What’s the most critical factor affecting profitability in most livestock enterprises? Not weaning weight. Not price received! Not even the color of your cows!! It’s managing costs and specifically winter feed costs!!!

This new book follows up on Jim’s very popular MiG:Grassroots of Grazing to take you to the next level of getting in control of your operation with chapters on planning for winter grazing and a wide range of options for extending the grazing season
