Have you ever heard of the phrase “that farm is managed”? Have you stopped to consider what that means? Do you wonder, what type of management they are talking about? Overtime we have seen this term become devalued and over-generalized. During this podcast, we clearly outline the difference between herd management and land management. These two different types of management play huge roles in the progress we aim to see on land. Land management involves, TSI, prescribed fire, old-field, etc. Herd management involves tracking and selectively harvesting deer based on recorded data such as adult sex ratios, fawn recruitment rates, recorded weights, and overall carrying capacity. If you desire to maximize your property you have to actively manage. Manage the land in sync with the herd. It’s not, one or the other, it’s both. If you want results, manage every aspect and year-round by addressing the needs of the land and herd. #ForLoveoftheLand Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast
