Story

Kgomotso, a name from the Setswana language meaning "comfort," aptly describes this sturdy brown heifer as she moves with purpose through the dry, leafless brush. Her grazing is a key component of the Holistic Planned Grazing process, where she selectively feeds to maintain plant diversity, aiding in ecosystem health. By pressing down vegetation with her hooves, Kgomotso facilitates the decomposition of plant material, returning nutrients to the soil, which is crucial for soil fertility in this arid environment. Her strategic movement across the terrain enhances water infiltration and supports the regeneration of the land, illustrating the comfort she brings to the ecosystem through sustainable management practices.
