Grass Based Genetics is a curated directory of livestock breeders raising animals on grass-based systems. The goal is to make it easier to find producers who prioritize forage, stewardship, and functional genetics across species.

This directory is designed as a long-term reference, not a fast-moving marketplace.

This directory is for:

Producers looking for grass-based breeding stock

Graziers searching for seedstock or genetics aligned with forage-based systems

Breeders who want a durable place to share their operation without constant promotion

It is not intended for high-volume sales or short-term listings.

Grass-based means livestock are raised primarily on pasture or forage-based systems, with management decisions centered on grazing, soil health, and long-term resilience.

Practices vary by operation, species, and region. Grass Based Genetics does not enforce a single definition or production standard, but listings are expected to align with grass-based intent rather than confinement or feedlot systems.

No. Grass Based Genetics is not a marketplace and does not facilitate transactions.

The directory exists to connect people and surface operations. All communication, pricing, and sales happen directly between breeders and buyers.

Listings are reviewed before being published to ensure they are relevant, clear, and aligned with the purpose of the directory.

The review process focuses on:

Relevance to grass-based livestock production

Completeness and clarity of information

Fit within the directory structure

Grass Based Genetics is curated, but not ranked or promoted based on advertising.

The listing fee helps support the ongoing maintenance of the directory, review process, and infrastructure.

This is not an ad-based platform. Charging a fee keeps the directory focused, intentional, and sustainable over time rather than driven by volume or click-based incentives.

Founding listings are currently offered as a one-time fee and remain active long-term.

Future listings may be billed annually. Any changes to pricing or listing structure will be communicated clearly before they take effect.

Yes. Listings are designed to be durable, but updates can be made if your operation changes or if information needs correction.
