Regenerative Grazing School

Information About the Regenerative Grazing School

We are very excited to host a Regenerative Grazing School this year, August 25-27, 2020 led by Jim Gerrish, Grazing Consultant from American Grazing Lands Services. He taught a 1-Day Management-Intensive Grazing Clinic at the Koch Ranch in 2018. We had a good group of participants that year who were willing to learn more about grazing management practices and soil health that lead to profitability. Time was spent in the classroom, in the field, and ending the day with a discussion on the lawn under the trees.

Here are some photos of that day.

How To Find the Koch Ranch

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3. Mile marker 123 on NE Hwy 2, between Ellsworth and Bingham. Turn at the marker (you will see the Koch Ranch sign), go a half mile north and watch for other signs. We’re by the big marshmallow building in the valley with the cross on the hill.
