Lucky Dog Ranch
​
For over twenty five years,
we have managed 2-4 horses on 10 irrigated acres in the Gallatin Valley, gaining deeper insight into
sustainable land management.
When we first purchased the property, grass was almost non-existent, with noxious & nuisance weeds dominating the landscape. The soil was compacted, and testing revealed it contained only 1.1% organic matter.
We worked aggressively to
control weeds, implemented a
rotational grazing system, and began to sustainably harvest grasses.
Five years later, tests showed
organic matter levels at 3.9%,
which is proof that with good management (and really good water rights) even a "gravel pit" can be productive.
