Glad to hear it! It's journey for sure!

You're right they never had a chance

The current culture does not work with mother nature. Rather, it tries to beat her into submission. With that in mind, it is Counter Culture to adapt and work with nature. That's why moving animals is important. Most Ranchers don't move their livestock around, rather they stay in one pasture for most of the year while the resources (plants, soil, and water) are depleted. On the beaver note, they will come if you have the right conditions for more life, Just as the bald eagles have returned to the land here due to the abundance of life that is growing each year as we learn to manage better with nature in mind.

@@counterculturefarms Well good luck. Part of the problem Texas has, it’s a people shoot everything with a set of teeth hence why they have such a big problem with feral animals. I’m not being funny but it’s a hell of a lot easier for a farmer to have a bunch of cattle in the field with a bunch of guard dogs and it is hard to deal with feral pigs ripping a living hell out of your pasture. Go forward with rotational grazing I can see more landowners using livestock guardian dogs and leaving the coyote population alone as well as the mountain lions especially in areas where they’ve got a big problem with feral pigs and exotics, or should I say one would hope farmers would switch to solutions which Wilding might cost a few more dollars in terms of having to maintain a pack of guard dogs in terms of hassle factor not having to shoot coyotes every five minutes and seeing a reduction in the numbers of feral pigs has got to be worth the hassle. I hope you do get beavers back that or Google Aviva rescue and they can Ross are you up a pair of them or a family of them to shelf in the creek on your land which are still got water. Hopefully watch from work their magic.

We unroll hay in the winter on poor areas while feeding hay but that would be very costly in the summer. If you mean the neighbors cows, no, we don't bring in other people's cows on to our place to help keep disease pressures low.

@@counterculturefarms I was wondering because of the drought a lot of ranchers had to start hay. I know expensive etc.

thankfully we have not had to feed hay yet and we just got rain this week so that will push the hay date further back

East of Nac. If you are interested in buying some sheep, then you can come see them. If not, we don't do personal tours. Too much going on at the moment for that. In the fall, we are working towards a field day at the ranch for the community to come out.

It is similar to the old ways but with my own spin added to the mix. No one is doing it perfect and we need people continually pushing the norm and people who aren't afraid to fail so we can figure out what works and what doesn't.
