“We, as stewards of the land, recognize that all things in nature are interconnected. This is why we believe in and practice regenerative ranching. Regenerative ranching involves a holistic view and approach that holds that all things contribute to the whole. Audubon’s Conservation Ranching Program helps us to ensure that grassland birds’ habitats are preserved and protected as an integral part of our ecosystem and it ensures that all animals raised on certified ranches are ethically raised and free of antibiotics and hormones. When you purchase meat raised on our certified ranch you participate with us in the protection of our grassland birds and help to secure the legacy of conservation-focused ranches in the USA. We know you care about what your family eats, where it comes from, and how it is supported … well, so do we.” – Lisa and Lance Wheeler, Operators of Rafter W Ranch, an Audubon-Certified Ranch
