Multi-Species Grazing Foundations with Greg Judy (Remastered) Part 2 of 3

In this episode, Greg Judy shares practical, field-tested lessons on building profitable and resilient multi-species grazing systems.

This remastered session dives into the infrastructure, grazing strategies, drought planning, and diversified income streams that help producers improve pasture performance while reducing dependence on costly inputs.

From fencing and portable paddocks to hunting leases and soil health, Greg explains how intentional management can dramatically improve both profitability and land resilience.

🔑 Key Points Covered:

Fence is the Highest ROI Investment:

Permanent perimeter fencing built with high-tensile steel creates control, improves grazing management, and prevents costly overgrazing.

Portable Paddocks Increase Flexibility:

Starting with portable polywire instead of permanent interior divisions allows producers to adapt quickly and improve rotations efficiently.

Water Systems Matter—but Don’t Overbuild:

Strategic water placement is important, but cattle can walk farther than many producers assume.

Sunlight Harvesting Drives Profitability:

Maintaining adequate leaf area and plant residuals maximizes solar energy capture and pasture productivity.
