Courses

Join Kirk Gadzia, a world-leading practitioner in regenerative grazing techniques, for a three-day intensive introduction to Holistic Management grazing at Milkwood Farm.

This three-day course is designed to introduce farmers, agronomists and would-be graziers to the principles of regenerative grazing.

Learn how holistically managed herds of cows or sheep can be used as biological accelerators to build topsoil and pasture diversity while producing a profitable, sustainable on-farm income of pastured meat.

This course will enable you to create an effective grazing plan for your farm, utilising the proven techniques that regenerative grazing offers. Learn how to take the theory of Holistic Management and put it into action in this hands-on course.

In this workshop Kirk will introduce students to a range of principles, techniques and examples in how to apply regenerative grazing to a wide range of climates and topographies, resulting in a profitable, regenerative farm.

Kirk will step you through how to create an effective and realistic grazing plan tailored to your needs that works to regenerate your farm, your resources, and your herd.

This workshop will cover:

• Holistic Management theory
  
• How to break the worm cycle in herbivores
  
• How to use herbivores to regenerate land
  
• How to create resilient, diverse pastures
  
• How to transition from conventional grazing to Holistic Management
  
• How grazing plans can be adapted to available resources
  
• An introduction to Holistic Goal Setting, to get your grazing plan right for you.

• Participate in actively designing a grazing plan for the property where the course is held
• Learn each and every aspect of designing an effective and realistic grazing plan
  
• Gather the skills and knowledge you need to design your own grazing plan

Benefits of Holistic Management include improving soil health and biodiversity of rangelands and pastures, increasing grazing capacity, optimally using rainfall and conserving water, growing healthier crops and achieving higher yields.
