Grazing

Efficient grazing of forage is a key component in profitability of a ranching operation and is partly achieved by cattle consuming most of the plant species across the entire pasture.

“We abuse land because we see it as a commodity belonging to us. When we begin to see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”
