About this Event
In partnership with NCAT, Soil for Water and the Hill Country Alliance, ROAM Ranch is excited to host this 2-day workshop with Nicole Masters, agroecologist, soil expert and Director at Integrity Soils. This workshop is geared towards land managers, ranchers, farmers, gardeners, environmentalists, and anyone else interested in improving the health of Texas soil and making our lands more resilient to the dynamic and sometimes unforgiving climates of Texas.
Nicole will address the following topics:
– Building soil structure and improving water and mineral cycles
– The role of soil microbes on pasture quality and resiliency
– What weeds are telling you about your soils
– How to manage for weeds, disease and insects
– How to shift from invasive grasses to native grasses
– Adaptive multi-paddock grazing
– Monitoring strategies to ensure you are meeting your goals
– Reducing the need for chemical inputs without reducing yields
You will learn how to take a future-focused approach to land management, growing healthy food, and creating robust ecosystems!
This event will also include other experienced local farmers, ranchers and producers and will be an opportunity to network and learn from others in the field.
Tickets include 2 days of lecture and outdoor field study is $130 and includes lunch and refreshments both days. NO REFUNDS AVAILABLE 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE EVENT (AFTER DECEMBER 27TH).
This conference is the preeminent statewide meeting for anyone working in the field of land and water conservation, private landowners interested in conserving their land, government, business and NGO agency partners, and any person interested in learning more about these important issues in Texas.
Saving Working Lands: Preparing
Landowners for Energy Development
November 14th, 2019
10:30am-2:00pm
Espino Conference Center
Sul Ross State University, Alpine, Texas.
The Greater Big Bend region is projected to face new impacts from energy development in the upcoming years. Texas Agricultural Land Trust and Borderlands Research Institute host this seminar will provide information, strategies and tools for landowners who hope to minimize the impact of that development.
This two-day workshop will be filled with interactive sessions led by experienced graziers and educators. It is designed for those who already have some experience with holistic planned grazing and want to be inspired and prepared to take their management to a higher level.
On October 18, 2018, Dixon Water Foundation held a workshop featuring Walt Davis & Dr. Richard Teague, experts in the benefits of planned grazing and the science behind it.
The workshop covered biological capital, planned grazing, relationships between forage and grazing animals, and how to plan for drought recovery.

Allen Williams, Ph.D., recently shared his experiences as a consultant, rancher and pioneer in grass-finished beef production during a workshop at Dixon Ranches Leo Unit, co-hosted by the Noble Foundation. Williams offered his perspectives on soil health, adaptive multi-paddock grazing and forage management, high attribute pasture-based meat production, and alternative marketing systems. Presentations from this workshop are now online:
Williams is a 6th generation family farmer and founding partner of Grass Fed Beef LCC and Grass Fed Insights LLC, and a partner in Joyce Farms, Inc. He has consulted with more than 4,000 farmers and ranchers in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and South America on operations ranging from a few acres to more than one million acres. Williams pioneered many of the early grass-fed protocols and forage finishing techniques, and has spent the last 15 years refining them.
Allen Williams, Ph.D., will provide insight and share his experiences as a consultant, rancher and pioneer in grass-finished beef production at Dixon Ranches Leo Unit from 9am to 4pm on May 31. During an in-field discussion, he will also share his perspectives on soil health, adaptive multi-paddock grazing and forage management, high attribute pasture-based meat production, and alternative marketing systems.
