grass Fed folks are just in it to make the money.
If anyone else is interested in Sustainable Agriculture/Grass Fed/Organic. Maybe we just need to start a topic where we answer those questions only. Anyone Interested.

I went the the "Custom Grazing" school last year. They made the guys with the big hats sit in back of the room! Judy Greg was great. Also Jim presented a short version of "Get the Hay out" there. Nothing profound - - if you buy a lot of equipment it is costly to make and feed hay. The first step to recovery is to calcuate what your expenses really are. If you PM me I can forward a spreadsheet to use as a template.

What seems to happen is Stockman GrassFarmer writes columns that summarize the schools, and then Allan writes books that summarize the columns.

The big plus for me in these events is meeting some great new folks. I am planning to buy cattle from one of them this spring.

I went to a grazing workshop a couple of years ago where Jim Gerrish was the main speaker. It was worth the price of addmission but not much more. As Stocker Steve said the interaction with the other producers was probably more valuable than what I learned from the speakers.

Well, I went to 2 of their seminars as I stated. The one in Mobile sorta got under my skin for one reason.. They had a fella named Dick Diven, I believe was his name... Now it was advertised that this fella was gonna show us how to cut our maintince costs...... basically how to do it cheaper....Bout all he did was make a sells pitch for you to come to his school...Have to admit it did get under my skin...Dont promise one thing and deliver something else...The ole saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".

It was fun though to set one speaker up against the other at a round table setting. Case in point.. Mr Diven and his calving ing the summer and R. L. Dalyrimple, sorry if I buthered the spelling....R.L. ran a lot of the ranching for the Noble Foundation, they calved in March, thousands of cattle. It was fun watching Mr Diven squirm. Here was a guy that taught seminars versus a guy that did it on a regular basis........too me it was case closed. Dont get wrong nothing wrong with calving in the summer, but here in the deep south it didnt apply, and thats what the seminar was supposed to be about......how to ranch cheaper in the deep south
