A TomKat Ranch-produced guide to growing abundant rangelands and the benefits they provide.
This plant guide is a result of requests from many NRCS field offices who conduct conservation planning on California’s rangelands. The desire to know which plant species provide a forage base for livestock was the impetus for this guide.

As an intern at TomKat Ranch, I get to attend a lot of events and trainings on the ranch. When I heard that the ranch was hosting a clinic on stock dogs, I imagined that I would be learning how to train a dog to work with livestock, however, as it turned out, the clinic went much deeper and was really about using dogs to train me to read my livestock better.
