Grazing Method

The family has been very effective at implementing a short duration, high intensity rotational cattle grazing system across the landscape that has maintained the quality and diversity of the forage resources and wildlife habitat values on the LK ranch.

The Klinglesmithʼs are able to implement this high intensity, short duration cattle grazing system on their ranch property because they have a public land cattle grazing allotment on the adjacent White River National Forest, which offers them a larger landscape and more flexibility to operate within.

Benefits from this type of system include reduced grazing pressure on riparian areas, better distribution of livestock across the landscape, and high quality forage/regrowth for wildlife during critical periods.
