VIDEO: Winter Grazing in Florida with Jim Elizondo


Learn from regenerative grazing expert, Jim Elizondo as he explains how we are transforming the pastures at our Florida Living Web ranch. With the use of diverse cover crops, compost tea applications and high density rotational grazing, we have been able to help restore native insect populations like dung beetles and other wildlife while increasing organic matter in the soil to produce better forage year round. Jim also discusses high quality unusual forage crop options that can benefit any ranching operation.

  1. Jim, I really enjoyed your video and I have a suggestion for your Horn Fly infestation and that is applying Diatomaceous Earth to the animails coats. There's a lot of good information on the Internet concerning this product. Please review Pauly Piccirillo YouTube channel on how he uses Diatomaceous Earth on his goats and chickens. Not only will it control all insect problems, it will help add essential minerals back to your land when the rock dust falls off of the cows hides. Hope that this was helpful and I wish you the best!

  2. Geoff Lawton, of the permaculture fame, has a video which shows his milking cow passing under a roll of hessian soaked in neem oil. It is like a long sausage stung across the race (path), so his cows have no choice but to go under, and it deposits a little neem oil as it rubs down their spine.

    That is probably not a very good explanation, but I hope you get the idea of what I am trying to convey, as I thought it may be a possibility for you to adapt the idea to your situation. It was a way to treat the cows without having to apply yourself and it appeared to be cost effective.

  3. "Local bacteria" ? Is this a new kind of microbiological xenophobia ? Bacteria species are planetary beings. They are everywhere. There is no "local bacteria ".Period. Ask Dr David Johnson from NMSU.
