All his coaches made him a linebacker but his true passion lied in grazing the field

On Pine Creek Road, part 2.

Oh look, a cute calf! Let me get a picture.

Mom: not on my watch, human!

The other cattle went back to grazing basically forming a wall between me and the baby. Lesson learned. If it weren’t for the fence i might have been trampled.

Grazing.

Dig in, fellas. It's been a hard day standing in the fields, in the pens, by the mountains: it was sunny for a time, then cloudy for a time, then rainy for a time. As domestic livestock, that is the way of things. But that's not to say it's not hard work. And all that standing, and experiencing of changing weather conditions, is a famishing enterprise.

It's #grazing time, so bon appétit  x

Kansas Research Shows Reintroducing Bison on Tallgrass Prairie Doubles Plant Diversity

Findings from decades of data also point to resistance to extreme drought.

Decades of research led by scientists at Kansas State University offered evidence reintroducing bison to roam the tallgrass prairie gradually doubled plant diversity and improved resilience to extreme drought.

Gains documented in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science were among the largest recorded globally in terms of species richness on grazing grasslands. The research involved more than 30 years of data collected at the Konza Prairie Biological Station near Manhattan.

Zak Ratajczak, lead researcher and assistant professor of biology at Kansas State, said removal of nearly all bison from the prairie occurred before establishment of quantitative records. That meant effects of removing the dominant grazer were largely unknown, he said.

“Bison were an integral part of North American grasslands before they were abruptly removed from over 99% of the Great Plains,” Ratajczak said...

Burnt Island Light, Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Burnt Island gets its name from routinely set fires. The fires make for better grazing grass to feed the sheep that once populated the island.

A pic from my first visit this year to my secret cow island. So nice to finally be able to go there again after six months.

The fresh group consists of sixteen sweet heifers and one young bull. Stay tuned for more.
