Greg' system is based on cheap leased fescue infected land that is not fit for row crop.I have mixed feeling about Greg Judy. I think he does a great job with his herd. While his techniques are not new, he does a good job explaining why he does what he does. I don't watch much of his videos, but I will watch ones focused on his cattle. I have been tempted to buy a few of his heifers to see what I end up with. I don't have a farm large enough to experiment as much as I'd like to so I stick with what works around here.
I do rotational graze, but that's been the norm here long before I ever heard about Judy. I do make my own hay and grow row crops as well. I do believe that focusing on one thing is probably better financially than being spread over many different things. I don't like to put all of my eggs in one basket though with the way the world is. With small farms we need to make the best of what we have and we certainly do not have neighbors wanting to rent out their ground like Judy seems to have.
It's all about context.
