This video is about the use of multi-species
grazing (i.e., cattle, sheep and goats) as a tool
in an integrated approach to the control of
noxious weeds on rangeland in the Pacific
Northwest. This tool can also be used to reduce
fuel loads as part of a fire prevention program
and in areas where the use herbicides, fire or
mechanical control is not possible. The video
depicts the activities of a 2-year regional
project funded by the SARE/PDP program. The first
year was devoted primarily to a series of
workshops that taught the principles of holistic
decision-making, grazing planning, low-cost
cow-calf production and monitoring. The second
year emphasized the collaborative design and
implementation of on-the-ground projects that
integrated the principles learned. Three of these
projects are described in this video (40 minutes in length).
