Grazing Strategies for Drought is the next in a series of webinars in 2026 that will be hosted by Rocky Mountain Front Ranchlands Group and Western Landowners Alliance (WLA).
Our guest speakers for this webinar are Rick Caquelin and Mark DeBoo.
Rick Caquelin graduated from Montana State University with a degree in Range Science and built a 30+ year career with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), prior to retiring in 2020. He and his wife run a cow/calf operation just south of Stanford, MT. Rick finds immense value in the principles of sound grazing management and leads Montana graziers by example. As head of the Board of Directors, Rick’s main focus is identifying ways in which the organization can better the lives and the lands of Montana ranchers. In addition to serving as head of the MTGLC Board, Rick is also on the board of the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance (RSA) and is an active member of the Range Monitoring Group (RMG).
Mark DeBoo stands as the third-generation steward of Diamond D Angus, a ranch deeply rooted in Montana’s Golden Triangle. In the past few years, Mark has been using rotational grazing and virtual fencing to make the most of his pastures during the drought. Mark has had the opportunity to be mentored by Gabe Brown and Dr. Allen Williams, pioneers in the world of regenerative ag. Along with rotational grazing, Mark has discontinued the use of commercial fertilizer and chemicals and sees great improvements in his soil and grazing quality.

Thursday, April 30 at Noon – “NRCS Regenerative Pilot Program: Making It Work for Your Operation”
Western Landowners Alliance is hosting a webinar on the USDA NRCS Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program and what it means for producers across the West. The webinar will provide an overview of NRCS’s new regenerative pilot effort, which is designed to support producers in adopting conservation practices that improve soil health, water quality, and overall working lands resilience. The program builds on existing NRCS tools and programs, such as conservation planning and financial assistance, to better support whole-farm, systems-based approaches to management.
