TLA Mushrush Ranch Virtual Fence Tour

The Tallgrass Legacy Alliance is excited to announce our first 2022 TLA Ranch Tour will be at Mushrush Ranch and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve on June 23, 2022!

The Mushrush Ranch is located near Elmdale in Chase County, KS. The Family specializes in Red Angus seedstock and replacement heifers to commercial cattle producers. The Ranch utilizes over 9,000 acres of native tallgrass prairie and has integrated tamegrasses and covercrops into their grazing management as they convert cropland acres to grazing acres in order to diversify and extend on-pasture grazing available to their herds. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve was founded in 1996 and protects a nationally significant remanent of the once vast Tallgrass Prairie of North America for all people around the world to visit and experience.

Together, Mushrush Ranch and The Tallgrass Prairie National Prairie Preserve are conducting a joint, both sides of the fence, Virtual Fence project with Kansas State University Researchers. 

Please come and join us to learn about this project as well as about the Mushrush Ranch Operation! Lunch and Learn and Ranch Tour Itinerary included at the end of this message and in the attached PDF.
