A key to the sustainability of ranching enterprises is discovering opportunities and developing strategies for improving livestock productivity in conjunction with land and wildlife stewardship objectives. A critical element of ranch productivity is the development of grazing management strategies and their impacts on land, wildlife, and livestock production. We have set aside the Coloraditas Grazing Research and Demonstration Area, an 18,000-acre unit of San Antonio Viejo, as the ‘laboratory’ for developing adaptive grazing strategies and understanding how they can promote livestock production, rangeland condition and resilience, and wildlife habitat and populations. What we learn here informs our grazing management across the ranching enterprise.
