How to Make Money and Improve the Habitat- Cattle Farming

Let's break the mold and get back to natural systems. Large herbivores grazed across the landscapes and the wildlife thrived, but over time we've forgotten how to use grazing animals to still benefit the landscape. In this video we discuss the importance of rotating cattle and prevented over grazing. This rotation replicates the historical bison herds and creates enough disturbance to benefit wildlife like quail, turkeys, and other birds. This disturbance also stimulates forbs to grow and they provide forage and additional cover for wildlife. All this talk about grazing could also mean money in your pockets! Wondering where all the quail and turkeys went? Take a good look at your farm, it might be a grazing disturbance that you're missing.

Great job, Matt. When I first got my property, I thought I would never want cattle on it because I wanted it to be as "natural" as possible with native grasses and forbs. Part of that reasoning is seeing all of the pastures heavily overgrazed in my area and knowing that there is nothing out there for the deer, quail, or turkey. Listening to the podcast has totally changed my perspective. Being in northern Oklahoma, my property was historically a prairie roamed by bison. I see some cattle roaming my place in the near future. Keep up the good work, guys.

How often do you rotate the cattle? Could you give me some numbers for reference? Very interesting habitat improvement strategy.

Never imagined cattle not only coexisting, but having a symbiotic relationship with each other.

Are you suggesting that you keep on moving them from pasture to pasture once they've been there a little while

Correct. Replicating the historical bison herds

I have mixed feelings about cattle. Cattle density needs to be addressed. Non native grasses really do nothing for wildlife. Maybe native WSG lands could work. Lots to think about before I would consider it.

Dennis Pawlowski most people have really bad feeling about cattle because of past experience. Including ourselves but! Some of the best farms we’ve been on for having diverse plants and wildlife, large deer, quail numbers, and make money to pay for the farm have cattle. Once you experience a farm like that you want to have it.

@@Landandlegacytube you know I have been watching videos on multiple species cover crops for crop and grazing. That is a valuable option for both wildlife and cattle. We have been farming wrong for generation's
