Video duration: 271 seconds n 1903, my great-great uncle left Hungary to put down roots on a 320-acre homestead in Wyoming, which has turned into a 20,000 acre ranch and farm. That homestead is now called Thaler Land & Livestock Company. By staying true to the conservation goals of our operation, we have proven that a carefully managed cattle operation can be profitable, environmentally sustainable and also beneficial!

Fred Greer, Cow/calf operator Posted by: NCBAvideo
Video duration: 256 seconds I'm a sixth-generation farmer and my knowledge of conservation practices and love for the land was influenced by my father, who grew cotton on the farm in the 1940s. My family's operation consists of 90 Brangus spring and fall calving cows. We keep low stocking rates to limit erosion and use rotational grazing to ensure our cattle have continuous access to high-quality grass. Related: beef, conservation, grazing, rotational |

Prosser and Metzger families, Diablo Trust Ranches Posted by: NCBAvideo
Video duration: 256 seconds As neighbors, our families have shared resources and ideas for managing our respective ranches since the 1950s.

We came together to form the Diablo Trust in 1993 Effectively combining Bar T Bar Ranch and Flying M Ranch. Related: beef, diablo, raches, tursh |
