Overview
Successful grazing starts with a strong foundation. This five-week online course explores the fundamental principles behind Holistic Planned Grazing, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your land, livestock, and resources. It is for anyone looking to improve their grazing management, transition to regenerative or holistic grazing, or build a solid foundation before making detailed grazing plans.* Through engaging lessons, discussions, and real-world case studies, you’ll gain the insight needed to graze with confidence and intention.
You’ll learn:
What holistic planned grazing is and how it affects land, animals, soil and profit
The historical role of grazing and how it has shaped ecosystems
The key differences between continuous vs. holistic planned grazing
Why timing, movement, and recovery are critical to pasture health
How to develop a grazier’s eye—assessing plant health, soil conditions, and livestock body condition
This course focuses on the "why" of planned grazing, setting the stage for effective management without jumping straight into creating a grazing plan.
*We strongly recommend taking this course before Holistic Grazing Planning, especially for those new to land stewardship or transitioning to regenerative grazing.
