Steve Kenyon owns a custom grazing business in Alberta, Canada under the name of Greener Pastures Ranching Ltd. He currently runs just over 1400 head of livestock on 3500 acres of leased land with regenerative grazing management. By using extended grazing techniques he is able to pasture cattle year round. This is done by using a combination of intensive cell grazing, dormant season grazing, swath grazing, crop residue grazing and bale grazing. Steve has become well respected in the agriculture community for his business management and innovative ideas.
