On assignment for The Nature Conservancy, J Bar L Ranch, Two Dot Land & Livestock and Yellowstone Grassfed Beef in Centennial Valley, Montana

Holistic Management is about the symbiotic relationship between large herds of wild herbivores, their predators and the grasslands. The idea is to manage herds of domestic livestock to mimic those wild herds to heal the land.

It does take time, skills and discipline to use this decision-making framework successfully – but the economic, environmental and social benefits are enormous.

In the photo you see my friend Phil herding the cattle with low stress cattle management, which very simplified is about making the animals move by their own initiative to never stress them. Happy cows, happy cowboys =)

If you want to visit a scenic landscape that is comparable to nothing else and really feel like you are one with the nature, check out J Bar L vacation homes.
