For Cory Carman, choosing to raise cattle outside of the feedlot system always seemed intuitive. Upon leaving her family farm to study agriculture at Stanford, she took up a work-study program investigating the economic viability of grass-fed beef.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the first time I’d been around a lot of people that really thought eating beef was awful. And it was the first time I’d been around feedlots before,\u201d she says. \u201cDriving the I-5 between LA and San Francisco, I was like, \u2018Oh, this is what people think cattle ranching is.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Carman didn\u2019t intend to stay on the ranch on which she grew up. Yet when she returned to the farm in Wallowa, Oregon, in 2003, only her grandmother and uncle were left running the operation. She witnessed how difficult it was for them to work the ranch alone. It quickly became clear: There was no place like home to try raising better beef.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt seem[ed] so simple, 20 years ago,\u201d she says. \u201c\u2018We just don’t send them to the feedlot.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her \u201csimple\u201d idea was well timed. The same year that Carman returned to her family farm, a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as mad cow disease, was detected in the US. It was the first of only six such cases in the US, but\u00a0 it sparked safety concerns for consumers who were aware of the UK\u2019s <\/span>massive outbreak<\/span><\/a> of BSE, with human casualties, in the 1990s. For some, the notion of eating beef from cattle raised on wide open land and all-grass diets <\/span>took on the perception<\/span><\/a> as a safer, more natural choice. And, one that must also be more sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Four years later, in 2007, the USDA issued a label standard for grass-fed beef. <\/span>Consumer interest continued to grow<\/span><\/a>. Between 2012 and 2016, sales of grass-fed beef rose by $255 million, with nearly <\/span>3,900 producers across the U.S.<\/span><\/a>\u2014including Carman\u2014 identifying as grass-fed beef ranchers.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016, the government standard for grass-fed labeling <\/span>was dropped<\/span><\/a>, yet demand for the segment has not cooled. U.S. grass-fed beef sales reached <\/span>$776 million in 2022<\/span><\/a>. But the optimism over grass-fed beef as a remedy for sustainability issues in the beef industry hasn\u2019t necessarily kept pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
The market for grass-fed beef continues to grow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When it comes to sustainability, the conversation about grass-fed versus feedlot-finished beef is complicated. The use of land for grazing cattle, as opposed to more productive crops or carbon-sequestering forests and prairies, is a key issue for critics of the beef industry\u2014and grass-fed cows require more land than those finished in grain in feedlots. And for grass-fed and finished cows specifically, a longer lifespan equates to <\/span>more total methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, released<\/span><\/a> into the atmosphere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But <\/span>emissions may not tell the whole story<\/span><\/a>. Proponents point out that livestock brought up on ranges filled with native, carbon-sequestering plants can prevent erosion, improve soil health and significantly reduce the total environmental footprint of a ranching operation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2007, an agent from Oregon\u2019s Natural Resources Conservation Service began discussing regenerative soil management with Cory Carman. As she tells it, \u201cHe started saying things like, \u2018Soil health is the future of everything.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heeding those words, a neighboring farmer began testing various new cover crops. Carman saw how deep the benefits could go. Not only were the long roots of these native grasses and herbs capable of carbon capture and nutrient retention, they were also a foraged food source for her livestock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carman uses the principles of regenerative soil management on the ranch.\u00a0<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As Carman Ranch the brand built a following on dedicated grass-fed principles, Carman the farmer began to consider how those lessons in soil management and regenerative agriculture could be scaled up to make a meaningful impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s so little that is durable on a single operation,\u201d she says. \u201cWithout a market to support better practices, without a community to support innovation and moving the needle, it’s hard to make anything that we do as individuals very durable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Carman began collaborating with another fourth-generation family farmer. The two women sold their grass-fed products to New Seasons Market in Portland as well as offering direct delivery and pickup points for customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI really started to see the power of building a network to support a supply chain,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eager to develop a new organizational structure that addresses the challenges of the beef supply chain and centers soil health, Carman recruited another<\/span> group that was also selling grass-fed beef to New Seasons Market. Along with her initial partner, seven more producers from across Montana, Oregon and Washington joined the Carman Ranch collective. Each was already committed to shared principles of conservation and holistic range management.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carman says of the collective: \u201cIt’s our experimental example of the type of groups that could emerge to help further regenerative practices.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Native grasses and herbs store carbon in the ground and provide forage for cattle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Carman Ranch collective now spans 220,000 acres and has been certified as \u201cTier 3\u201d under the Regenified framework. Regenified is a regenerative agriculture certification program, which creates quantifiable testing protocols and measurements for farmers looking to verify their practices to consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under this tier, 40 percent to 60 percent of the land base within Carman Ranch farms operates under regenerative principles. The testing methods relate to how and what a herd is fed, crop and herd rotation, tillage frequency and other soil health standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to aligning data with ranching experience on the ground, the Regenified certification has also pushed Carman and her partners to experiment further. Members have trialed techniques such as <\/span>seaweed inclusion diets<\/span><\/a>, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On her family ranch, Carman reports using a high-precision methane measuring system called GreenLock. The system captures accurate data on the amount of greenhouse gases produced by her herd, which allows Carman to set viable goals for methane reduction that can be achieved through strategies such as altering feed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As Regenified audits continue, Carman aims to see more of the collective\u2019s acreage\u2014and herds\u2014meet the rigorous soil health standards of the program and the Carman Ranch vision. She sees it as <\/span>a new opportunity to challenge the notion that her family industry can\u2019t become more sustainable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, Carman believes the answers are found at a scale just (slightly) bigger than one rancher.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>My theory of change is that regenerative agriculture will be supported through regional networks. And that scale will look like the connectivity of regional networks that are size appropriate, more resilient and more place specific.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
