California Ranching: Raising Beef with Sustainable Stewardship
Posted by Susan in Virginia Wildlife on Nov 18th, 2010 | 0 commentsIn the middle of California's Bay Area, a ranching family provides a haven for wildlife and endangered species. The family's management practices have not only improved rangeland health, but is a prime example of the conservation ethic that has been instilled over generations in the ranchers who manage the lands today -- and the love of the land that is being passed on to their children.
