This is my attempt at giving him a voice and access to a larger audience. There are a lot of farmers and ranchers doing great work that need to be heard. I think this country needs to have an honest and constructive conversation about more regenerative farming and ranching operations. Spread the word. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

Thank You for getting the word out about Regenerative Agriculture! Frank is 100% correct that his grazing methods are improving the land. We would be so lucky to have many more regenerative style ranchers on the hills of Orange County, protecting us from wildfires and providing quality food for the local community.

I would've appreciated more in depth information about what constitutes "holistic grazing" and how that's achieved to get these desired results. I'm left with that very important question. He went into some of the details about _why_ it's important, how it affects rain run off and fire susceptibility, as well as how it can affect the land that is overgrazed...but missed perhaps the most important aspect. May have to google separately, but nonetheless, this was very interesting to become acquainted with something I knew nothing about previously.

Probably talking about moving his cattle daily. If you haven't already discovered him you may find greg Judy interesting. From my understanding the basics is that you put your animals on smaller pastures and so they eat every type of plant that's edible. But instead of grazing it to the ground you move them often enough that they just clip off the top. In return the animals leave behind fertilizer and trampled grass so that the ground is covered. You do that in a way that gives each pasture/paddock proper rest and by the time you get back to that Pasture it's growed back greener, thicker and better. And you don't need to put down any chemicals. At least that's my understanding of it. Greg Judy has a youtube channel on it. I'm glad to discover that others seem to be doing their own variation of it with what looks to me like good results.

Joking aside, this is great but you do need to fence off some very small blocks and establish some trees; livestock love trees for shade, but they'll eat every sapling before it can grow.

I know they have stands of trees scattered throughout the 800 or so acres they graze the cattle on. And they use hot wire and virtual fencing to control where the cattle go. So I assume they take what you're suggesting into account. I'm not sure. I'm sure if you contacted 5 Bar Beef on Facebook or via email they'd appreciate hearing your ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Actually, the cows will get rid of weeds eventually just by trampling them into the soil if they don't actually eat them. Goats can be pretty tricky to take care of. Then tend to jump on things, including over fences...
