About this session
Kick off the winter Grazing Club with an evening focused on practical grass management and better grazing decisions.
This session will dig into the fundamentals of adaptive grazing, including how to read what your pasture is telling you, understand plant recovery, and turn that information into practical, workable grazing plans. The focus is on tools and concepts you can apply on your own operation, no matter where you are starting from.
Whether you are new to rotational grazing or refining a well-established system, you will leave with ideas you can take home and use next season. Expect a relaxed atmosphere, real-world examples, and plenty of opportunity for producer-to-producer learning and discussion.

About The Guest Speaker
Bluesette Campbell was raised by a single mom and grew up on a sheep ranch in south central Montana with her sister. After graduating from university in New York, she began managing a sheep and cattle ranch back in MT where she met her future husband. She is an owner/operator of the B-C Ranch Inc., a third-generation cattle ranch near Meadow Lake, SK, with her husband, Mark. They have two boys, Andrew (23) and Birch (20). For 24 years, they have successfully been in business with Mark’s brother, Scott, and their parents, Don and Bev Campbell. This experience has inspired her to become a Holistic Management Certified Educator, consultant and mentor and public speaker. Bluesette’s interests lie strongly in human resource and team development bolstered by a foundation of lived experience in ranch management, regenerative planned grazing and profit-forward financial planning. The B-C Ranch has been embedded in holistic practice for 40 years and has more than doubled their stocking rate on the same land base due to their grazing stewardship. Bluesette is a self-professed enthusiast of getting cozy with change. When she is not ranching or teaching, you will probably catch her volunteering, gardening unconventionally, practicing chemistry in the kitchen or running (just because she can).
