Love our livestock: Managing livestock grazing is key to protecting and building our fungal network- one of our planets most important systems for absorbing carbon and creating oxygen.

This crucial, carbon-fixing network is over 11,000 lights years long – and it’s under threat August 09, 2026 Right now, beneath almost every patch of soil on Earth, one of the planet's strangest living structures is spreading. It's a fungus, though nothing like the mushrooms on your dinner plate...

Has anyone had any experience with these rubber balls or rhombos to cover Livestock tanks to slow evaporative loss, keep the water cleaner and cooler -and also help prevent freezing in winter?

AWTT floating covers cut ranch and farm water evaporation by up to 98% — keeping stock tanks and ponds full, blocking blue-green algae, and cutting water hauling.

2 year old Steer for sale, ready to butcher. Save money on your Beef this year and eat the best healthiest meat possible. With processing, a full beef works out to about $6 on average for ground beef, tenderloins, steaks, brisket and more. (Our local grocery store is selling ground beef for nearly $10 a pound)

4M Ranch is a Regenerative Ranch, meaning our cows and steers are all grazed on natural pasture, rangeland, and mountain feed none of which have been treated with fertilizer or any chemical chemicals. We use no hormones and our cattle are moved regularly onto fresh feed using regenerative grazing methods and Low stress stock management. Research has shown this method produces the most nutritious beef.
We currently have one steer available. Buy it all or split with a friend or family member.
Steer cost $3,500 Call 970-665-8744 before it’s gone.

Feeling so much gratitude for these wonderful rainy days we’ve been having. You can hear the Earth, and every living thing so grateful for the moisture.

Summertime is time to take the cows up to the mountains-thanks to our great crew led by Iain Davis.

We’re really excited to be using collars from Halter this year that let us see both where the cows are and also contain them in areas.

Being able to corral them virtuallylets us more efficiently graze to reduce tall flammable grasses, but retain enough forage while adding natural fertilizer, manure, for building the soil- which is our top focus at the 4M Ranch -building Soil health on both Private and Public Land.

Do you know what the term “Regenerative” means?

Look for ranches and farms that implement these habits and shop local !!!

“Regenerative farms, in this case, were defined by those using cover crops and grazing animals, while abstaining from ploughing the land and using synthetic fertilizers, insecticides or other pesticides.”

Approach focuses on rebuilding soil health, increasing biodiversity and restoring natural ecosystems

Headed up to the mountains these past few days with our cattle to graze for the summer led by Iain Davis and assisted by Matthew Willey. The new collars by Halter will give us an added tool to manage where they graze and how long they stay so their presence improves the soil- and do not overgraze -while reducing the tall grass in the fall, which can become added fuel for wildfire.

Thank you to Dean Mantle and team for transportation!

Putting the Halter collars on has been a process it takes some time and then a few days to train the cows. Other than one major breakout so far they have been remarkably staying within the lines that are drawn with only perimeter fences along the roads.

Using this new technology, we know not only know where they are but manage their grazing by concentrating them, and moving them frequently onto fresh feed to improve the soil, allowing it to hold moisture and use less irrigation, and importantly get more natural productivity.

Looking forward to participating in the July 4 parade in our Meeker Mustang Makeover group! Look for us in the parade this year again with a group of Mustangs from the Meeker Mustang Makeover past years and see how they have developed from their start! Thank you to all the volunteers who will participate and help! The MMM is in its eighth year and growing every year with more Horses adopted (40 this year alone) and fabulous trainers!
