Consulting (Adaptive Grazing & Low-Input Profitability)
Make your farm more profitable—without buying more inputs.
I’m a boots-on-the-ground grazing consultant. Using adaptive grazing, I doubled carrying capacity on a conventional farm while cutting ~90% of outside inputs.
I work nationwide (and will consider international travel) to help you redesign for profit, resilience, and less labor.
What I Help With
-
Adaptive grazing plans – stocking, stock density, rest periods, and seasonal moves
-
Fencing & water systems – simple, durable, low-maintenance layouts
-
Silvopasture design & tree establishment – integrating fruit, nut, and shade trees for productivity and resilience
-
Fruit tree systems & grafting – site selection, spacing, pruning, protection, and custom grafting for long-term production
-
Input reduction – fertility, feed, and mineral strategies that let the pasture do the work
-
Hay reduction – make less hay (or none) while feeding more days on pasture
-
Enterprise profitability – yields, cash flow, and ROI per acre
-
Multi-species management – cattle, sheep, goats, equine, poultry integration
-
Pasture diversity – grasses, legumes, and forbs that build soil and animal health
This is grounded in decades of livestock management and nearly 10,000 hours of research, fieldwork, and practical experience.
