Grazing Naturally

GRAZE PROFITABLY AND SEQUESTER CARBON

Grazing Naturally regenerates soil life using animals and natural wild grazing patterns. Soil depth and structure is improved with the sequestration of Carbon in the form of Humus.

Green vigorous living plants managed by grazing animals in a Grazing Naturally pattern of use sequester Soil Carbon into Humus to build soil structure in an age old natural process. Humus, a carbon based compound created by soil biota from animal dung and root exudates at depth, holds mineral particles apart creating 'space' in the soil. Improved structure allows soil to capture and hold more water for longer. Keeping plants green and youthful drives the flow of liquid carbon into the soil to feed the soil building biological community.
This makes Grazing Naturally more profitable as animal performance is better on younger vigorous plants.

The Grazing Naturally Method

The objective of Grazing Naturally is to create a fit for purpose grazing orientated community of
organisms to produce the environment for grazing and animal production with regenerating soils.

Change the pattern,
'Function', and you
change the whole,
'Form'!"

in a youthful growth

word from Dick Richardson

‘Grazing Naturally’ works with nature’s own principle of form follows function. Developing vibrant, grazing based ecological communities, using natural grazing patterns.

Everytime you hear Dick Richardson speak you learn something new and you will be entertained!

Chesney Pastoral - Blayney NSW

Dick has a willingness to share his wealth of embodied knowledge and as clients our knowledge of pastures and landscapes is growing! He always has a cracking story of his life experiences to share and with every interaction with him we learn.

Sean Martyn

Consultant - Coffs Harbour NSW

Dick Richardson has a deep affinity with the landscape, livestock and the people that depend on and work with both. In terms of hands on skill, knowledge and practical advice, Dick is a leader in this field.

It is refreshing in Southern Australia to have access to Dick’s ‘ecological‘ wisdom and ‘practical grazing knowledge’ and to be able to offer this to Southern Australia livestock producers as not all Southern livestock producers are looking for pasture and grazing management assistance based on ‘inputs’ (eg fertiliser, pasture renovation) alone.

The best thing to ever happen to Agriculture in Australia, is Dick Richardson!

‘The Conscious Farmer’ - Liverpool Plains NSW

Dick Richardson is an educator and grazier now in Australia. He is originally South African, where he practiced HM principles and he now does similar in Australia. It was Dick that suggested to me that “too much grass is a bigger problem than not enough grass”. It is fantastic to speak to Dick about how to optimise planned grazing, as he puts a very practical slant on planned grazing that is both production and regeneration focussed.

Dick Richardson, is one of those special breeds of humans that understand Nature to its Core, you may not like what he tells you, but if you have the patience to listen you Well Win and see your landscape as you have never before. A true Rock Star
