STERLING RANCH, CO - APRIL 11: A young calf walks in the calving fields in open space on April 11, 2022 in Sterling Ranch, Colorado. The Clough family leases land in open space in and around the Sterling Ranch Planned Community. Spring heralds the birth of new calves for the ranchers who have almost doubled their herd size of about 220 cattle with the new calves. The cows are part of a rotational grazing program at Sterling Ranch which is home to 1325 residences and about 3500 residents. Harold Smethills, founder and chair of the development company, has brought old techniques of grazing and applied it to a modern world filled with houses instead of horses. The technique is called rotational cattle grazing which allows cattle to graze freely in open space. The technique helps breathe new life into the earth, experts say. Farmers and ranchers typically use rotational grazing, but Smethills脮 property is the first time it脮s been used in a housing development. Essentially,脢three things naturally 脪disturbed脫 or destroyed the land in a good way before human development, ultimately sparking regeneration and new growth: fire, prairie dogs and grazing large wild herds, explains Lauren Connell, director of stewardship for the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. By reintroducing periodic grazing with herds of cattle, humans can re-create a bit of the healthy destruction and create new life, Connell said. Photo by Helen H. Richardson/The Denver Post)
