TH Cattle Company, LLC
This project aims to expand the climate-smart regenerative grassed beef market with market incentives for producers to address the regenerative cost differential, product promotion activities to increase demand at the higher premium-price, and participation in a carbon-credit project to pay producers for carbon sequestration ecosystem services.

Money Matters
Does not specify
The project will pay producers a market-based incentive per pound to cover the cost differential due to increased grazing management between climate-smart regenerative and conventional beef. Producers will receive market incentive payment of $0.10 per pound hot carcass weight (HCW) in addition to the market-based pricing established with TH Cattle Company and producer. The Northern Great Plains Improved Grazing Carbon Project pays ranchers in MT and WY market rate on the carbon exchange on average $15 per acre for 20 years to implement practices that increase soil carbon sequestration

Technical Info
TH Cattle Company, LLC
The project will employ a model-based approach to capture the soil carbon dynamics of grazing practices. Cornell Soil Health tests will be performed on samples taken by TH Cattle Company in years 1 and 4 at all participating producer locations. These results will then be used in furthering the application of the SNAPGRAZE methodology to other ecoregions, used in third-party verified climate-smart product declarations, along with entering into COMET-planner for ecological outcome results.
The project will verify GHG benefits by verifying implementation of the climate-smart management practices through audits and annual on-farm visits of network producers, as the basis for calculation of the GHG benefits. WSE will further develop the project’s approach to verifying greenhouse gas benefits, e.g., exploring use of remote sensing observations of time-series changes in biomass as proxy for grazing frequency and duration. TH Cattle Company will be partnering with an additional third-party verifier that will help quantify/qualify results into a climate-smart declaration for on package use.
