The American Solar Grazing Association Presents:
Texas Solar Shepherds
The powerful story of solar grazing in the Lone Star State.
Under the Texas sun, sheep ranchers are finding a new way forward through solar grazing. Land access has become a major problem for farming families and young ranchers trying to get started in agriculture. Solar grazing offers an incredible opportunity for ranchers to access the farmable acres they need. Across the state, big solar sites are becoming ranch land for farmers to raise sheep and build a thriving business, all while preserving land stewardship and their farming heritage.
Over 70,000 acres of solar sites in Texas are being grazed by sheep ranchers and their flocks. That opportunity is only growing, with more acres of solar that can be grazed and more sheep ranchers looking to take advantage of this home run opportunity.
Welcome to the next chapter of sheep ranching in Texas.
