And then we began adding the other species. So you've got the cattle. And so we look around. Jordan, a lot of what developed here was in the mid-60s, dad looked around and he said, well, 10, 10, 10 chemical fertilizer doesn't build soil. What does build soil? What makes regeneration happen? And it's very simple. There is no animal-less ecology, so you gotta have animals.

Well, what about these animals? Well, they move. Well, if they move, then we have to give them shelter, water, and control. And so all of our innovations that we're now famous for grew out of not, we didn't sit around in a focus group saying, how can we innovate? It was strictly, How does nature work? So how do we mimic that on a domestic scale? That was all. You're basically mimicking migration.

Mimicking the choreography. We call this mob stalking, herbivorous, solar conversion, lignified carbon, sequestration, fertilization. I knew you would enjoy that. Say that again. I did practice that. Okay, let's hear it again. Mob stalking, herbivorous solar conversion, lignified carbon sequestration.

Yeah, plenty scientific. So then we say, well... How does this maintain sanitation? You've got all this manure and urine and stuff. Well, birds. Birds follow herbivores. So we built egg mobiles for laying chickens, and they follow the cow herd.

The chickens scratch through the cow pies, eat out the fly larva, scratch the cow patties into the ground, stimulating the fertility, eating the grasshoppers and crickets that compete with the cows for the vegetation. And instead of where most farmers would shoot- So the chickens chase the cows.

Yes, yes. So they're in egg mobiles, that's what we call them, egg mobiles.

Yeah, so you're like- egret on the rhino's nose. I mean, look at any herd, wildebeest in nature, and you'll see these flocks of birds following, and they're the sanitizers with the herbivores. So instead of shooting the cows up with parasiticides and grubicides and things like that, we just collect $100,000 worth of eggs as a byproduct of the pasture sanitation program and the fertility program.
