On a seventh-generation ranch near Piedmont, South Dakota, Jimmie and Riley Kammerer manage grass, cattle, and family together—building resilience through thoughtful grazing, husbandry, and shared work.

This open winter can be a unique opportunity to experiment with bale grazing without making a complete system change commitment. Winter management can be made easier than you might think by starting small, lowering daily feeding pressure, and letting the land do the work.

Two people can look at the same weed and see entirely different things—problem, signal, or resource. What we see shapes how we manage and whether our systems hold up over time.
