98. Stockmanship & Range Management with the Indrelands

What happens when better grazing management changes not only your ranch, but the entire ecosystem around it? In this episode, John Haskell sits down with Roger and Betsy Indreland to discuss how a shift in thinking around soil health, recovery, and grazing management transformed their operation. What began as skepticism after hearing regenerative grazing concepts eventually became a complete rethinking of forage management, drought resilience, and ranch profitability.

The Indrelands share how focusing on cover, stockpiled feed, and longer recovery periods dramatically improved both productivity and resilience on their ranch. They explain how better grazing management increased carrying capacity, while also improving wildlife abundance, biodiversity, and overall ranch health. This episode highlights the long-term biological and financial benefits of managing with resilience, recovery, and observation in mind.
