Join us at the award winning JX Ranch in Tucumcari, NM and participate in a two-day, hands-on workshop. Tour the JX Ranch and discuss how Holistic Management has helped Owners/Operators Tom & Mimi Sidwell reach their goal of increasing the capacity of their ranch in all aspects: forage production, water infiltration, biodiversity and profitability.  

You’ll leave with information that will help you make decisions for reduced risk and takeaway actions to implement on your own ranch or farm. This field day is for anyone who wants to learn more about livestock management and how it can improve your land and profitability. 

Each attendee will have different interpretations of what success looks like for their operation. We hope that you will leave the workshop with some skills and tools to achieve the vision you have for your land and your ranching business. Don't let the cost deter you from attending. We have full & partial scholarships available for this program! Apply here. 

The workshop includes morning classroom sessions in Tucumcari and afternoons on the ranch, providing a balanced mix of education and hands-on experience. The weather may be variable but it will definitely be cold, so please plan accordingly with layers for sun and wind. And don’t forget your refillable water bottle. About JX RanchTom and Mimi are a husband and wife team, working side by side on their ranch south of Tucumcari, New Mexico, where they raise all-natural beef on their native pastures using regenerative, holistic range management methods. They are not a large company, but a family ranch wanting to share their good beef with the community! Tom and Mimi say the roughly 7,000-acre ranch is a part of who they are. They love to see the land improve over the years with hard work and utilizing the cattle to restore the range. They feel very privileged to be able to make a living here and strive to improve the land to its highest potential . To achieve their goal, they manage the ranch holistically. Since they bought and moved on to this ranch in 2004, they have been working hard to strengthen the ecological condition of the ranch, restoring the watersheds and removing infestation of invasive species. 

In 2023 Tom and Mimi were recognized as the recipients of the Leopold Conservation Award from the Sand County Foundation.
