Project Background
A New Management System for Drought Resilience on Northern Rockies Rangelands will create a transferable model of livestock management that maximizes drought resilience and range health in the Northern Rockies. In addition to soil and drought concerns, the project will address numerous ecological and social issues associated with ranching and grazing in the Northern Rockies region. The proposed project applies innovative concepts such as "rodearing" - a management-intensive grazing technology, together with other Holistic Management elements to mitigate the impacts of drought and other relevant agriculture concerns in the Northern Rockies.
