Story

Ayo, a name from Yoruba meaning "joy," is fitting for this brown heifer as she moves with a sense of purpose through the dry, sparse landscape. Managed by land managers, her grazing is part of a deliberate effort to foster ecosystem health. As Ayo walks, her hooves trample the vegetation, creating a layer of ground cover that's essential for capturing moisture, preventing soil erosion, and promoting decomposition. This joyful interaction with the land aids in its regeneration, showing how livestock can bring joy to the environment through sustainable practices.
