HMI’s Cows & Quail workshop is a unique experience for serious land and wildlife managers. This habitat improvement workshop helps participants understand the interaction of large grazers with Scaled and Gambels quail, Northern B�obwhite Quail, Pronghorn, Desert Mule Deer, Whitetail Deer and Desert B�ig Horn Sheep; and the response of their critical habitat to Holistic Management grazing techniques. Land managers leave the training with advanced knowledge of how ecology is affected by animal impact, food, water, cover, other range practices, and fencing, to support the population growth of these species
