Enjoying mouthwatering beef shouldn’t cost the planet.

Ranchers rely on grazing management plans to oversee the grass or cropland where their cattle graze. These plans are adaptable and ever-evolving, considering factors like rainfall, forage type, time of year and herd size to determine grazing duration in each area. This careful management not only enhances forage growth but also promotes healthier soil, ensuring land vitality for generations to come.

We’ve done our homework on how to forge a path for regenerative agriculture by working with scientists and conservationists. Our practices are carefully crafted to foster a symbiotic relationship with nature while always having access to pasture. See how our ranching families achieve this delicate balance across each ecosystem process.

Water Cycle

Healthy water cycles are nature’s hydration plan for plants, ensuring plant utilization, soil absorption and replenishment of underground water sources. Our grazing practices provide the most effective use of rain and irrigation water.

Energy Cycle

Plants are the foundation for all growth. They soak up sunlight and convert it into food. This enriches the soil and promotes the growth of better-quality grass for grazing animals. Plants can then release more energy into the ground, which increases soil health, promotes root growth and provides better forage.

Nutrient Cycle

Healthy nutrient cycles, which rely on a mix of diverse plants, soil cover and minimal tillage, set the stage for a flourishing ecosystem. We graze to create ground cover, minimize erosion and capture moisture, which ultimately moves nutrients through the cycle.

Biodiversity

A dynamic ecosystem is a thriving one. Our grazing practices promote the biodiversity of plants, enhance wildlife habitats and include rest periods to allow for plant recovery. We manage grazing for dense strands of perennial grasses.
