Story

Lelo, a name from the Xhosa language meaning "today," is fitting for this brown heifer as she moves with purpose through the dry landscape. Her grazing is a key component of the Holistic Planned Grazing strategy, where she helps to manage vegetation, promoting biodiversity and soil health. By pressing down plant material, Lelo facilitates decomposition, returning nutrients to the soil which enhances its fertility. This process is vital for water retention in such an arid environment, aiding in land regeneration. Lelo's presence today exemplifies the ongoing, positive interaction between livestock and land through strategic grazing practices.
