E16: Grazing with Dr. Jeff Goodwin

1 hour 2 minutes

Managing grass, cattle, and the land drives more of beef production than ever — and few people know it better than Dr. Jeff Goodwin.

In this episode of The Future of Beef Show, Dr. Goodwin breaks down why grazing management sits at the center of modern cattle production. From regenerative grazing and soil carbon to linking cattle genetics with pasture quality, he shows how planning, adaptability, and system-level thinking boost profitability while supporting long-term sustainability.

Whether you manage a small ranch or a large operation, these strategies demonstrate how smart grazing decisions can pay off for both the land and the bottom line.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why regenerative grazing isn’t slowing down — and what it means for producers

• How ecosystem services like soil carbon, water, and wildlife habitat follow good grazing practices

• The importance of system-level thinking: managing grass, cattle, and the environment together

• How planning and adaptability drive long-term success on ranches
