Sheep Producer (UT)

Sixth-generation sheep producer Matt Goble is taking a different approach to raising sheep through management-intensive grazing. After facing challenges with predator losses and traditional range management, Matt began exploring ways to improve flock performance while making better use of his land.

Today, Matt and his family raise approximately 400 ewes, using frequent pasture rotations to promote soil health, encourage forage regrowth and improve grazing efficiency. By adapting his grazing practices, crop selection and flock genetics to fit his operation, Matt has developed a system focused on productivity, sustainability and profitability.

Through experimentation and hands-on management, Matt reports increasing land production by more than 50% while gaining opportunities to closely monitor flock health and performance.

In his Sheep IQ Producer Profile, Matt shares the lessons learned, challenges overcome and practical benefits of rethinking traditional sheep and pasture management.
