Grazing for Life is a deep dive into regenerative grazing and how we can take our management to the next level by empowering our underground livestock - soil microbes. Suitable for all levels of land manager, beginning to advanced graziers. Presented by Cody Spencer and Nicole Masters. Online video training with the experts!
Grazing for Life!
Most graziers are managing livestock. The best ones are
managing land. This course teaches you the difference — and how to make your
animals do more of the work.
Built for graziers who suspect their land can do more
This course is for land managers
at any level — beginning to advanced — who want to stop fighting their land and
start working with it.
It is not for graziers who are
satisfied treating their animals as production units and their soil as a
substrate.

"We've seen massive improvements. Moving the herd in a mob grazing system, we now have so much more grass."
- Dan Herdman, soil steward
"Progressive graziers everywhere should give this a hard study. The practitioner can readily
glean practices and strategies to apply to their operations in the short term
while considering long-term commitments for improved rangeland health."
- Chris Mehus, Program Director, Western Sustainability Exchange
"You learn how to turn the 'problem' — cows — into the solution.
We are so excited to continue the journey."
