We’re looking forward to attending the following events in 2025.

Instinctive Migratory Grazing Clinic
Aug
28
to Sep 3

Instinctive Migratory Grazing Clinic

Bob Kinford is traveling to Montana from his home in Texas to provide this opportunity for ranchers to learn how to utilize stockmanship techniques to influence livestock and re-boot their herd's natural instincts.

Bob uses his own techniques every day as he grazes cattle, goats and sheep for ranchers in Texas. The beauty of the process is that it requires riding two to three days a week, rather than fencing, to get results similar to multi-paddock grazing. It also may be more feasible in rough terrain, where fencing isn't practical. 

Participants in the clinics will bring their own horses and learn-by-doing how to utilize the skills Bob teaches. The workshops offered this summer in Montana will utilize cattle, but the techniques work for all types of livestock.

America's Grasslands Conference

America's Grasslands Conference

We are excited to welcome folks to Kearney, Nebraska for the Seventh Biennial America’s Grasslands Conference in June 2025! This year we are cohosting the conference with the Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Our 2025 conference theme is Grasslands Across Generations, with a focus on the modification of grasslands over time and the progression of grassland conservation. This emphasis will also help orient our future endeavors and pave the way for the next generations to move this important work forward.

We have exciting plans for our three days together beginning with three field trips options which will allow participants to experience the largest intact temperate grassland on earth, visit local ranches, and native prairies.

This year we had an unprecedented number of presentation submissions, and we are working to put together an exciting lineup of speakers, posters, and roundtable talks that will comprise the second and third day of the conference. Another highlight to note, we will head to the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center for dinner featuring conservation ranching beef along with local beverages. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the grounds of Rowe Sanctuary along the Platte River.
