The Grazing Grass Podcast features insights and stories of regenerative farming, specifically emphasizing grass-based livestock management. Our mission is to foster a community where grass farmers can share knowledge and experiences with one another. We delve into their transition to these practices, explore the ins and outs of their operations, and then move into the "Over Grazing" segment, which addresses specific challenges and learning opportunities. The episode rounds off with the "Famous Four" questions, designed to extract valuable wisdom and advice. Join us to gain practical tips and inspiration from the pioneers of regenerative grass farming. This is the podcast for you if you are trying to answer: What are regenerative farm practices? How to be grassfed? How do I graze other species of livestock? What's are ways to improve pasture and lower costs? What to sell direct to the consumer?

177. How Tango Holsteins Embraces Regenerative Dairy Without the Buzzwords with Tom Otton

Tom Otton joins us from the far south coast of Australia to share his journey from growing up on a beef farm to operating a grazing-based dairy with his family. Tom discusses the evolution of his practices, including a heavy focus on multi-species pastures, no-till methods, and regenerative grazing—long before he even knew the word “regenerative.” He shares thoughtful insights on cow genetics, virtual fencing, and the challenges of balancing tradition with innovation, especially in the context of Australia’s extreme weather and regulatory environment.

  • Transition from beef farming to dairy during Australia’s millennium drought
  • Grazing-based dairy practices with multi-species pastures
  • Implementing high-density rotation with 2–4 shifts per day
  • Adoption and legality of virtual fencing in Australia
  • Using sexed semen and beef crosses for herd improvement and profitability
  • Winter planting of cereal and forage blends; native summer grass systems
  • Infrastructure layout with laneways, river watering, and no indoor housing
  • Honest insights on power costs, robotic milkers, and future tech
  • Personal reflections on footwear, decision-making, and doing what works for you

 Tom’s down-to-earth approach to grazing-based dairying in a region with both drought and flood extremes offers valuable perspective for anyone in livestock. Whether you're intrigued by virtual fencing, cow genetics, or just love hearing how others adapt regenerative principles across the globe, Tom delivers a mix of practical know-how and big-picture thinking.
