84 | The Messy Middle of Regenerative Ranching: Key Insights from “A Bold Return to Giving a Damn” by Will Harris

from Goat Wise | Meat Goats, Feeding Goats, Goat Fencing, Livestock Management · host Millie Bradshaw - Animal Scientist, Rancher, Homesteader

Hi friends!  Today I want to talk about the transition from conventional agriculture and livestock production to a regenerative or restorative system.  I spent two days in the truck, listening to Will Harris’ book, A Bold Return to Giving a Damn, and it gave me some great insights into the decades-long journey of White Oak Pastures, as well as a look into the future of our ranch.  If you’re considering a production system that is closer to nature’s design or if you’re in the messy middle like we are, this episode will help you see the possibilities, problems, and the beautiful potential.  Let’s get to it!   Related Episodes:   53 | Livestock and Land Management that Works WITH Your Environment and Resources, Not Against Them   45 | Health Benefits of Ruminant Red Meat, Grass-Fed vs Grain-Fed, and Special Characteristics of Goat Meat   21 | Seeking Sustainability?  How to Evaluate Options and Make Decisions with a Sustainability Mindset   08 | When Animals Aren’t Working Out on the Homestead: How to Evaluate Your Livestock Projects and Decide to Keep or Sell   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts + grab your free Kidding Due Date Chart: https://www.goatwise.com/kidding-chart   Join the insider email list: https://www.goatwise.com/join Email: [email protected] Instagram: @drycreekpastures More from the ranch: https://www.drycreekpastures.com   This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for veterinary advice.
