Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AoR 189: "Sailing true" on waves of grass with Pono VonHolt on Hawai'i
Q: How does the operation manage water and watershed concerns on Kohala Mountain?
We work across multiple elevations, with a significant emphasis on watershed partnerships with public and private lands to collect and store water, including multi-million gallon reservoirs. We coordinate with state agencies to protect water resources, maintain surface water, and support invasive species control via access agreements that benefit both conservation and cattle production.
AoR 189: "Sailing true" on waves of grass with Pono VonHolt on Hawai'i
Q: What prompted the shift to intensive grazing, and what outcomes did you see on the pasture?
We adopted intensive grazing in the mid-80s, fencing the whole property and focusing on rest cycles and strategic animal impact. The result was a doubling of production in some areas and a long-term profitability increase starting in the 90s, with grazing managed to sustain higher stocking rates without sacrificing grass health.
AoR 189: "Sailing true" on waves of grass with Pono VonHolt on Hawai'i
Q: How did you ultimately get cattle from Hawaii to the mainland, and what challenges did you face?
We started with roll-on/roll-off ships and trailers, then moved to containerized shipments that could handle 350–400 head per voyage; Canada was used as a waypoint because US landings were restricted, and the process required assembling large lots and coordinating with shipping lines. It became a scalable system that enabled steady access to mainland markets and branded beef programs.
AoR 186: Doug Tolleson on Grazing Nutrition and a Century of Data
Q: What outputs come from the fecal analysis and how are they used in practice?
Key outputs include diet crude protein, diet digestibility, fecal nitrogen, and fecal phosphorus, which practitioners use to guide grazing decisions, supplementation timing, and to build nutritional baselines for different herd scenarios.
AoR 180: Doug Poole on Integrating Grazing into Cropping Systems for Rangeland & Soil Health
Q: What happened to the soil and why? What role do livestock play in turning it around?
Doug describes historical degradation from overgrazing and aggressive tillage, then explains how integrating grazing with crops and using diverse rotations helps rebuild soil structure, biology, and health, with a focus on cover crops and reduced chemical inputs.
