There is a command in the django manage.py specifically for this. If you are using Migrations as fixtures you might need to fiddle with the dependencies attribute in some of the Migrations if you don't wish to squash your fixtures.

python manage.py squashmigrations app_name 0001

Where app_name is the name of your app, and 0001 is the migration you wish to squash up to.
