Droughts are DEPRESSING!
Droughts are DEPRESSING! We have no choice as producers but to manage through them as best we can. After a fantastic Spring, we have no "good rain" since the first week of May. Over 100 days, and just a few tenths here and there, which we are very thankful for, but we are way behind. To make it all a bit more challenging, this is our second summer in a row of extreme drought, and we are probably close to breaking record for high temperature and days over 100. The heat has been extreme, all summer.
Enough whining! I just shot this video to vent a little, as well as show how well the cows are handling it, much better than the humans, I believe. We are going to be facing some serious restocking decisions soon. I will hopefully be in the mood to shoot a couple more videos talking about some of them big changes in management and important factors in drought grazing.

Stockmanship skills in a ranching operation are a must have, in my opinion. Cattle handling facilities that are designed to work with those stockmanship skills and animals natural instincts are equally as important. We invested in new facilities a couple of years ago. As is often the case in our business, we did all of the work ourselves. A new Bud Box and corrals, different race (alley) set up...
Kubota Grazing Rig
zhlédnutí 880Před 2 lety
This is the latest and greatest version of our Kubota grazing rack and bed "organizer". We've been intensively grazing for almost 10 years, and find value in having our tools and gear well organized and easy to get to. This Grazing rig has been a work in progress and hopefully one day soon we will finish it and get it painted!!!

    • @johnclocke

      It works well enough but funny you asked this question now. Just yesterday I had a reel bounce off while picking it up and I ran over it. I need a lock to secure the reel or a little different style like the one I remember seeing on the livewire rig. Two slots where the reel slides down into the holder

    Only 30 mins... ive sat for 2 hours with a rats nest. - great vid - will be useful to new folks - IF IF IF you end up putting 2 or 3 wires on a 3:1 reel (for sheep) then dont pull wire from the fixed spool only attatch the end of the wire then reel out.

I'm sitting here watching you videos on density grazing ... I appreciate the knowledge you share and encouraging people to think. I "agape" you brother and would love to sit and talk with you one day as Jesus is my God and cattle are my favorite farm animal - my journey is in the infantile stages with the cattle. My name is Kenchion. I pass through your area often on my way to Corpus. Hope to meet you some day. My number is 832.561.9861 if your're willing. God bless

    John Locke. When you die you are going to stand before God and give an account for your life. Because God is good, He is going to judge you according to the perfect moral standard of His law. If you have ever lied, stolen,taken His name in vain, or sinned in any other way he will find you guilty of breaking His law. Because God is good he must punish your sin;the punishment for sin against God is an eternity in Hell. While God is righteous and just. He is also merciful,loving and kind in that He provided one way to escape that punishment and that was through the gift of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ fully God and fully man without sin. He died on the cross a death He did not deserve taking upon Himself the punishment you rightly deserve for your sins against God Three days later Jesus forever defeated sin and death when He rose from the grave and he is alive today. What God requires of you is that you repent (turn from your sin and turn toward God) & by faith alone receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Repent and believe the gospel while God has given you time

    TIENES TERNERAS EN VENTA?

  • @drummerfochrist
    @drummerfochrist Před 5 lety

    So, fill up the tire with cubes, drive along, and spread them out? Am I understanding right? Not sure I understand why cubes, and why they need to be so spread out. Reduced impact on pasture?

    • @johnclocke
      @johnclocke Před 5 lety

      Yessir Daniel. We put about 1000 lbs of cubes in the tire. When we get to where we are feeding we lower it down to the ground and drive. It puts about 15 lbs of cubes out every 15 feet. The main reason we use cubes is convenience and effectiveness

    • @johnclocke
      @johnclocke Před 5 lety

      Forgot to mention that having them spread out in piles seems to be more effective. I believe it works better when groups of 4 or 5 cows can stand around each pile and eat
