Alejandro Carrillo - Regenerative Ranching in the Desert - Part 1
Alejandro Carrillo is a regenerative rancher who is widely respected for his achievements in restoring his ranch in the Chihuahuan Desert, using grazing management techniques.
In this workshop, Alejandro shared his story of how he uses regenerative and holistic practices to improve the condition and production of his ranch in Mexico, and how we can apply these lessons in Australian landscapes. He describes the principles of his practices, which can be adapted and applied in any context.
This workshop provided livestock farmers with tools to manage pastures to maintain plant and soil health that builds resilience to drought. It is part of the Perennial Pastures for Drought Defence Project which provides support tools for pasture selection, establishment and grazing management for drought resilience in low and medium rainfall areas. We welcome anyone to join this project.
We thank Alejandro for sharing his knowledge with us. And for his generosity in allowing us to record and share this video to the public.

You are amazing! Have created an oasis in the Chihuahua desert by raising livestock without chemicals and grass only. Leaving a better earth for future generations and living a consciously good life. Thank you Alejandro Carrillo!!!
Great information! I also want to compliment the camera person and the editing. Very good video with so much useable information. Thanks.
If you're interested in what sheep and cattle can do back East with several years of regenerative ranching check out Greg Judy's channel. He makes from-the-field videos (rough and unedited) 2 or 3x each week year around. Just in this year did they learn how to have fly-free cattle (no chemicals, no garlic, no vinegar--just GRASS). It happened right after they started moving them 3x per day about a month ago. The mid-day move put the animals onto the plants at top energy levels-they were already quite fat and healthy . The carbohydrate content of green plants is highest when the sun is high and photosynthesis is at it's maximum. Yes flies were still buzzing around, but the cattle had none on them. Greg mentioned the pH measure of the urine changes and that's when the flies quit biting them. I had read that insects do not feed on the healthiest plants, but now I've seen insects "give up" on biting bovines because of chemical changes directly related to how the animals are eating-what they are eating. It's a wonderfully natural thing.
Added this to my interesting by others playlist so more people may find it! Great Content!
Very interesting
The earth's desertification, obvious in satellite images, is crying for managers who understand these principles

Alejandro - no puedo complimentarle suficientemente por sus esfuerzos y su sabiduria - PERO - veo que en el Internet sus videos en ingles son vibrantes, llenos de buena informacion, aun comicos - los en espanol son muy formales y casi aburridos.. Seria posible de proveer BUENAS sutitulos en espanol de los videos ingleses? El ano pasado yo (soy Ingles) estaba en Mexico, y no pude recomendar videos en espanol a los rancheros que encontre.

I had one grunch but the eggplant over there. A drive by comment to help with the YT algorithm.

What do you think of the idea of injecting liquid clay into desert sand in order to allow fallen water some resistance?
I want a ranch

You do not have to own the land. See "Risk Free Ranching" by Greg Judy. Make your goals and get started on them. I'm working on the fence.
