The Grazing Grass Podcast features insights and stories of regenerative farming, specifically emphasizing grass-based livestock management. Our mission is to foster a community where grass farmers can share knowledge and experiences with one another. We delve into their transition to these practices, explore the ins and outs of their operations, and then move into the "Over Grazing" segment, which addresses specific challenges and learning opportunities. The episode rounds off with the "Famous Four" questions, designed to extract valuable wisdom and advice. Join us to gain practical tips and inspiration from the pioneers of regenerative grass farming. This is the podcast for you if you are trying to answer: What are regenerative farm practices? How to be grassfed? How do I graze other species of livestock? What's are ways to improve pasture and lower costs? What to sell direct to the consumer?

182. Fat Cows, Happy Plants: The Power of Total Grazing with Jaime Elizondo

In this episode of the Grazing Grass Podcast, Cal visits with Jaime Elizondo, known as Jim in the United States, to explore his Total Grazing Program. This is a comprehensive approach to regenerative ranching focused on lowering costs, improving soil, and increasing livestock performance. With decades of experience managing cattle in Mexico and the U.S., Jim shares his path from red cattle in the tropics to creating a composite breed suited for harsh environments. He breaks down the importance of African Bos taurus genetics, how to build soil carbon, and the strategies behind stockpiling and grazing timing. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how to manage grazing with nature, not against it.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • Jim’s story from Mexico to Texas and the foundation of his farm, Las Coloradas
  • His evolution from red cattle to developing an adapted composite breed
  • The significance of African Bos taurus genetics in hot, humid, and disease-prone environments
  • What the Total Grazing Program is and how it differs from ultra high-density grazing
  • How to build long-lived soil carbon and why it matters
  • Stockpiling strategies for winter and how to boost soil and forage health
  • Monitoring livestock performance with gut fill and body condition
  • The role of coaching and mentorship in successful grazing operations
  • Applying these grazing principles to cattle, sheep, and goats


 If you're interested in cutting input costs, improving soil, and raising animals that thrive in your environment, this episode delivers a practical and proven system. Jim offers clear guidance based on firsthand experience. Whether you're on a small farm or a large ranch, his insights can help you improve your land and your bottom line.
