Las Cumbres Ranch | A holistically managed Bonsmara cattle ranch

At Las Cumbres Ranch we consider ourselves land stewards. We work daily on the many aspects of Holistic land Management and regenerative grazing practices. By managing the movement of cattle on our rangeland and allowing the land to rest for a year or more between grazings, both perennial and annual forages fully express themselves thereby increasing biodiversity. Holistically planned regenerative grazing considers not only the condition of the cattle but also the condition of the soil, the plants, and the wildlife. Regenerative planned grazing imitates the grazing patterns of ancient migrating herds. 

MOVING TOGETHER IMPROVES WELLBEING

A band of ten wild horses move with our herd of Bonsmara cattle. Cattle gain more weight when equines graze with them. Studies show different types of grazers moving together improves the wellbeing of all animals, and the rangeland. We take into consideration in our rotations that there is enough food for other grazing wildlife.
