Ranching Reboot #153 Ann and Bob Demerath: Bridging Farming and Nutrition: Regenerative Ranching and Nutrient-Dense Beef
This show traces the transformative journey of ranchers shifting from conventional farming to the regenerative ranching revolution, focusing on sustainable land management and high-quality meat production. A couple from Missouri, explain their transition, and share surprising results from a nutrient density study showing their grass-fed beef to be 2.7 times more nutritious than conventional beef. The benefits of adaptive grazing and appropriate recovery periods for pastures are also highlighted. Furthermore, the speakers discuss the rigors of achieving third-party certification for regenerative practices, emphasizing the impacts on soil and water health, and express their intention to guide others towards this sustainable movement. They also alert listeners to the expected increase in public demand for their practices, driven by documentaries and celebrity endorsements.
