If he wants to come to Maine and teach a week long course for $150 I can write the check. I want all the class material also :D .

Is Alan Savory still with us? I have several friends who operate pretty successful operations who would recommend the course. I am thinking of going this spring. I went to the Ranching for Profit course and found it helpful. Especially the networking.

Alan still lectures in theUSA, Australia and S Africa, he is also running a new scheme in Kenya similar to the one in Zimbabwe. I would recommend the courses to anyone, I started with the rotational grazing in the 70's before the Holistic Management concept had been formulated, and have updated as the system has developed.

DONE :D i just walked in the door and i have a "imformation overload" type of feeling. :? all in all, probably the best time and money i've ever spent, aside from spending time with kids :wink: the coarse was Mon-Thurs., but also went back today because they brought in a group of ranchers from Lusk, WY area to talk about their experiences and that was very interesting aswell. as far as the highlights, you'll have to give me a day or so to jot it all down. my brain doesn't want to think about it anymore until tomorrow, it has been many years since i've spent 40 hours of a week in a classroom :wink:

i got many ideas running through my mind, the challenge now is to decide where to start. :? :???: :)

After you take a minute or two and organize all your new crayons and get your new pictures safely under a magnet on the fridge, let us know how it went! 10$ says he strayed outside a lot of lines. :wink: :D

The first step is to give us the highlights.
The second step will be gather data and apply the decision process to all ideas, :D

I think you'll agree that we keep bringing people in and it seems to be focused towards the beginner. Those of us wanting to go on to the next step of information feel a bit "starved." That's why I like the model of SGF conferences, they are very focused. When you try to meet everyones needs it's just too broad and you don't get enough details.

I went on Amazon last week and purchased
Holistic Management: A New Framework for Decision Making
and
Holistic Management Handbook: Healthy Land, Healthy Profits
 
After you take one your pretty eager to start just hard to know exactly where sometimes-the fellow that rights the HRM column in Cattleman ranches just north of us-they've been following the principles of it for many years and have done some incredible things on their ranch.
 
There are no cookie cutter plans to make rotational grazing and Holistic Management work just general principles and ideas. The biggest advantage of holistic management it gives you a different way of looking at things and a framework for decision making. We all must look at our resources and decide how to use them to meet our goals.

Ben read the Holistic Management a new framework for decision making first then the land planning,
