Regenerative ranching has recently gained traction across the main stream media but the idea of using  livestock to mimic nature and managing a landscape holistically was largely led by Allan Savory from the 1980s. Rich Bradbury' parents attended the Savory Institute in the 1980's which was when he was first exposed to the holistic approach that Allan Savory brings to ranching.  I recently caught up with Rich to hear how this has impacted his thinking and the way he manages his ranch to this day.Send us a text

In the 1980's, when Valer Clark moved from the East Coast to a cattle ranch in the Chiricahua Mountains, she fell in love with the area. But she was dismayed at how overgrazed the grasslands were. While observing running water during a forceful monsoon rain, she noticed soil accumulate behind a small rock dam. She began building rock dams, called trincheras, in eroded areas. Her efforts eventually caught the attention of Arizona State University researchers who began to collaborate with her. In 2018, Valer founded the nonprofit Cuenca Los Ojos (CLO), a 121,000-acre protected, restored, and rewilded area that is once again home to jaguar, ocelot, black bears, beavers and a host of other threatened and endangered species. Valer, along with CLO's president Jeff Hampton, speaks with Russell and Alan about her work and Cuenca Los Ojo's current projects and future endeavors.

In today's episode we re-cap the takeaways from the 2-day grazing school I attended at Greg Judy's Green Pastures Farm in Clark, Missouri. The school was awesome, with great instruction from Greg and his co-instructor Abram Bowerman of Still Waters Farm in Spickard, MO. Intensively managed ruminant livestock are the tool for building soil rapidly, at scale over broad acre landscapes. The benefits are too numerous to enumerate here, but suffice to say if you have even a couple of acres, you need to get livestock on them and you need to move them. Anything less and it'll be like trying to homestead with one hand tied behind your back - so much more work or damn near impossible! When it comes to building a fertile, rich and productive soil bank, there is nothing that can compete with well-managed livestock. And building soil is fundamentally what sovereign homestead is all about. If you don't have living soil, you don't have many choices available to you.

In this episode of Ranching Reboot, we speak with Brian Firebaugh aka Cattleguy, a Marine who transitioned to ranching and embraced regenerative agriculture practices. Brian shares his insights on electric fencing, the power of social media in marketing grass-fed beef, and the importance of mentorship and support systems in the ranching industry. Topics covered in this episode include: Transitioning out of the Marine Corps and finding solace in ranching The therapeutic benefits of working with livestock The role of ecological profit and soil carbon in regenerative agriculture The fastest-growing niche in the food industry: grass-fed, hormone-free, antibiotic-free beef Starting a ranching business and the importance of diversifying income streams Intensive grazing and selecting the right breeds of cattle for your ranch Cattleguy on TikTok Brian F's Linktree with all other social links! ----------------------------- Visit Sea-90 at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.Sea-90.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or call us at (717) 580 - 1458 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Audubon Conservation Ranching!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy BoBoLinks Here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠One Earth Health Beef organ pills!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠RedHillsRancher.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Linktree Relevant hashtags: #RanchingReboot #RegenerativeAg #GrassFedBeef #VeteranRancher #SoilCarbon #SustainableFarming #IntensiveGrazing #ElectricFencing --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ranching-reboot/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ranching-reboot/support

In this episode, we dive into the world of rotational grazing, land management, and sustainable farming practices on a California ranch. We explore the journey of Dana Wilson and her family as they manage their forty-acre property with Highland cattle, meat goats, chickens, and ducks. We discuss the importance of water management and the challenges of managing different sized animals with electric fencing. We also talk about the benefits of goats and Highland cattle in browsing and land management, as well as the potential of agro-tourism as a way to diversify income streams and promote sustainable farming practices. Join us as we learn from Dana's experiences and insights in land management and livestock care, and explore the opportunities and challenges faced in providing grass-finished vintage beef and goat meat to a diverse market in California.

Jacob Wolki is an Australian entrepreneur and regenerative farmer. He started out in his family's record store, then moved to selling bicycles, and in 2019, went down the regenerative farming rabbit-hole, which he's now built into a rapidly growing full-time business. I first came across his work when he released a video which went viral, in which he showed how his un-staffed retail location worked. Many bitcoiners, including myself, are increasingly interested in the subject of regenerative farming/ranching, so I was excited to speak with someone who entered the space with no formal background, and has been successful in turning it into a career that is enjoyable, fulfilling, and lucrative. Jake appears to be an honest, hard-working, principled, and thoughtful guy, and it was a pleasure to get to get to know him and learn from him in this discussion.

Eyvy is a young Norwegian bitcoiner who, after hearing the stories of other bitcoiners who became interested and got involved in regenerative farming, decided to give up on his 'white collar' career and do the same. He has since bought some land and cattle, and begun his journey of learning how to raise and grow nutritious food, in a manner that is regenerative to the ecosystem, and both 'environmentally' and financially sustainable. This is a subject that myself, as well as many other bitcoiners are interested in, so I was very happy when Eyvy booked himself in to the show, so I could ask him all the questions I have about his experiences to this point, what he has learned, and how engaging in this kind of work has changed his perspective on many things.

Are you struggling to break free of convention and norms? Hear from Hugh Aljoe of the Noble Research Institute as he discusses how to fight this issue and better understand how the relationship between land-ecology, ranch-operations, and marketing can impact financial security. Factors like limited resources or opportunities on the land, just plain bad luck, or other issues can make it difficult to get by, but knowledge is power in this situation. Join us for this podcast episode and learn all about what Hugh has to say about these challenges and how we can take steps towards building an environment that not only encourages financial security but also helps to break down existing cycles of status-quo.

So says Eric Perner, cattle rancher, mechanical engineer, and co-founder of REP Provisions By working with nature (instead of against it), regenerative agriculture holds incredible promise for healing the planet while feeding our communities real food. Eric joins Russell and Alan to share the science, as well as his astounding personal experiences, behind this approach to maintaining healthy land and, as Alan Day likes to say, "happy grass."

Kevin Muno Jr. is a first generation rancher located in San Diego, California. Kevin's vision is to build deep topsoil and healthy grassland and provide his community with regenerative, grass-fed, grass-finished beef. In our conversation with Kevin, we discuss:* Taking responsibility* Farmers markets scams* Challenges of regenerative* Investing in your food security* Organ meats & nutrient density

We're told in the USA that we're so divided... yet if you go to any sort of normal event in the country, everyone's not really having a problem at all with each other. This work has taken me to a lot of different places including inner-city America and that has been different. I never would have done that otherwise and it has been a big eye-opener. It has really helped me to understand those environments and where people are coming from a lot better. - Peter Santenello  Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Is the grass really greener on the other side? True, authentic journalism - is it dead? These are just some of the many questions Peter helps us answer on this week's Wellness + Wisdom Podcast episode.  By the end of this episode, you will have a clear understanding of what and why major news networks aren't sharing, why seeing both sides of a current event is so important, and how to live life by the middle way. Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley Save 15% with the code 'JOSH' PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy. PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on. Listen To Episode 477 As Peter Santenello Uncovers: [1:30] Making Human Connections Across Borders Peter Santenello on YouTube Official Website of Peter Santenello How we interrelate to one another in the USA compared to in other countries, especially in relationships and marriage. The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R. Hawkins Peter's experience traveling the world and which cultures have been the hardest for him to understand. Why India is the most confusing, sensory overload place in the world to live according to Peter. The bad air quality in Kiev, Ukraine and how that affected Peter's health while living there compared to now in South Florida. How to build compassion for others by trying to understand life through their eyes. His rebellious side as a child and being the opposite of what other people expected. The close connection both Peter and Josh have to their Italian heritage. Peter's heart in helping people feel so comfortable when he speaks to them to learn about their life and culture in another country. His favorite places that he visited and why people in the USA found them so surprising based on our conditioning. [14:35] The Truth About Division in the USA Why we have lost the art of listening in our modern world. What Peter's work has taught him about life and how he has become so much less judgemental because of it. Why his Ukrainian wife loves Americana things so much from cowboy hats and pickup trucks to Monster Jam. Their Monster Jam experience and why it surprised him so much to see people of all different backgrounds attending the event. Peter's experience not seeing people divided at all in the USA despite the mass media narrative. His experience visiting inner cities in the USA and speaking to people who live there. How Peter emotionally regulates himself when he experiences different mindsets and cultures, especially with how they treat women or have a caste system. [17:00] The Grass Isn't Always Greener Outside the USA How to know the right moment to speak up and take action for injustice compared to realizing that it's not our place, especially in different countries and cultures. What Josh and Peter are grateful for having in the USA plus taking a deeper look at what we all can be appreciative for in our lives here. Peter's "the grass is always greener" mindset when comparing his life living in other countries to that in the USA and why he doesn't think like that anymore. Why Peter is focusing so much on giving back to the USA making films here and highlighting the culture we have including his current production project about ranches. What Peter is learning about regenerative ranching with his new series. 458 Taylor Collins + Robby Sansom | Omnivorous Truth: Bill Gates, Synthetic Meat, Vegan Lies + Healing with Regenerative Ranching [23:00] Mass Media's Agenda + What They're Not Sharing The 3-5 topics that the mass media hammers on and what they're not sharing, what's actually beneficial, that they should be. Peter's passion for sharing the stories that the mass media doesn't. Why the mass media only focuses on topics that are triggering and that will bring in more money. His choice not to tune into the US news at all during the 4 years that he wasn't in the country during the Trump years. Peter's work struggles over the years trying to figure out how to get his business off of the ground and what he would do with his life. The app idea that he had to connect different people with common interests while traveling. His and his wife's decision to move to the USA rather than Italy from Ukraine and why that decision has been such a good one for them. Why so much of the news that the mass media platforms put out there are just 1-sided and why that's not a good thing. How the concern about the US-Mexico border has gone away because news outlets simply are not reporting on it anymore. [28:20] Is True, Authentic Journalism Dead?  The call for better, more investigative journalism which takes money, resources, and a big institution because no solo content creator or small team can do it on their own. Why Peter always shares multiple angles of an issue to present all sides of the story even if it's something that he doesn't agree with. How he presents his view of things to someone so that they can see and understand where he is coming from. Stories of his time living and filming abroad where he felt in danger or something bad happened to them. Why he thinks his audience are so attracted to his content compared to other news media outlets. [35:00] How to Find Your Spark Documentary - Finding Joe Why it took Peter a while to find his spark or purpose and what helped lead him to it. His dream to travel and know the world since he didn't do a lot of that growing up. Why right now he's enjoining slowing down and taking in what's around him while also focusing on telling stories from people in different areas and situations in the US. How one of his classmates went on to live his childhood dreams as an adult by being able to do something that truly brought him joy growing up. What Peter says or does to give compassion to those who leave negative comments on his YouTube channel or in person. His surprise that someone like Jordan Peterson still gets triggered by negative comments when Peter himself doesn't care anymore. Exploring the current political gaslighting that we are seeing in the USA today. Why it's a plus for Americans that our country is so young yet compared to other countries like in Europe for Peter's example. How Peter's love for San Francisco has shifted after living in Ukraine for years. [50:00] The Laws of Nature + How Structure Creates Flow for Life Peter's experience with Ayahuasca and how that helped him stop drinking alcohol seven years ago plus help him understand his identity, personality type, and purpose better. 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines? Wisdom on Microdosing, The Muscle of Faith + How to Grow Your Spiritual Strength Alan Watts - The Principle Of Not Forcing The importance of coming back home to self and be grounded again. How even just going to the supermarket in San Francisco was so heavy for Peter compared to his experience in Florida now. What inspires Peter to share his work with a middle point of view rather than just one side over the other. Examples of how his investigative journalism has shifted his point of view on certain topics that he was biased about before talking to people. Why his YouTube channel isn't a political one but one that looks closer at human condition issues. Sam Harris The fact that 90% of truth is actually subjective. Scientists shed light on ‘seeing' through others' eyes How Peter would define a life well lived. The importance of staying with your 'rascality' as Alan Watts would say but within a healthy balance to help you stay in the middle way. Power Quotes From The Show What Story Are You Being Fed? "There are some great journalists out there but as far as mainstream media, you know exactly what you're going to get in any topic. If it's the border, if you watch FOX or CNN, you know the story they're going to tell you with either one. With any current issue, you know exactly what's going to be delivered." - Peter Santenello On a Mission for Truth "Right now with the space that we're in with politics with our two parties, Republican and Democrat, there are usually about five main issues and if you fall out of line with one them, you're going to get ostracized quickly. If I go film at the Mexican border right now, I'll be called a Trumper -people will say, 'Oh! You're going to the border, you must be a Trump supporter.' But then if I go do a docu-series about Muslims in America, all of a sudden I'm like a 'woke' guy. I'm just interested in the story and the truth; I don't really fit into either of the categories." - Peter Santenello How to Make a Difference in the World "I think putting forth your best effort and, personally for me, exploring the human condition as much as I can and adding to the world in a positive way is the way to live life. My mission is to put out content that after watching it makes a person go, 'Oh cool, I see this issue a different way now,' or 'This has left me in a better mood.' We're all gravitated toward certain news clips we come across on YouTube or social media and we want to watch them but afterward, they leave us off in a worse place energetically than before watching them. My goal is to be the opposite of that for people." - Peter Santenello Links From Today's Show  Peter Santenello on YouTube Official Website of Peter Santenello The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David R.

Taylor joins us on this week's episode to discuss the benefits of regenerative farming and ranching, and how they are hoping to change much more that the soil on the land that they work with, and how we as consumers can support regenerative practices and farmers who make it their goal to raise plants and animals cleanly and ethically.

Consumers are eating exactly what they're told, how they're told, where they're told, not asking questions and just showing up to the register, voting and supporting a system that actually is continuing to ensure and perpetuate that they will eat unhealthy food. We're going to do our part at Roam Ranch and Force of Nature which is to fix the broken food system but we need help. - Robby Sansom + Taylor Collins Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Use code "JOSH" for 10% off your first order Force of Nature is on a mission to improve our environment and health through regenerative agriculture while answering the community's call for food raised in a way that truly aligns with their values. The term “regenerative” means that the agriculture systems in which this food was raised honor the systems within Mother Nature. We care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs. That means no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces. The result is what you expect. Disrupting the Big Food Industry We spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community's call to launch Force of Nature. Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Our mission is to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, to justify our supplier partners' efforts on the land, and to offer consumers the awareness and the ability to vote for a system that aligns with their values. By reclaiming the legacy of meat, we will benefit all stakeholders of the planet and restore regenerative principles to their rightful place as the keystone to our agricultural system. Regenerative Farming is Better Meat that is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed. Animals that are raised with honor in their respected natural environments, eating foods they are supposed to eat. A quality of life for ranchers and their communities that has been lacking for decades in the conventional system. A proven solution to our climate challenges with the power to sequester carbon and prevent many of the environmental disasters we face today.

Our indirect participation in animal agriculture and the importance of voting with our wallet. How to end an animal's life in the most humane way possible and how that energy becomes absorbed by the meat compared to CAFOs.

How Force of Nature's mission is in alignment to act as stewards of the land and honor these animals. CAFO's negative impact on not only animals but also communities as it focuses more on agro-business than it does on agriculture. Earl Butz The dark history of the agriculture industry and the moment it shifted with the USDA during the mid-1900s. Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey and Rajendra Sisodia Their experience of several companies coming to them and wanting to purchase EPIC Provisions for all the wrong reasons.

[29:20] The Actual Cost of Buying Meat & Poultry Why feeding their children natural, clean food is the most important thing for them. Fertility issues that are becoming more and more evident due to the pollution in our environment. Why eating meat or poultry doesn't actually cost more money: breaking down the difference between perceived and real costs. The devastating impact of polluting and poisoning our natural resources and the cost of that on our future as we witness more scarcity and less stability. Breaking down the impact of Bill Gates becoming the largest private farmland owner in the USA. The real costs of eating low-cost junk and CAFO food compared to the natural regenerative and healthy products that our bodies actually crave and need. Why each of us has the responsibility to choose how we spend our money and whether or not we want to consciously live a healthier lifestyle. [43:20] Omnivorous Truth: Bill Gates + Synthetic Meat The fact that Bill Gates recently became the largest private farmland owner in the United States. The constant flow of money from both the left and right sides to keep Big Food doing what they're doing. Why it's so vital for consumers to become independent thinkers and stop the myths and lies they've been told to about food. Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce puts massive farmland holdings in focus The biggest lies that people are being told about food and the real cost of what they're buying from big brands. Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why? The truth about influencers like the Kardashians and the fact that they are being paid millions of dollars to promote fake meat to their audience. Bill Gates' purchase of North Dakota farmland has locals ‘livid': official Honest statistics that only 1% of the American population has actually gone to a farm directly to purchase their produce and/or meat. The dark side of the plant-based focused food industry. Unpacking the devastating impact of tilling farmland for canola, soy, and other industrial crops for animals such as baby deer, birds, snakes, and more. [51:30] Healing with Regenerative Ranching The Life Cycle assessment they did on the cradle to grave carbon cycle impact in regenerative agriculture. What the plant industry's carbon impact from farming to products like the Impossible Burger actually is compared to traditional farming and a regenerative beef burger. Why carbon is not the enemy but we have broken the carbon cycle and that is what is harming our environment. What we need to do to help heal our soils and create greater biodiversity to help improve the cycle carbon and allow the planet to thrive again. The deep emotional distress that many farmers are going through that even some have committed suicide because of the impact of private owners like Bill Gates buying their farmland. Force of Nature's mission to grow an abundance of hope for farmers and replace the current vicious cycle with a more virtuous one. The fact that the number of American farmers committing suicide is higher than veterans who return from war. How people can get started supporting local farmers and regenerative ranching today. [1:00:00] The Detrimental Effects of Veganism 349 Ronnie Landis | Rethinking Veganism: The 10 Year Journey Back Home The detrimental effects of veganism, as experienced firsthand by Taylor and his wife, who experienced numerous health issues before adding meat back into her diet. Why they previously thought a raw food diet and juices were going to help them heal but their health actually became worse as time went on. The different products they currently sell at Force of Nature and why beef sticks or meat snacks are not in their plans for the present and near future. How to stick true to your values and adapt despite inflation and recession to stay true and aligned with yourself. The cost we all pay when we stop focusing on self-care and loving ourselves through daily wellness practices. What they're most excited about with this new awakening post-COVID for farmers and communities. How to live life well according to Taylor and Robby. Upcoming events at Force of Nature and Roam to help connect people. Power Quotes From The Show Omnivorous Truth: Starving with Our Bellings Full "As a culture, as a species, we are starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity, and children are dying. That is why we should all be caring and having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon." - Taylor Collins Revealing Food Industry Lies "Big Food, Big Agriculture, Big Oil, Big Chemical, and Big Pharma are all tied together in our food system and they support the left side party, the right side party, and all that flow of money says, 'Don't mess up this machine.' If you look at what's going on with social media and the internet as they try to censor conversations, we need consumers to break out of their mold and become independent thinkers to stop allowing themselves to perpetuate the myths and the lies that they have been fed for years and to look at what's really happening in the food industry. A value meal at Chic-fil-A is more expensive than buying regenerative protein and whole vegetables to make a meal together as a family." - Robby Sansom Healing with Regenerative Ranching "If my wife was still vegan today she would either be dead or in a wheelchair. We ditched the vegan diet and began to eat in an evolutionary consistent manner. Within days, years of symptoms we had just went away." - Taylor Collins Links From Today's Show  Taylor Collins Robby Sansom Where Hope Grows Podcast EPIC Provisions: How This Husband + Wife Went From Being Vegan To Starting A Meat-Based Snack Brand These Founders Sold Their Food Company for a Reported $100 Million.

Started by first generation farmers, Katie and Taylor's journey into ranching was based on a vision to positively impact large-scale agriculture through producing nourishing food that improves the lives of animals, enriches the health of consumers, and regenerates the land on which we depend. Like much of the world, this once-fertile region has been industrially farmed for the past 100 years. Through persistent tilling of soil, planting of monoculture row crops, and overgrazing, ROAM Ranch was not capable of producing food upon its purchase. Land in this condition is often deemed "unsalvageable" and in many circumstances further degenerates with rest- but we are going to prove otherwise. Force of Nature Meats partners with regenerative ranchers to bring you the best meat on the planet, for the planet.  With the intention to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Never before has a company founded in the principles of regenerative agriculture curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Force of Nature now exists to give consumers the ability to vote for environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is actually good for the planet.

This week I'm chatting with Donna Kilpatrick from Heifer International, a global nonprofit working to eradicate poverty and hunger through sustainable, values-based holistic community development. Heifer International was kind enough to sponsor this interview with Donna. In our interview today, Donna and I will talk about her background and start with Heifer International, what regenerative farming practice looks like at the ranch, how we can balance sustainability while also trying to feed the world and her corgi that she is training to be a cattle dog.   Heifer International Website Learn more at our website: https://thefarmtraveler.com/ And be sure to follow us on social media! https://www.instagram.com/farm_traveler/ https://www.facebook.com/TheFarmTraveler https://www.youtube.com/farmtraveler Subscribe here: https://podkite.link/FarmTraveler Farm Traveler is part of the Waypoint Outdoor Collective, the Podcast Network for the Outdoors-man.

I can't believe spring is here and how incredible this weather has been. Everything is starting to bloom, and it's just gorgeous. Speaking of seasons, I have been looking forward to sharing this interview with Marshall Seedorff since visiting with him in the fall. Marshall is the VP of Sales for Force of Nature, which is a regenerative focused meat company that works with different farms and ranches to provide nutrient-rich food that not only feeds consumers but the environment as well. I was lucky enough to meet with Marshall at Roam Ranch, which is actually owned by two of the three co-founders of Force of Nature, Taylor and Katie. They specialize in raising grass fed and free range bison, turkey, chicken and ducks year round. It was incredible to see and photograph the bison herd and learn all about their regenerative practices. And all I have to say is if you aren't hungry now before listening to this episode, you will most likely be craving a bison burger after. And if you are hungry now, well good luck to you.

Sustainability is a big focus right now, from the White House to rural America. In the beef industry, sustainability takes place at the ranch management level - literally in the grassroots.

Ranchers are true stewards of the land and have been caring for their resources and livestock from the beginning. However, there is more that can be done and we have been hearing the words regenerative agriculture for some time now.  In this episode, Steve Rhines and Hugh Aljoe with the Noble Research Institute share their knowledge and experience with regenerative ranching practices. They explain what it is, why it will be a huge part of ranching now and in the future, and what it looks like for different producers.  Listen on your favorite podcast app and find a link to the transcript and all other episodes on https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Video: https://youtu.be/wu7AXP8HAZM Transcript: {Intro Music}.   Shaye Koester  0:08   Hey, hey it's Shaye Koester and I'm your host for the Casual Cattle Conversations podcast where we foster innovation and enthusiasm in the ranching industry through sharing the stories and practices of different ranchers and beef industry leaders.

It's great to have you on here again. If you're a new listener, welcome to the show. Today we are going to be discussing regenerative ranching. So I brought on two experts from the Noble Research Institute in Oklahoma. Today, visiting with me on the show is Steven Rhines, and Hugh Aljoe. These two individuals truly possess the background, knowledge and experience to explain what regenerative ranching is and why it's important to your operation, whether that is that relates to profitability, the ability to pass your land down to the next generation, or really just looking at your soil health and quality right now. This is a topic that I truly believe is important and we always need to continue improving our stewardship. We are already great stewards of the land, but we can always continue to improve. I think these two individuals do a tremendous job of explaining the topic of regenerative agriculture and providing some tips and advice on what practices you can look at maybe implementing now and how they will impact your operation. So with that, let's get on with the episode.    Steve Rhines  2:01   Hi Shaye, how are you?    Shaye Koester  3:11   Oh, I can't complain. I'm doing pretty good.    Steve Rhines  3:14   It's good to see you again.    Shaye Koester  3:15   Yeah, it's been a couple years.    Hi, Hugh. Thanks for hopping on. I'm Shaye. It's nice to meet you. I appreciate you joining me for this.    Hugh Aljoe  3:24   Oh, you bet. Glad to do it. Glad to do it.    Shaye Koester  3:28   Well, with that would one of you or both of you please provide a brief background on the history of Noble Research Institute.   Steve Rhines  3:38   I'd be happy to do that. Noble Research Institute is 75 years old this year. We were formed in 1945 by an oilman philanthropist by the name of Lloyd Noble. He had grown up in this part of the country, and he had seen the consequences of manmade disaster. So we mined the earth pretty extensively, using cotton, as as a monoculture with doing very little to put back into the land. And the idea was land was so cheap. And honestly, it probably wasn't a regular practice at the time, you just took what you needed. And Ardmore the town that we're located in was one of the largest cotton-producing centers in the world for a short period of time. Probably what would happen is the combination of weather will so we're at the tail end of the dustbowl, at this time, and the kind of combination of how we manage the land resulted in a lot of degradative and abandoned land. So people would just move on to something because land was so cheap, and it was really easy for them to stake. About 25 miles from here. They discovered one of the largest domestic findings of oil, and Mr. Noble was a part of that and so he gained his wealth not by inheriting it, but actually working for it and creating two companies by the name of Noble Energy, and Noble Corp. and recently noble energy was just acquired by Chevron, which is one of his legacy companies. But when he started the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, which was named after his father, originally, he set it up for the sole purpose of working with farmers and ranchers to build up the soil. And so they started with doing very simple things like a soil test, to give you the information on what to add back after a growing season, and after harvest, and so, we've progressed on for 75 years, we've done a variety of different things in between. We have always worked with farmers and ranchers, we have always conducted research in one form or another. And we've always effectively tried to work and educate producers on mass, but we've usually done it in a much smaller footprint like Southern Oklahoma and North Texas. In 2019, I took over this position after being here about 18 years. And so we began having a conversation with the board, having a conversation internally, looking at what we should be doing. And what we decided to do is transition into regenerative ranching, which would focus on what Mr. Noble asked us to do when he started us. It also the idea that we should be a national organization and not limited in a geographic footprint. So this board of ours, which still represents probably three quarters, either direct descendants or their spouses have been incredibly engaged throughout this process are committed to following the founders direction. And what we've we've done is, is begin to transition into regenerative ranching.   Shaye Koester  6:47   Well, that is awesome. And thank you for offering that history. So now on a more personal scale, would each of you offer insight on what your backgrounds' in agriculture are?   Hugh Aljoe  7:01   All right. Well, my background is, ya know, I grew up in West Texas on a family farm, I went to A&M and got a couple of degrees there and was hired right out of school to work for an international businessman running a cattle operation in East Texas. I did that for 10 years. We did you know a lot of say intensive rotational grazing, tried to try to be as progressive as we could with you know, with the land as well as trying to try to run as many cattle as you could just because the businessman, that was one of his objectives. So you know, we were able to grow the operation to about 1400 cows. From there, I was hired here as a pasture range consultant 25 years ago, been here ever since. I'm primarily working with people on pasture and range issues. In particular, grazing management has been kind of my forte. The last few years, I've been the director of the producer relations, which is our consulting efforts as well as overseeing the range operations here at Noble.    Shaye Koester  8:10   Well, awesome, thank you. How about you, Steve,   Steve Rhines  8:13   Not quite as extensive. I grew up on a very small cow-calf operation. By small I mean, probably a dozen mama cows. My grandfather had upwards of the high 80s. The challenge was, I didn't really care for the state of Oklahoma or cattle when I was a kid and I thought a lot of good opportunities go. I saw myself being in a city and being an engineer. And, that's what I chased in school. So I went to school to become a mechanical engineer and work in the aerospace industry, went on to law school, and then found myself in Ardmore, Oklahoma. So as fate would have it, it's not my choice. It was somebody else's choice and we wound up here and fell in love again with the state. I couldn't be happier to be involved with farming and ranching and cattle production. So it was an underlying calling, which I just didn't appreciate for the better part of my life.   Shaye Koester  9:11   Well, I'm glad you had the chance to come back and live that out then. So with that regenerative ag is it's a buzzword and there's a lot that can fall into it. So how would you describe regenerative agriculture within the ranching space?   Hugh Aljoe  9:31   Well you know if we look at regenerative ranching, which is the term that we've coined because our focus is going to be around grazing lands, this would be the process of restoring degraded grazing lands using practices based on ecological principles. And what we really want to be able to do is take some of the practices that we've known to be part of what we'd consider good stewardship and apply them more intentionally in order to focus on restoring you know, the ecological process. Particularly the water cycle, the mineral cycle, energy cycle as well as community dynamics, just being sure that we're helping Mother Nature do what she does really well. So what do some of these practices look like, you know, surprisingly to some people is that they look a whole lot like what we're doing when we're trying to apply good, you know, good land stewardship to begin with, we're actually planning for rest and recovery of our pasture land or grasses to grow up before they're actually grazed. Providing the recovery that the plants need, so that we get more photosynthetic activity and, as a result get more biological activity below the surface. Because as the roots grow, so do the associations with the organisms in the soil, in able to be no-till some of the cover crops that we're looking at as diverse mixtures, planting into areas that would have been cropland that have been grazed year after year, trying to minimize the need, reduce drastically the need for things like fertilizer and pesticide, and what we're seeing is we can increase our stock density and grazing affects, you know, a lot of those things we consider problems sort of disappear. They're taking care of them as we're going through our proper management. Those are some examples. Anything else you'd like to add?   Steve Rhines  11:27   No. I think simply, one of the things that we've looked at is making soil a partner in our operation, I think a lot of times, we just use it to either hold the animals up, or serve as a medium for plants to grow. But it's actually thinking a little bit about how we manage that as the entire system as he talked about. So I've got nothing further to add.   Shaye Koester  11:47   So when we look at ranching on the business side, what are the main benefits there that ranchers see from adopting some of these practices,   Hugh Aljoe  11:57   The main benefit that producers have when they begin adopting these practices, is that one, they have reduced the need for some of the inputs that they routinely apply such as chemicals and fertilizer. They also find that, that they begin to work with Mother Nature. You are actually working and using whatever is provided grazing for us, in many instances, trampling some of the materials in order to actually feed organisms within the soil, things that that most people haven't up to this point really considered animals that we need to be feeding. You know, and those organisms within the soil, really begin to add the biology and add to the biology, improving those ecosystem processes that we spoke of early on. I think that's the biggest benefit too is that another benefit is that you also because you're not putting these inputs, you're seeing an extreme reduction in some of the costs that they've used to support their operations. And they're not losing very much of the production, in most cases, whatever they might have seen early on is recovered within a very short period of time.   Shaye Koester  13:04   Well, thank you for sharing that. Steve, do you have anything else to add?   Steve Rhines  13:09   I think one of the interesting things is a lot of the pastures look a little different than what they might otherwise look like. In this part of the country look at monoculture. Bermuda grass is our primary warm-season grass, and tend to what you see here is a little bit of a different mix as we actually worked to incorporate forbs legumes into the pasture. And so and my father is one of them. He'll talk about the weediness and how is he going to manage the weeds and what you see in this managed grazing setup, is you intensely graze smaller paddocks and you actually suppress a lot of the weed problems, because the animals find them into their diet, and so they aren't selective anymore, which is exactly the way I eat at a buffet. I'm not allowed to do that anymore. I'm forced in one capacity or another to graze everything equally and as a consequence, a lot of the activities that we've otherwise known becomes unnecessary as Hugh was mentioning.   Shaye Koester  14:08   Okay, so overall, when we're talking ROI, would you say it's there for these practices?   Hugh Aljoe  14:15   Most definitely, I mean, that's, that's what were some of the questions is, what's the cost on the infrastructure, and really refers to make good use of what you already have. That's where we need to start when most people should start to buy themselves just a little bit of time understanding and trying to learn what regenerative ranching is about. Understand the ecosystem processes as well as the soil health principles. What are we really trying to use and once you get a little practice at applying grazing management, maybe using cover crops to some degree, you really begin to get a feel for what you're trying to accomplish. At that point, then you can come in with a plan in order to phase in what you need to, so it's not as if it's an, what I would call them,  extreme inconvenience or financial burden in order to get started.    Shaye Koester  15:08   Go ahead, Steve,   Steve Rhines  15:09   I will add the idea that that that is really one of the focal points of our research at the Noble Research Institute is to begin to look at these economic issues. We have roughly 14,000 acres worth of land that's, that's located in the southernmost part of Oklahoma. That's only one geographic reference. It's got a lot of different soil types, it's got a lot of different production value. But the idea is what we need to begin to do is across a larger footprint, do this research to begin to answer a lot of the questions that you just posed. There are different mechanisms. Some people are going to go all in, and that's going to have a certain perhaps infrastructure valuation that they need to be able to put in whether it's water, or portable water, what are those different options? That's what noble needs to be able to do. Historically, we've done this in conventional agriculture is we take a little bit of that risk away from the producer by doing some of that research and then demonstrating on our own lands, we're going to continue to do that as we go forward in this direction.   Shaye Koester  16:12   Awesome. Well, so Hugh mentioned, you know, producers need to kind of do some research and figure out, you know, what might work best for their operation and gain a better understanding of what regenerative ranching really is? Where can they go for this information, and these contact points to make sure they're getting the right information?   Hugh Aljoe  16:32   Well, as we look, look out there, here at Noble what we're looking at is trying to find people that have been in the regenerative ranching circles and learning from them to begin with. Then also in a very short period of time, we're hoping to be able to transfer a lot of that information through our own internet, our own website, and our own educational venues. There are entities such as Understanding Ag, the savory and Holistic Management organizations, Ranching for Profit and so these are some of the leaders within the regenerative ranching community that we're gleaning from, and we're happy to be learning from them as well.   Shaye Koester  17:10   Well, thank you for sharing that. So when we look at producers, as they start to implement these practices, as you've worked with producers, or seen some of their operations, what are some of the challenges they may initially face.   Hugh Aljoe  17:28   One of the big challenges is making sure that they have a good partner to guide them through, you know, the steps that are going to be necessary in order to have early success, We want to make sure that people have the opportunity to have early wins and if you're partnering with the right people, it makes it really easy. But you know, we want to be able to serve as guides, to those entities and where we've had people that have had the success, that's where they come back. So it's been the most rewarding for me is where to get started, how to start using the resources that they already have. It doesn't mean that for most people, if you see it every day, he may not understand or value what you really have. And when you've got somebody on the outside coming in, and making suggestions, then they have the buy in order to take it and run it. Rather thoughts through us, we provide a little bit of critique and do they implement their, their thoughts and our suggestions or recommendations.   Shaye Koester  18:26   Thank you.    Steve Rhines  18:27   I think another part of that, too, is as that as this grows, it's going to be critically important and it's an extension of what Hugh was mentioning just then it's going to be important to connect each Farmer and Rancher to a like community. We know farmers and ranchers. They're social people. They like to engage, whether it's over at the coffee shop or the donut shop, or if it's a church, you'd like to share what you're doing, you'd like to get that other idea, maybe it's just looking across the fence. But we think that that's a critical piece of this as we go forward is to be able to put these communities together and they can't be we know for a fact that they cannot stretch over large geographies, because of the differences in operations, the difference in soil, the difference in the climate. So the challenge becomes is building these networks close to home so you can relate to your neighbor and what they're going through and see it in your own operation.   Shaye Koester  19:28   Well, absolutely, you know, it is very valuable to have those people who are close to you kind of seeing some things, seeing some of the things but also having an outside look at your own place too. What would you say the future of ranching looks like then with these regenerative practices?   Steve Rhines  19:49   Well, we hope our goal is we get a new toolkit for where we're going to go I mean, we know for a fact. So before the call started you and I talked a little bit about working with Dr. Tom field at the University of Nebraska. He was an integral part of our discussions as we strategically planned and where should Noble fit and how does it relate to its history. One of the projects he asked for, that we asked him to do is to look into what's gonna compromise the viability of ranching in the United States as we look into the future. And he really came up with three points, and they're not magic to them. They're just once you hear them, you're like, yeah, I get that. And that's basically, soil productivity in the face of climate variability. The nation's or the producers level of debt, it's at an all-time high, it stretches across all agricultural sectors, it's not limited to ranching it, it is unbelievable. I believe it was in 2015 when we began to exceed $400 billion and it's only grown since 2015. And then the last, this lack of a pipeline, into the future of new people coming into ranching, coming into agriculture, to support this heritage industry for the United States. So if you begin to look at those three areas, any one of them is completely overwhelming, all three of them together is amazing. And so what our role is, is to begin to figure out, how is it that we can connect those dots begin to come up with a set of tools to manage the climate variability and soil productivity, to work on the economics of any operations to ensure that someone who wants to stay on the land can. But there's a second story to that, if I only make enough to get by year to year, what's the first thing I go after, and that's long-term thinking. So we know regenerative ranching, regenerative agriculture requires a long time, a long thought process, a long term planning process, we can't have operations live month to month, year to year, because they can't do that long term planning. And then that last piece really looks at that next generation. And it's the generation that's currently in university, it's also probably that next generation that that sets behind where you are in your own progress. And, and that is a generation that may have a connection to the land, but they also need to be thinking about ranching, or agriculture in a new light. And so as we see these new, and I hate to call them trends, because I think they're starting to eclipse trends, but localized food, knowing where my food comes from being comfortable with the idea that I not only know where it was raised but maybe where it was processed. And so as we get into those ideas, can we build an agricultural system behind that to support and help alleviate these three obstacles to the future of ranching viability?   Shaye Koester  23:02   Well, that was amazing to hear. And thank you for sharing that there was so much I value in that statement, especially when you do look at the long-term picture. And yes, making sure that we as producers are doing everything we can when we get to have a fully traceable product within the United States. So with that, you two have done a very good job answering all the questions I had, do you have anything else you would like to add? Whether that's about regenerative ranching, ranching in general or Noble?   Steve Rhines  23:35   I would just say that, and Hugh touched on it earlier. We don't pretend to believe that we're the only ones in this space. Just like agriculture, and just like I would, for the most part, I would say the nonprofit world that that Noble belongs to. It's an unbelievably generous space. And so we've worked really closely with Understanding Ag, Dr. Alan Williams, Gabe Brown, Doug Peterson, Shane, and a lot of those folks have poured into the Noble Research Institute and its employees that to help bring us along. We're also working with savory we're also working with Ranching for Profit. These people have really been the pioneers and in this space, and so we believe that we can complement them. There's a lot of things that Noble can do. A lot of the questions you raised are critical questions to the future of regenerative ranching. And that's the economics. That's the practices built on principles. And then mostly it's farmer and rancher education. We know for a fact that it's going to be a bit of a challenge because many of us grew up in a certain mindset on what ranching looks like, what my pasture should look like, what I do in May of every year, some of those are really big challenges to overcome but the burden is on Noble and these other organizations to continue to work ahead and help answer these questions for farmers and ranchers. Because for the most part, what we're working for is the underlying land. And a lot of people ask the question initially when we were making this transition, but the idea of how big is the grazing land challenge in the United States, 655 million acres, it's the single largest land use of anything in the United States. So when we talk about water quality, water quantity, almost every raindrop passes at one point or another across rangeland. So if we're not doing everything we can to sustain its health bring its health up, then we're missing an opportunity there with the waterside, new markets with regard to carbon, we're not going to explore those, but we should be incredibly versed and how that impacts farmers and ranchers in everything that we're doing, whether it is how you tend to the soil, or ultimately how you measure your progress is going to lend itself to that potential revenue source for farmers and ranchers in the future.   Hugh Aljoe  26:09   I think you know, when you look at Noble Research Institute, you know, research is in our name, you know, we are here to answer the producer questions. And that's what our objective is using our resources in order to make sure that we're always answering the questions that producers might have, helping them move toward a better, more regenerative state, as early and as quickly as possible. And through that, with financial soundness at the same time.   Shaye Koester  26:36   Well, thank you very much. I really appreciate everything you both had to offer and taking the time out of your day to be on the show.    Steve Rhines  26:44   Thank you.    Hugh Aljoe  26:45   It's been a pleasure. Thank you very much.    Shaye Koester  26:47   And that's a wrap on that one, folks. Thank you, again, for tuning in. If you got something out of this podcast episode that really hit home for you, or you maybe you have a deeper question that wasn't covered, please go drop that in the comment section of my social media posts. There's a post for this episode, as well as a post before it was published. And there will be a post a couple days after as well. So any of those options, please go drop that question or comment about the episode so that we can have a conversation about it, as well as bringing in the rest of my fans to see what we all think about that as we work to combat some of the challenges that we faced with ranching, or maybe trying to open each other's minds to new ideas and new methods. With that, thank you to Steven and Hugh, for sharing your stories and your expertise on this show. I know I really appreciated it. It really got my mind turning about maybe some things to change or what does the future of ranching really look like? So with that, thank you again, and thank you for listening, and I hope to catch you on the next one.    Red Angus Association of America  28:03   Profit. Repeat. With Red Angus genetics.  Red Angus, the industry's most-favored female, generates repeated profits for commercial cow-calf producers.  Independent research from a decade of data collection showed Red Angus-sired heifers commanded sixty-six dollars per head more than females of other breed types.  That's nearly five-thousand, three hundred dollars on a single load of replacement heifers. A true boost to profits on your operation!  Why are Red Angus females the most-favored? Their strong maternal characteristics and quiet dispositions top the list. They are also productive, low maintenance and efficient. In short, they do their job and do it well.  Visit RedAngus.org for more information on the industry's most-favored female.   Transcribed by https://otter.ai Resources:  https://redangus.org/   https://www.noble.org/about/?utm_term=%2Bnoble%20%2Bresearch%20%2Binstitute&utm_campaign=National+-+Consumer&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=7474336878&hsa_cam=10697792127&hsa_grp=106343093935&hsa_ad=454272569887&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-934911811908&hsa_kw=%2Bnoble%20%2Bresearch%20%2Binstitute&hsa_mt=b&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=CjwKCAjwybyJBhBwEiwAvz4G7_mDkbwg-s5QPFhVGlfw_rY6I3HyyFSmJYZuLRT5aL5-ozPDThJ2sRoCoeoQAvD_BwE   Audio: https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/episodes Partner: https://forms.gle/VnkrkbfB3m4MFgip7 Patron: https://patron.podbean.com/casualcattleconversations Website: casualcattleconversations.com Cowboss Conversations: https://www.podbean.com/premium-podcast/cowbossconversations

Carbon is often seen as a dirty word when it comes to the desire to save the planet but what if we could utilize that source to create a cohesive environment from the soil to the animals we eat and the air we breathe? That's the concept around Regenerative Ranching and Doniga Markegard is hoping to bring awareness to the idea that carbon doesn't have to be our enemy. In Netflix's documentary Kiss the Ground, many viewers were given their first glimpse of how the human species can utilize regenerative farming practices that takes carbon from the air and replenishes to where it's needed most: our soil. Creating an environment where the soil and animals are biologically conditioned to thrive, farmers like Doniga are using technology to create a cohesive ecosystem on their ranch to avoid the negative side effects factory farming has on our planet. In our chat with Doniga, she's breaking down how she got started as a regenerative rancher and how cattle can be good for the environment by mimicking nature to restore carbon in the soils and promote biodiversity.Links from the show:Follow Doniga on InstagramFollow Markegard Family Grassfed on InstagramVisit the Markegard Family WebsiteWatch ‘Kiss the Ground' on Netflix~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Where to Find Digital Dispatch & Blythe:  LinkedinYouTubeInstagramPinterestTikTokDigital Dispatch websiteGot something to say?Have a topic you'd like to see covered?

This forum highlighting leading women in ranching operations was recorded Feb 20, 2020 at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado as part of the Society for Range Management annual meeting. The speakers included women from non-traditional ranching backgrounds as well as women whose families have been in the ranching business for several generations. The speakers provide a breadth of perspective as to what ranching is and why women are critical to the mission of sustainable ranches. This list is certainly not comprehensive of all the qualified women, but a group who carry the flag for all those who are instrumental in their ranch operations. Speakers were: Mary Budd Flitner, Wyoming rancher-- "Betting It All " Ashley Hibbard, Montana rancher--"Impostor syndrome". Starts at 19:25. Julie Sullivan, Colorado rancher--"Hippie Meets Rancher". Starts at 40:30. Nancy Ranney, New Mexico rancher--"Regenerative Ranching in Mesa Country". Starts at 1:04:35. Mimi Hillenbrand, South Dakota bison rancher. (With apologies to Mimi, we've not included this talk because recording quality was poor and listening would depend on seeing the accompanying video). The session was coordinated and facilitated by Pat Pfeil, a Florida rancher. WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!
