I am currently the Grazing and Forage Production Manager on holistically managed, 3000 stock unit ranch in western Colorado. I've managed large-scale (1500-6000 stock unit) ranches in Montana, South Dakota, and New Zealand on a variety of landscapes. We've run beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, and European red deer on a large scale. Operations we've managed range from 14000 acres (SD) to 53000 acres (MT) to 68000 acres (NZ), to 3000 irrigated acres (CO).
