Proper grazing management is a matter of “getting animals to the right place, at the right time, for the right reasons, with the right behavior.” With Holistic Planned Grazing, managers are able to isolate the many factors that create complexity in any farm or ranch environment, and build a plan that provides peace of mind and soil regeneration for any season.

We will cover how to integrate livestock with your crop or hay plans, grazing cover crops, and utilizing livestock to grow soil health in any environment. This 3-day course will provide a comprehensive training in Holistic Planned Grazing. To register, visit our Workshops registration page. Cost is $499; repeat students of Holistic Planned Grazing receive 50% off.
