South Dakota ranch sees wildlife rebound after decade of grazing changes

In South Dakota, a ranching family has harnessed the power of rotational grazing and cutting-edge virtual fencing to rejuvenate their land’s biodiversity. By allowing grasslands to rest between grazing sessions, they have significantly improved plant health and restored native ecology. This approach not only boosts wildlife populations, such as diverse bird species and larger mammals, but also streamlines cattle management with reduced labor.
