Regenerate Forest with Endangered Cattle

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

I'm Mike, a farmer at Ozark Akerz Regenerative Farm, farming in harmony with nature. My wife Sue and I have been restoring and regenerating forests on our farm by allowing endangered Pineywoods Cattle to forage in them since 2015. So far their varied appetite and wild foraging has helped restore 15 acres (6 hectares).


Please help us fence another 63 acres (25.5 hectares) of forest so we can allow our Pineywoods herd to eat and control invasive plant species (they eat brambles, greenbrier, kudzu, privet, even poison ivy!), improve biodiversity and allow trees to capture over 800,000 lbs (363,000 kg) of CO2 annually.

The funds we raise will be used to cover the cost of:

  • Surveying
  • 1.9 miles (3 km) of Fencing
  • Creating access trails
  • Culverts for seasonal streams as required


If you are new to regenerative farming, check out our video about how endangered Heritage Breed farm animals are vital to the health of our farm.


If you aren't able to contribute money at this time, a share with your friends and family would really be valuable to us as well! Thank you for Grazing Against The Machine !!
