Post subject: | grass fed livestock |
Brief update - Last week I went to TOFGA conference at South Padre. Great experirnce and food was great. Best orange juice I have had (We used to live next door to groves in SW Florida. Grass fed beef was also very good. At the conference Walt Davis spoke on grass fed beef but it was only about 1 hour. His experience teaching was great but he couldn't cover a lot in one hour. THE GOOD NEWS-Walt is doing a two day seminar in Crockett Tx on Feb 11 and 12th. This sponsored by HRM - Holistic Resource Management. The normal fee for this is $200.00 but do to the sponsorship the fee will be $100.00 and this includes lunch both days. For those that don't know Walt, he is 5th generation rancher and farmer. He went to A & M and went home and practiced all the "New Stuff" that Land Grant Colleges and chemicals companies (is this an unholy alliance) tell their graduates and farmers through the extension agents. He also got advice from OSU. Walt was successful and produced bumper crops but when all was said and done they lost money do to the high cost of chemicals. He also recognized that the land eas being destroyed. They almost lost the farm. This is when Walt decided to change and go back to had sustained the ranch and farm for the previous generations - and he did save the ranch. Walts program explains the practices that worked. He goes into the type of cows that work for grass fed and other regenerative practices. This program is a bargin.

Crockett, huh. Out of my range again. I hope someone takes good notes and reports here. He's exactly the kind of person I'd like to hear. If anyone ever speaks on HRM within 150 miles of San Antonio, I'm there. I'll need some notice as my wife is in the final throes of her master's degree and needs a lot of quiet time - so I'm keeping the girls out of her hair most of the time. |
