Story

Lona, inspired by a Setswana name meaning "soft," describes this brown heifer as she moves steadily through the sparse, dry landscape. Her grazing follows the guidelines of Holistic Planned Grazing, where land managers place her strategically to promote ecosystem diversity. As Lona walks, her hooves trample the vegetation, creating a layer of ground cover that is vital for soil moisture conservation, erosion control, and the natural decomposition process. This action supports the health of the land, facilitating regeneration in an environment where every bit of moisture counts. Lona's contribution to the ecosystem, under the careful watch of land managers, highlights the gentle yet significant impact of planned grazing on land vitality.
