Innovations in Grazing Underpin Sustainable Beef Operation

A feature in Farm Progress explains how Alderspring Ranch takes an innovative approach to sustainable beef production. Glenn and Caryl Elzinga and their daughters and their families direct market beef that they graze on rangeland with a diverse mix of species at different altitudes throughout the course of the year. This contributes to the quality of the meat they sell. After having relied on intensive herding by family, employees, and interns to rotate and protect cattle grazing on the range, Alderspring is shifting to use of virtual fence technology as a management tool.
