Ruminations: Opening the gate for a new generation of cowgirls

Beth Robinette is a fourth-generation cattle rancher, educator, and co-founder of New Cowgirl Camp who joins the podcast to talk about what it really means to build a more inclusive, resilient future for agriculture.

From her roots on the Lazy R Ranch in Washington’s channeled scablands to her work leading education at UVE (a Savory Hub covering the Intermountain West region of the US), Beth shares how she’s blending business, ecology, and equity to reimagine land stewardship.

The discussion covers being a second-generation Holistic Management practitioner, why creating a safe environment is essential to learning, and how cultural restoration—like digging camas with Salish youth—can deepen our relationship with the land.

This is a powerful conversation about leadership, belonging, and making space for new voices in ranching.
