Volume 84 Farm&Ranch
Wyoming v Albany County
T
he Olson Ranch is a rare property that doesn’t come along very often. A magnificent 1,600-acre ranch with everything one would want in the West—premier fishing, great hunting, spectacular views, productive hay meadows, and a true western legacy. At one time there were four generations living and working together, raising mother cows and their calves and putting up hay. It was 1900 when John and Hulda Olson moved to the ranch. The original purchase was so small that the Olsons soon began buying land nearby. The lower and upper meadows to the south were bought in 1905 and 1909. Land was also available for homesteading east of the Olson Ranch, on the west side of Sheep Mountain, and at intervals John, Hulda and Charley Olson, John’s brother, and eventually John and Hulda’s son, Harry, proved up on land. For many years, the Olson Ranch was a station for the exchange of passengers and mail on the way to and from Albany and Keystone, and during the stop the passengers always enjoyed a hot meal of Mrs. Olson’s Scandinavian cooking. Many of these travelers were timber workers and they developed kindred feelings with the Olsons for they, too, were from Sweden, the “old country”. The Olsons realized early the quality fishing on the ranch and have had anglers since the 1930s. In 1927, Wana Clay, a widow with her four little boys, moved from Missouri to Laramie to be closer to her father who owned acreage just outside of Laramie. Wana taught in rural schools and was very active during her 40 years involvement in education in Wyoming. After a long courtship, she married Harry Olson in 1954. FarmAndRanch.com

After the death of Harry Olson and retiring from her teaching career in 1964, Wana was the driving force behind the “dude business”. Guests came from all over the world to experience the beauty of Centennial Valley, life on a working cattle ranch, and, of course, great fishing. Wana would stand on the back porch waving good-bye to fishermen while one-dollar bills were peeking out of her apron pocket. The ranch is still family owned and operated “the cowboy way,” riding horseback and using stock dogs on the annual cattle drive moving cows to the USFS summer pasture after wintering the cattle in the valley on the river. The Olson Ranch is proud of their heritage and being good stewards of the land. Olson Ranch is approximately half river bottom and half high-country pasture. Sitting at 8,000 feet elevation, the ranch produces some of the best native grass hay. The ranch is irrigated with spring runoff and senior water rights through ditches from the Little Laramie River. The high-country pasture is a good mix of grasses and offers additional grazing with breathtaking views and excellent access to the high country of Sheep Mountain for recreation and hunting.
10 Volume 84 Farm&Ranch
Hunting on the Olson Ranch is extraordinary and offers good elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and varmints. Bull elk into the 370s are taken annually. The ranch has had very little hunting pressure, and this helps ensure a quality herd. The gem of the Olson Ranch is the nearly four miles of blue-ribbon water; fishing in this stretch of the Little Laramie River is truly legendary. The owners are excellent stewards of the land and understand fish and fisheries very well. They practice catch and release angling and that, combined with streambed improvements, has enhanced, maintained, and improved one of the West’s truly great streams. The Little Laramie in this area produces many fish up to and over 30 inches in both brown and rainbow trout. Kelly Creek (or Spring Creek as the owners call it) also feeds into the Little Laramie and produces some amazing fish with its beautiful waters. A variety of trout including brown, rainbow, brook and cutthroat can be caught at the Olson Ranch.

Good for the Herd, and the Birds
Colorado ranchers Dan Lorenz and Adrienne Larrew wanted to raise their Corner Post Meats branded livestock and poultry on pasture to produce nutritious meat and benefit bird habitat.

ood production can harmonize with nature. Dan Lorenz and Adrienne Larrew of Black Forest, Colo., know this and raise meat animals in accord with the landscape. The successes of their business, Corner Post Meats, in both healthy meat products and regenerative agriculture practices spurred the National Audubon Society to create their Conservation Ranching initiative. Lorenz and Larrew began raising cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry on pasture in Dubois, Wyo. They sold the meat to family and friends around the state and across the border in Colorado. The couple recognized that the Front Range region’s higher population would expand their customer base, so they, and their animals, relocated to a 40acre leased ranchette north of Colorado Springs. Soon, to meet the feed requirements of their
14 Volume 84 Farm&Ranch
burgeoning herds and flocks, the ranchers needed access to more pasture. Lorenz and Larrew also wanted to source additional products for Corner Post Meats customers. The first challenge was gaining more grass. Lorenz and Larrew lived down the road from the National Audubon Society’s Kiowa Creek Ranch. Lorenz heard the ranch’s 1,500 acres of grassland lay idle. He cold-called Audubon to request a grazing lease. The couple pitched their idea to use the ranch for multi-species livestock grazing. Kiowa Creek Ranch was gifted to Audubon over a decade ago to protect it from suburban development. The donor’s foresight preserved it as an oasis amid mass-produced houses huddled on cul de sacs, and big-box stores enclosed in paved parking lots. “The amount of urban development in the Black Forest area is devastating,” says Alison
Holloran, Audubon Rockies director and National Audubon Society vice president. “The ponderosa pine and grassland ecosystem of Kiowa Creek is the only of its kind left in Colorado. “Kiowa Creek is one of the last continuous swaths of ponderosa grassland, but, under no management, weeds overtook the land. When Dan [Lorenz] and Adrienne [Larrew] approached me, I immediately agreed. The ranch is a refuge for birds and wildlife in that area, and I knew we could manage it better with the tool of livestock grazing.”
Healing the Land
Lorenz and Larrew set up their multispecies grazing on Kiowa Creek with cattle, sheep, hogs, and poultry raised inside portable electric fences with guardian dogs to protect the animals from predators. To holistically manage Kiowa Creek, the couple studied silvopasture techniques to utilize the mixed woodland-grassland savanna as food and shelter for livestock. In 2013, before Lorenz and Larrew arrived on Kiowa Creek, the 14,280-acre Black Forest Fire burned through the ranch. In total, the fire destroyed nearly 500 homes in the area and two people died. “What spurred that awful fire was the lack of fire for so many years,” Holloran explains. “Before we built big houses, fires swept across the landscape and kept it in check. The ponderosa grassland ecosystem, in its former natural state, consisted of a big pine tree surrounded by grassland, and then, a quarter-mile away from it, another big pine. Instead, it had become a dog-hair stand, thin trees grew closely together, which fueled the fire.” In the aftermath of the fire, invasive plant species, such as Canada thistle and common mullein, grew more quickly than the native grasses and forbs. The Corner Post cattle, sheep, and pigs diminished these invasive species to restore balanced natural plant diversity. “Pigs love to eat thistle and mullein,” Lorenz says. “They turn the pine needle layer and their manure

into the soil as they root. This clears pine needles to give space for plants to grow, awakens dormant plant seeds, and enriches the soil. Also, when we move pigs into a pasture, may contain 300 baby ponderosa pines. The pigs thin them out to leave the 10 strongest. Historically, small fires did that.”
The Black Forest Fire burned so hotly it sterilized much of Kiowa Creek’s soils. The pigs help the soils recover fertility by churning in organic matter, which creates a bumpy surface. “When it rains, the wallows fill with water for birds to bathe in,” Larrew adds of created habitat. “The puddles provide FarmAndRanch.com

And, Lorenz and to the same places, habitat decay greatly Larrew wanted to broaden their impact affects them. on landscape health beyond Kiowa Audubon’s bird counts record Creek’s 1,500 acres. that over 100 species use the ranch to “We want to encourage ranchers to migrate, breed, or winter. This is almost regenerate the land though grazing,” half of the 210 total bird species detected Lorenz says of their goal, “by Corner Post
being their sales outlet for animals. This way, we can scale up our positive impact on the land and for our customers.” “There are a lot of ranchers doing amazing things for the land,” Larrew adds. “But they have zero desire to live this close to town, work with chefs and butchers, and manage packaging and distribution. Corner Post can be the connection between ranchers and customers. We provide the ease of online shopping and ship to your front door.”
Business for Regenerative Ag
Lorenz and Larrew spread the word of their business expansion and recruited other ranchers from Colorado and Wyoming to sell under their brand. Some ranchers raise the animals and ship directly to Corner Post’s processor. Others manage the breeding and birthing, and then move the young animals to Kiowa Creek to finish their growth.

partners with multi-species and holistic grazing practices. “An easy adjustment is to place escape ladders in your water tanks,” Larrew explains. “It can be log or a metal ramp to help a bird that may fall into the water when drinking out of the tank. This simple thing can save the lives of thousands of birds.” With more ranchers able to fulfill the demand for Corner Post Meats, Lorenz and Larrew concentrate on supply chain. In this process, the couple divided business responsibilities—Lorenz takes care of everything that involves an animal with a heartbeat, and once the meat is in a package it becomes Larrew’s task.
“We essentially run a logistics business to figure out how to move live animals from pasture to the processing facility,” Larrew says. “Then we transport the meat products to cold storage, and onto the customer. It’s several minibusinesses within one business. It’s not just about grazing for plant diversity or animal health anymore. All of that absolutely matters, but ultimately our paycheck comes from tasty meat in a package and someone buying it.” Last year Corner Post transferred wholesale shipments to a distributor. “It’s awesome,” Larrew says of the shift. “They already run a trucking business,
and we don’t want to.” Larrew still manages disbursement to individual customers out of Kiowa Creek’s converted garage. A walk-in freezer fills the former footprint of two cars. The dry ice truck winds down the ranch’s lengthy gravel driveway to deliver on Monday. Larrew and her mom, Lee Larrew, box the frozen meat orders for pick up on Tuesday and Wednesday. Currently, Larrew interviews fulfillment centers to determine the cost efficiencies of such a center holding Corner Post inventory and fulfilling orders. “A center holds a dramatically cheaper dry ice contract then we can ever get here,” Larrew explains, “and ships for a lower cost.” These logistical steps will connect customer demand for quality meat from animals reared on healthy landscapes, to more ranchers that practice regenerative grazing. Through this growth, Lorenz and Larrew enlarge the beneficial impact on wildlife habitat.
Ranching for Conservation

Rejuvenation of Kiowa Creek’s grasslands through grazing livestock prompted Audubon to develop its Conservation Ranching certification program. Corner Post Meats was the first enrollee in 2015. “Truly, the birds lead us to everywhere we work,” Holloran says of Audubon’s agriculture initiative. “The U.S. Committee on North American Bird Conservation Initiative released its 2019 State of the Bird report that shows we’ve lost three billion birds, a 29 percent decrease across North America. “The grassland and rangeland species are the most periled suite of birds. The threats are different according to location. In the Dakotas, it’s tillage to grow row crops. In eastern Wyoming, it’s energy development. It’s suburban development in Colorado, such as besieges Kiowa Creek. Our lands are sliced and diced a million ways.” Ranchers own or manage most of the grasslands and rangelands in the U.S. To preserve this habitat for birds, Audubon recognized ranchers need
a fiscally solvent business for them to stay on the land. As with Corner Post, ranchers’ paychecks come from people buying meat products from the ranchers’ animals. Audubon supports this economic reality through its Conservation Ranching program’s Audubon Certified label. It attests, verified by the Food Alliance, that meat originates from an animal “Grazed on Bird-Friendly Land.” This validates for consumers which package of steak in the grocery cooler was raised by ag practices that enhanced landscape health. “For decades, people have bought the cheapest protein possible,” Larrew explains. “The ag market responded by reducing the time it takes to grow an animal, through concentrated grain feed and hormone additives, to lower the meat price. I think the ultimate vote of how agriculture operates comes from the food dollar. We all eat every day. We can choose to buy meat raised ethically and environmentally.” “Most weaned calves, lambs, and pigs eat grain because it’s the cheapest and quickest way for them to grow,” Lorenz adds. “That grain was grown on plowed ground that formerly held native prairie vital to many bird species. Some ranchers finish their animals on pasture, as we do at Corner Post. But it’s difficult to sell grass-finished beef, which is more expansive to raise, in the open market. The Audubon Certified label helps explain the economic and conservation distinction to people.” Partners Adrienne Larrew and Dan Lorenz founded Corner Post Meats to raise livestock and
Audubon Certified
To gain certification by Audubon, ranchers must adopt a habitat management plan that addresses their site-specific habitat goals and bird conservation opportunities. Corner Post’s plan for Kiowa Creek improves woodland’s structural diversity, regeneration, and fuel management. Its objectives bolster native perennial grass and forb diversity, riparian habitat and the alluvial water table, and the soil profile. Kiowa Creek hosts several priority grassland bird species, including Prairie
poultry on pasture.
falcon, Northern goshawk, Swainson’s hawk, and Loggerhead shrike. Ideal habitat, for birds and wildlife, is not found in the monoculture row cropping system that often grows corn, soybeans, wheat, or peas. It is in the grasslands grazed by meat animals, and the livestock, as shown by Corner Post, can facilitate excellent habitat. Audubon Certified meats come from livestock that grazes open grasslands with minimal cereal-based feed supplementation. Through the certification, Audubon
supports ranchers aiming to improve both food and landscape. “With the Audubon Certified seal,” Holloran says, “you know that your food dollar helps keep grasslands functioning as crucial habitat.” It enables customers to identify meat production that protects and nurtures grassland bird habitat, because, as Lorenz and Larrew demonstrate, what’s good for the herd, is good for the bird.

ATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK. Gated and private ocean-view craftsman estate in Ventura. THE GOULD RESIDENCE. This panoramic ocean-view treasure was designed by Henry Mather Greene of Greene & Greene Architects, Pasadena, Calif. It is the only Greene & Greene design in Ventura and one of the most highly documented designs of the firm on record. The home was built between 1923 and 1924 with additional work completed into the 1940s. There are three master bedroom suites as well as two additional bedrooms, for a total of five bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 4,300 square feet. The estate sits on 1.75 acres. The Mills Act is currently in place, as well as a conservation easement held by the Pasadena Heritage Society, giving you a huge tax savings incentive. This is the only Henry Mather Greene house on the National Register of Historic Places and hand-built by local contractor Clark Still and his team. It is one of the last homes Henry Greene designed, and it is noted that he liked the house and the family very well, exchanging Christmas cards for years following construction. Attention to detail is evident everywhere you look in the house. Because of the tedious hand-sanding of the wood trim Henry demanded, the workmen would take off work a few days at a time to heal their hands. The original landscaping was designed by Theodore Payne, a noted Los Angeles specialist and pioneer in the use of native plants, some still in evidence today. $3,285,000. www.402LynnDr.com.

Ranch Resiliency Grazing cattle to increase biodiversity, balanced equally with financial sustainability, connects people and landscape. BY MELISSA HEMKEN

orking landscapes are Montana’s most important natural resource. Over 70 percent of the state’s lands are rangelands and pasturelands that livestock graze. The healthy biodiversity of working landscapes is crucial to the financial resiliency of ranch businesses and ecosystem regeneration. Montana’s J Bar L Ranch emphasizes resiliency at all levels of its cattle and land management. To do so, the J Bar L crew implements an extensive biodiversity monitoring program to inform its grazing management plan. J Bar L prioritizes diversity for both its working landscapes and income sources. Andrew Anderson, the J Bar L ranch manager, says the ranch owner and crew seek “to have a business and landscape that is resilient among all of the crazy changes within agriculture and
weather. We want some routine and predictability, while also adjusting and reacting in a good, proactive way.” No matter the location or season, J Bar L seeks to graze its cattle on grass as much as possible. Its cattle graze 80,000 acres, of which 20 percent is deeded land. The ranch’s operations stretch across Montana from its deeded summer range in Centennial Valley in the southwestern corner to its lease of a Broadus-area ranch in the southeast part of the state. Centered in between, lies the J Bar L’s deeded winter ground near Big Timber. To guide its grazing plan, from plains to mountains, the J Bar L crew implements extensive biodiversity monitoring. “Profitability, and that this ranch can sustain us working here, is incredibly important,” Anderson says. “I spend a

huge amount of my time on that, and the regeneration of our working landscapes—the wildlife, the soil. In the Centennial Valley, beaver returned after a 40-year absence.” J Bar L employs third-party monitors to assess species composition across the plant community and plant litter versus bare soil percentages. Additionally, Anderson works with Montana-based agroecologist Nicole Masters to utilize soil probes and water infiltration tests to evaluate soil health. Through its biodiversity monitoring program, the J Bar L tracks the grass levels available across its ranchlands. This enables Anderson and his crew to stock each unit to its full capacity while simultaneously ensuring that plants and soil remain optimally balanced for healthy re-growth.

thinner leaf width, and less biomass. This year, we adjust our rotation. We’ll ship up a little later than typical. We may ship out earlier. We’ll rest some of those pastures for a full growing season, and graze them in the fall. “Our planning isn’t perfect. It’s nice to have a system to show the trends, though. Then, we can be flexible with our operation and business to address a negative impact.” It is a challenge to shift the season of use within a grazing plan.

how to make use of our unrealized, potential forage resources,” Anderson says. “The Centennial Valley topography, steep hillsides covered in sagebrush, makes stringing polywire super time-consuming. We have one 2,500acre unit with only a single water source. We use riders to herd the animals to achieve more stock density for the grazing to beneficially impact the grass and soil. That is the foundation for everything, wildlife included.” J Bar L aims for stock density at 50,000 pounds per acre. Anderson says that animals feel comfortable grazing within that stock density. To measure this, the J Bar L experiments with the MapItFast smartphone app. A rider can use the app to mark waypoints and track the path he rides around the herd’s perimeter. He can count the cattle and check the acreage on the app to quickly learn the cattle pounds per acre to figure stock density. Anderson uploads this data onto a digital map of a pasture to record where and for how long cattle grazed an area. Plant biomass monitoring, documented before and after cattle graze an area, adds detail to knowing the stock day consumption per stock density rates. By layering onto this data the precipitation events that affect the grass yield, it is Anderson’s goal to fairly accurately predict stock density and stock grazing days for a certain pasture.
handling can rekindle herd instinct. “People often make it stressful when they gather cattle into a herd,” he says. “When we tell cattle that a herd is an unsafe place, they will scatter away from it as soon as possible.” The J Bar L crew continues to ponder how to test if keeping mother cows and heifers in family groups would increase herd instinct. “The standard is to wean calves and separate them from the mother cows,” Anderson explains, “Nowhere in nature are herds of animals all the same age, though. Family groups with strong herd instincts would also, like elk and bison, defend themselves against predators. We haven’t experimented with it yet, because we haven’t figured out how to do it operationally.” Anderson muses that heifer calves, with nose clips to prevent them from nursing, could be kept with their mother cows to maintain the family bond. Perhaps, heifer calves could be separated for a time and then returned to their mother cows. These management practices could allow cows to stop lactating to maximize their breed back potential. Then, it is a question of how to supplemental feed the different age classes over winter, because bred cows and replacement heifers require different nutrition. Some day, Anderson hopes, the
J Bar L can keep 50 head of heifer calves with their mothers to test the theory of how herd instinct is taught through family groups. “Same-age herds, like yearlings, are peer-to-peer as in a high school,” Anderson says. “They learn from each other, instead of from adults. If heifers were around adult cattle, they may learn more instincts. It would be interesting to see how it would affect the herd dynamic. There’s so much that can be passed on from one generation to the next. Not only herd behavior, but also cattle’s knowledge of pasture layouts and topography.” J Bar L continues to improve their cattle genetics to maximize resiliency. Galloway and Devon genetics were incorporated to breed efficient cows of small-to-moderate frames that will maintain body condition and readily breed back while grazing throughout the winter. Recently, Aubrac bloodlines were added for the French breed’s thick muscling and strong mothering instinct. As Anderson and his crew learn more about cattle genetics, stock handling, and grazing methods, they continually evaluate old and new ranch practices. J Bar L roots all of its management decisions in its desire for resiliency in its business financials and working landscapes. It is a balance that mutually benefits people and the landscape.
Herd Instinct Generates Efficiencies
With herding cattle to graze a valuable management tool, the J Bar L crew seeks to foster the natural herd instinct in their cattle. Anderson attributes herd instinct to stock handling methods. “We’ve noticed that, when we consistently handle our cattle, they are easy to manage,” he explains. “Our homeraised yearlings, even when they’re in large herds in the summertime, just hang around the general area where we place them. When we custom graze yearlings, or purchase stockers, those yearlings have a tendency to travel long distances. It can take weeks to track them all down again.” Anderson says low-stress livestock
