Purpose of RGA

This Regenerative Grazing (RGA) website is an introduction portal (free, self help, self discovery) platform of recommendations by farmers for farmers, that capture and utilise learnings from great ecological and agribusiness insightful pioneers, innovators, early adopters, farmers, scientists and leading educators in many fields of regenerative grazing and associated fields that we deal with to operate a successful business - regenerative agriculture- agroforestry- offgrid living to name a few.

RGA goal is:

to share ground breaking information of regenerative grazing and associated fields.
Knowledge is useless - - - - - unless you share it.
Regenerative grazing management as a key stone foundation factor due to the fact that 33% of the planet surface area is grasslands and grassy woodlands and are affected by our management.
This is a platform especially to cater for young to old, up and coming work colleagues of farmers and want to be farmers - that have a thirst for knowledge in this field.
Provides a pathway to where to seek further knowledge or help in a particular area of interest.
Encourage diverse discussion:

Train of Thought

(A succession of connected ideas, a path of reasoning)

The content is designed to engage by visual presentation and sit down with a cuppa to explore.

If you seek more on knowledge on these introductory subject matter, a direction or stepping stone pathway is supplied to seek more knowledge supported by films, movies, documentaries, books, scientific research, workshops, field days of pioneers and leaders in these fields

Weaner Education - A Training video for your staff - Part 2 Stockmanship

The Northern Territory Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries has developed a new video to help pastoralists improve cattle management. The learning tool was produced as a vital device for property managers to use to help instruct and teach their staff about how weaners should be managed on their property.

Self Herding This Months topic Nov 29, 2021

Self Herding is a behaviour-based livestock management approach, which provides livestock managers with strategies and tools to positively influence grazing distribution, and help livestock adapt to new surroundings. It has particular relevance and value in rangeland production systems, but can be used in farming situations as well. The selfherding principles and practices outlined in this publication draw on a large body of research, from Australia and overseas, on behavioural science, grazing management and nutrition. Applying self-herding principles allows you to influence the decisions animals make about how they interact with: each other, you and the landscape. The self-herding approach helps shape livestock grazing habitats and diet selection. By encouraging animals to make grazing decisions through positive experiences, you can establish long-lasting behaviours that benefit your business and your landscape

DIVERSE APPLICATIONS Self Herding can be tightly focussed around a particular issue, such as encouraging animals to graze a new area to allow another area to rest and recover, or to encourage animals to start using a new water point before turning off the previous water point. Self Herding can also be used to help animals adapt to relocation, whether from one paddock to another, from one pastoral property to another, or across regions

CONSCIOUS LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT As a concept, Self Herding also encourages you to think and act more broadly, to shape how livestock, wildlife, plants and people interact over time and space — when you start changing the behaviour of livestock, you influence the behaviour of other animals and plants across the landscape. Everything is connected.

the evolution of Self Herding

The principles, approaches and tools of Self Herding and Self Shepherding came about as a result of more than seven years of collaboration between researcher Dr Dean Revell and livestock producer Bruce Maynard. The fortunate opportunities that arose out of the combined research work from Dean and the applied on-farm actions of Bruce led to a large body of innovation that show huge potential to affect issues and challenges, unsolvable via conventional means.
