117. How to Make Custom Grazing Work 12 Months a Year — Steve Kenyon
How can custom grazing become a year-round business, even in the middle of an Alberta winter? In this episode, John Haskell talks with Steve Kenyon about his experience managing cattle through harsh Canadian winters and using winter grazing to create additional income while improving his land. Steve explains how custom grazing, bale grazing, swath grazing, and crop residue have allowed him to bring cattle onto his land without owning the herd, while also capturing the fertility and water-holding benefits of winter feeding.The conversation also gets into the practical side of winter grazing, including feeding cattle through deep snow and extreme cold, managing winter water, minimizing feed waste, and choosing the right quality of hay. Steve explains why he prefers bale grazing over simply unrolling hay when conditions allow, and how concentrating nutrients and organic matter on the soil can create benefits that extend well beyond the winter feeding period.Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

116. The Mindset That Separates Ranchers Who Win From Those Who Don't
What separates ranchers who win, those consistently finding opportunities, from those who get stuck when things go wrong? In this episode, John Haskell explores the problem of zero-sum thinking and how it can limit the way we see value, markets, and opportunity. He explains why someone else benefiting doesn't necessarily mean someone else has to lose, and how recognizing win-win opportunities can change the way you approach buying, selling, and making decisions in your ranch business.John also discusses the importance of contrarian thinking during times of crisis or major change, along with the mindset of looking for opportunities when conditions aren't going according to plan. Using examples from cattle markets, drought, and even jiu-jitsu, he explains why the ability to quickly move past setbacks, learn from experience, and keep looking for the next advantage can have a major impact over the course of a career.Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!In this episode, I cover:What zero-sum thinking is and why it can limit your ability to see opportunitiesHow value creation can create win-win situations for buyers and sellersWhy liquidity becomes especially valuable during droughts, market crashes, and other difficult situationsHow contrarian thinking can help you recognize opportunities during periods of major changeWhy it's important to keep looking for opportunities instead of dwelling on setbacks or missed opportunitiesWhy continuing education and learning from people who are successfully applying new ideas can have an incredibly high ROIConnect with Ranch Right:Subscribe on YouTube Follow on Instagram @ranchrightllc Follow on Facebook Check out the websiteCheck out all of our past webinars hereResources & Links:Book a Free Discovery Call to Learn More Ranching for Profit Ranching.FYI Wally Olson, Olson Ranch LLCMentioned in this episode:At Ranch Right, we help producers build clarity around cash flow, margins, and risk so the decisions we talk about on Ranchonomics actually work in the real world.
