Against the Herd – Film Screening and Panel with the Stars
VirtualAgainst the Herd is the amazing story of the Smith family and their Cottonwood Ranch in Nevada, and how they intersect with the future of America's public lands. Almost a century of poorly managed grazing degraded millions of acres of America’s public lands. But Cottonwood Ranch has discovered that cattle can actually be the key to restoring our rangelands.
Now the Smith family must convince legislators and agencies that cows aren't always eco-villains, or they could lose it all. Rancher Agee Smith and Prof. Jared Talley, who both star in the film, and filmmaker Jaxon Derow will join us to take audience questions following the screening!
