Ranching is a rare occupation. Rarer still are the ranchers pioneering new ways to graze cattle, transforming their ranches and farms into vibrant ecosystems, producing black ink for their bank accounts and giving their incredibly robust animals a great life.

Here’s a 12-minute-film about how grazing helps ranchers regenerate their soils, with cascading benefits: more water soaks into and stays in the soil; soil microbes thrive; plant nutrition and production levels take off; and wildlife—from bugs to birds to large mammals—flocks to the ranches.
