Fire Up Your Beef Production – A Ranchers’ Perspective of Prescribed Burning for Range Management – Fire Across Boundaries

Film submitted by Jef Hodges, Grassland Coordinator, University of Tennessee – National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative, United States

America’s grasslands evolved with fire and grazing. Unfortunately, fire has been largely missing from rangelands for decades and in its absence range health has declined and woody encroachment is robbing producers of productive pastures. Prescribed fire is a proven tool to control woody encroachment and restore range health, increasing livestock production. Fire Up Your Beef Production is aimed at ranchers who are curious about prescribed fire, seeking cost effective range management. The video features ranchers who use prescribed fire on their ranches as they share their experiences related to woody encroachment control, animal performance, forage production, utilization, and economics.
