On our eastern pasture flats, we execute a synchronized Leader-Follower Rotation. By rotating distinct livestock species across pasture cells on strict timelines, we naturally build soil organic matter while eliminating chemical fertilizers and synthetic dewormers.

The Leader-Follower Sequence

• Phase 1 — Registered Jersey Cattle (The Leaders): They graze the top 30–50% of high-protein forage mass, converting high-plains grasses into rich raw dairy while leaving optimal residual cover.

• Phase 2 — ISBONA Icelandic Sheep (The Followers): Rotated onto the cell 24–48 hours behind the cows. Icelandic sheep graze close to the ground, harvesting secondary plant growth while naturally disrupting bovine internal parasite cycles.

• Phase 3 — Pastured Poultry Tractors (The Sanitizers): 600 seasonal broilers and laying hens enter 48 hours later, scratching through manure to consume insect larvae, sanitizing the pasture, and spreading high-nitrogen compost across the soil.

Silvopasture & Biological Timber Management

Wyoming high-plains timber stands require active management to prevent catastrophic wildfire risks and promote forest floor nutrient cycling.

Heritage Seedstock & High-Plains Resilience

We specialize in breeding primitive, heritage livestock adapted specifically to thrive under harsh high-plains conditions without intensive medical intervention:

• ISBONA Icelandic Sheep: A primitive, triple-purpose breed (fiber, meat, and milk) famous for winter hardiness, superior double-coated fleece (þel and tog), and exceptional foraging resilience.

• ABGA Registered Boer Goats: Selected for structural soundness, aggressive browse capacity, and high-efficiency meat production along scrub timberlines.

Ecological Outcome Verification

We track and measure our land stewardship through concrete soil and forage benchmarks:

• Moisture Retention: Deep straw mulching and dense root mass from perennial forage locks ground moisture into pastures, counteracting wind evaporation.

• Topsoil Carbon Building: Year-round manure distribution from rotational leader-follower grazing accelerates topsoil microbial activity without chemical nitrogen.

• Zero Chemical Inputs: 100% free from synthetic fertilizers, chemical herbicides, and commercial pesticides.
