At Acre & Herd Ranch, we practice regenerative agriculture through a carefully managed rotational grazing system. Our sheep are moved frequently between pasture sections, mimicking the natural behavior of wild grazing herds. Rather than allowing continuous grazing in one area, we divide our land into smaller paddocks and move our flock regularly—sometimes daily—ensuring each section receives both intensive grazing and adequate recovery periods.

Regenerative agriculture goes beyond sustainable farming—it actively improves the environment. While conventional agriculture often depletes resources, regenerative practices build soil health, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon. This holistic approach works with nature's rhythms instead of against them, creating thriving ecosystems that produce nutritious food while healing the land.

When our sheep graze a section of pasture, they:
Stimulate plant growth by pruning vegetation to optimal heights, encouraging deeper root development
Deposit natural fertilizer through manure and urine, enriching the soil with essential nutrients
Break up compacted soil with their hooves, improving water infiltration and aeration
Trample uneaten plant matter, creating a protective mulch layer that retains moisture and feeds soil biology

During rest periods between grazing, the land recovers and flourishes, developing:

Increased organic matter and carbon sequestration
Enhanced soil structure with improved water-holding capacity
More diverse plant communities with deeper, stronger root systems
Thriving populations of beneficial soil microorganisms

This continuous cycle of carefully timed grazing and rest creates a regenerative loop that builds topsoil, increases farm resilience to drought and flooding, reduces erosion, and produces exceptional quality lamb while eliminating the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
The result is healthier land, healthier animals, and ultimately, more nutritious and flavorful American pasture-raised lamb for your table.
