Story

Busi, a name from Zulu meaning "blessing," suits this brown heifer as she moves with intent through the dry, leafless terrain. Her grazing is part of the Holistic Planned Grazing process, where land managers ensure she is in the correct location to feed on the vegetation that will help boost biodiversity in the ecosystem. Through her movement, Busi's hooves engage in trampling, pushing down and covering the land with trampled grass and other vegetation, providing essential ground cover. This ground cover aids in water retention, reduces erosion, and promotes decay, contributing significantly to soil health and land regeneration. Busi's role in this ecosystem, guided by land managers, exemplifies the benefits of strategic grazing practices in maintaining ecological balance.
