TonanitaAn inviting learning environmentSo thankful to have found a space focused on learning from and helping one another. It’s one of the few media spaces where I am able to hear people having thoughtful discussions on farming that make you feel welcome to join the conversation as you are. If you are wanting less opinions and hot takes and more wisdom and knowledge I can’t recommend this podcast enough. I really appreciate the genuinely curious and polite nature of the host.
-
Hubert HubertsonInformativeI really enjoy listening to this. It’s entertaining and informative.
-
BekNapierGood listen for beginners and seasoned graziersCal does a great job of interviewing guests and drawing out practical wisdom from their experiences. There’s a good mix of beginners and seasoned graziers from a variety of contexts. From a fellow Oklahoman, keep up the good work, Cal!
-
dbenbaileyGreat podcast that isn't preachyGrazing Grass is a great podcast that provides more information about regen ag than conventional/large org-produced podcasts, and isn't preachy like other regen ag podcasts.
-
Mithril BurritoThank youI appreciate the work you and so many other podcasters do to provide valuable information to others. I enjoyed the episode with Nathan from PA Lamb especially.
-
Pop's Old Placerelevant informationthank you for sharing the stories and experiences of graziers. I listen to every episode. I have a small herd of cattle and flock of sheep and am always searching for relevant content. Growing grass (or attempting to) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 👩🏻🌾
-
camcpedInnovative IdeasLove this podcast. I learn so much from the guests. There are a lot of innovative ideas and knowledge being passed along for free. More grass farmers should be listening and learning.
-
Musser Family FarmsGreat podcastI appreciate the conversations and ideas portrayed on this podcast. Everyone from “doing it awhile” to “just getting started”. I think it’s good to have the willingness to consider different approaches to farming because we all have different contexts.
-
J McConkeyJLMBeen listening for a while now and really enjoy this podcast. Great topics, great variety of guests from many backgrounds with a shared passion. Thanks for providing great info for someone who is new to the regenerative way of thinking.
-
MiddleVAmicrodairyDairy.Really enjoy this podcast. I would definitely like to see some more episodes on pasture boar dairy farms.
-
jskin2610Great podcastGreat show for graziers , I am in the southeast US but can use ideas for my grazing purposes here
-
Mikej150Great podcastI’ve only listened to two shows so far, but I really enjoyed the conversations. The questions and answers are good and I enjoy the details given about the operational practices people are doing
-
Broken Oak FarmExcellent ResourceThe Grazing Grass podcast is a wonderful resource for those interested in regenerative farming. Cal does a wonderful job of getting granular with each guest and their operation. I enjoy Cal’s style of interviewing and he does a wonderful job of disseminating info that is wide ranging and beneficial to the farmer.
-
perkinstownbowhunterOh yes!!! Low input profitable grass farming ideas!This podcast is a great addition to your weekly listens if you are raising animals with grass as your centerpiece. The host does a great job asking questions and focuses on profitable grass based production for many classes of livestock!

Izhanna N.A great place to learn different approaches to grazing grass.I have a lot of friends in the conventional farming/ranching world, and I have watched them struggle to make ends meet. I always thought there had to be a better way to run this type of business. I wondered how could some people make money doing it, and others struggle to pay their bills. But everyone I know does the same thing, and has the same struggles. This podcast is what opened my eyes to a whole different approach to ranching, and by default farming as well. I have learned so much off of every episode I have listened to, I am so thankful I have found it. I try to listen to a podcast at least once a week, but sometimes I listen to 3-5, back to back while I am working. Some weeks I probably listen to 15-20 episodes. I dread the day I run out of episodes, and have to re listen to old episodes, and wait for new episodes to be released.Ranching has always been a dream of mine, however I had no intention of stepping into the struggle of conventional ranching. This podcast has given me hope that I can get into grazing animals as a business/career, instead of a expensive lifestyle/hobby.
-
Dr. CalahanOne of the bestGreat show that continues to get better and better! Truly appreciate Cal’s commitment to expanding the art and science of grazing ruminants. Not a wasted episode. Listen to them all.
-
West TN new rancherLove it!This is the first podcast I stumbled across when starting my grazing research and it's the only one I listen to consistently. I enjoy hearing the stories from both the beginners and those who have grown up around livestock their whole lives. With each episode I gain a little nugget that I'd like to incorporate into my own operation this year -- from fencing, to watering systems, to leasing land and so much more.
-
TaMBarkExcellent InterviewThe Crossing Creek Farm interview with Elizabeth was educational and enjoyable. I respect their regenerative approach, their dedication, and that they share their healthy lifestyle with us.
-
Jake DeWoodyHonest, humble, informative and entertaining.I’m so thankful that the Apple Podcast algorithm pushed this channel out to me. The Grazing Grass Podcast was my first introduction to American agricultural podcasts and I’ve been following along ever since. Cal is a wonderful host and has opened many doors for me to explore the thoughts and operations of livestock producers across the country. From small hobby operators such as myself to generational family farms and many in between. Great show and thank you for what you do Cal! P.S. I’m especially enjoying the Friday episode format. The deeper dive into specific subjects is well received.
-

-
Cjones414Great for any level of grazing experienceCal does a fantastic job facilitating conversations and bringing value in every episode. Lots of unique operations.
-
DrewB-nemoHighly RecommendedI would highly recommend this podcast for anyone who is interested in managing their pasture or looking to get into cattle or sheep grazing. Cal does a nice job of trying to get interviews from fellow grazers that are from all over the country and are diversified in their operations. Once you download you will definitely find some podcasts that will fit your niche in the grazing world.
