51. Relationship Between Gross Product and Grazing Management with Travis Krause


Listen Later

In this episode, host John Haskell and guest Travis Krause discuss the relationship between gross product and grazing management. Travis is a new member of the Ranch Right team helping out on the consulting side, and he's here to talk about how whole ranch profitability ultimately ties back to some of those first decisions you make about running your cows.

John and Travis define gross product as the total economic value of livestock produced and explain how it impacts gross profit and net income. Travis emphasizes the importance of grazing management in balancing carrying capacity and stocking rate to optimize forage utilization and profitability. They also stress the importance of incremental steps in grazing management to avoid operational challenges and optimize where you can before considering buying new properties.
