The Casual Cattle Conversations Podcast
Education:How To
Cattle and crops. That’s what a lot of us make our living on and know best. But what if adding one more species to your operation could not only improve your soil health and forages but also offer another revenue source throughout the year? Kevin Lynch shares the pros and cons of multispecies grazing as well as what beginners need to consider in Season 7, Episode 16 of the Casual Cattle Conversations podcast.

He has worked with Noble for 17 years but has been passionate about small ruminants and grazing for over 40 years.
