Story

Ruby, a sleek black heifer, moves with purpose through the dry, leafless brush. Her grazing is integral to the Holistic Planned Grazing process, where she selectively feeds, promoting biodiversity and ecosystem health. By pressing plant material into the soil, Ruby facilitates decomposition, returning nutrients to enrich the soil, which is vital for soil fertility in this arid setting. Her movement aids in water retention by improving soil structure, contributing to the land's regeneration. Ruby's role demonstrates how livestock can positively impact the environment through careful, planned grazing practices.
