Cattle

Versatile ruminants central to regenerative grazing systems and soil health.

Chickens

Versatile birds valuable for egg production, meat, pest control, and soil fertility in regenerative systems.

Turkeys

Large birds suited for pastured meat production and pest control in regenerative farm systems.

Bees

Essential pollinators supporting biodiversity and crop yields in regenerative landscapes.

Sheep

Hardy grazers well-suited for multi-species rotations and landscape management.

Pigs

Efficient foragers valuable for land clearing and nutrient cycling.

Goats

Adaptable browsers excellent for vegetation management and marginal land use.

Horses

Working animals providing draft power and pasture maintenance.

Rabbits

Small-scale protein source with minimal space and resource requirements.

Waterfowl

Ducks, geese, and other water birds integrating pest control, fertility, and aquatic systems.

Buffalo

Includes American Bison (often called buffalo in North America) and Asian Water Buffalo—two distinct species adapted to different continents and climates.

Other Animals

Specialty animals valuable in specific regenerative contexts and niche systems.
