In this episode, Kevin Cunningham of Shakefork Community Farm shares his experiences in sustainable farming, from managing grass-fed cattle, dairy cows, and pasture-raised poultry to using draft animal power with oxen. Kevin discusses his approach to farm fencing, pasture management, and the challenges posed by the local Roosevelt elk population. He also talks about his apprenticeship program, which offers hands-on experience in both vegetable and animal production. He also provides valuable insights into sustainable farming practices and the benefits of training oxen.Books/Resources Mentioned:Holistic Management Handbook by Alan Savory (Amazon) (Bookshop)Grass-fed Cattle by Julius Ruechel (Amazon) (Bookshop)Social media:Website: https://www.shakeforkcommunityfarm.com/Instagram: @shakeforkoxen, @shakeforkcommunityfarm
