  • The Great Grazers: Lessons from Bison for Modern Cattle Production with Wes Olsen

    The Great Grazers: Lessons from Bison for Modern Cattle Production with Wes Olsen
    Feb 16 2024

    In the inaugural episode of "The Steward Podcast," we sit down with Wes Olson, a revered wildlife conservationist and bison specialist, to explore the monumental role bison have played in shaping North American landscapes. With over four decades of experience, Olson delves into the historical significance of bison, their ecological contributions, and the striking differences between bison and contemporary cattle practices. This episode not only highlights Olson's profound journey in bison conservation but also examines how lessons from bison management can inform sustainable cattle farming today, advocating for a future where both can thrive for ecological restoration and land management.
