      Is the perceived high cost infrastructure improvements and labor holding you back from grazing regeneratively?  Contact me now to set up a Forensic Grazing Study to determine how to fit an IMG program to your ranch. We look at forage to determine how your cattle have been grazing and how that has affected your forage base and how to plan for more biologically correct grazing. At the same time we look at whether or not you need to modify your water system and fencing to determine the most economical way to make what changes you need. In most cases, the only added fencing will be to create waterlots in places where you have waterpoints across the fence from each other. 

Cost is $600 a day plus $1 a mile fee from Van Horn, Texas

Have a recreational ranch you would like to improve habitat, but don't want the hassle of being in the cattle business?

Talk to me about a personalized regenerative lease for your ranch were we work on water infrastructure while combining both mechanical and intensive grazing along with bale grazing where necessary to maximize  precipitation utilization and biological impact

Schools & Clinics

In order to assure a better learning experience, the maximum class size for both schools and clinics is limited to a maximum of 5 people.

As you will be using new handling methods and teaching your horses new ways to approach and turn cattle, it is advisable that  you ride in a bosal or snaffle. Both classes are great for young, green horses

Contact me here to host a school or clinic.

 

IMG schools  Cost for a five day IMG school is $3,000 plus $1.00 per mile one way from Van Horn, Texas. Mileage fee and 50% deposit to hold date. Rather than spending time in a classroom and watching videos, class is held in the pasture, rebooting the herd instinct of the cattle on the host ranch. As everything is done at "the speed of cow" we are also able to discuss infrastructure,  grazing and other methods to regenerate grass while observing the various behavioral changes on the way to herd instinct being rebooted. By the end of the school, the host herd will be close, or even completely rebooted, allowing you to begin regenerating grass with little effort. 

*Two day stockmanship/horsemanship clinics  These clinics cover the same handling techniques as the IMG Schools, but with more emphasis on horsemanship without discussion on grazing. These methods are especially good in settling and catching wilder cattle as well as keeping cattle calm when sorting or pulling from feedlot pens. 

*Two day clinics are $1,200 plus $1 a mile from either Van Horn, Tx, or my last engagement.
