- Greg shares some key steps to starting your own successful grazing operation. There are some essential steps to ensure that you are successful in starting a successful grazing operation. Grazing is a wonderful lifestyle and can be very profitable if you do things correctly at the very beginning. For more grazing info check out my new book " How To Think Like A Grazier" on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net/books/
Greg you have hit the nail dead on the head. Raise beef by Regenerative farming and use some of the manure to fertilize your garden. Well done. A solid argument for an honest living. I believe the Creator intended humans to live this way when humans were given "dominion" over the animals. Dominion means, of course, responsibility for the animals and the earth.
Just my humble opinion.
✌🇺🇸🖖
This is why I am starting up a cattle operation - to insure my own food supply - to advocate for Meat! To revitalize the farm I'm using... keep sending out the message!
God bless Greg Judy.
And Jan.
Even grain farmers don't have free grain, we can use it at cost of growing it but that's not far from market value. Any way you look at it, grain is an expensive feed source. Cover crops and grasses are the best by far and the cheapest.
Greg Judy for president.
MOOving the animals to the home-grown food rather than using expensive seeds, chemicals, equipment, and fuels/maintenance to move food to the immobile animals.
MOOving animals are happy animals. Watch Greg's gals and bulls and calves kick up their heels on nearly every move. They love MOOving and the land/biomass loves it too!
just finished How To Think Like A Grazier. what a wealth of information! working on infrastructure to get cattle by Spring of 2023. thank you!
Amen Greg. You are doing what's right. Those beurecratic suits are incompetent. Keep after it!
Those cows are looking fantastic! I keep them in my mind's eye when I'm evaluating my own small herd.
Greg, thanks for regularly sharing this kind of quality information.
Master a Happy Thanksgiving to you and Miss Jan. Also the boys, thank God for you and your message.God Bless America 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy thanksgiving to everyone!
That cow is awesome.
You are absolutely right in everything you presented in this video! Happy Thanksgiving !!
The omega 3 content on grass fed cattle is higher than conventional grain feed cattle that’s packed with antibiotics. Also the grass fed cattle have more anti inflammatory compounds. A doctors that worked back in the day with Native American that live on American buffaloes ( bison). Mention that they didn’t have modern health issues like diabetes, and they had a lot of centenary people. Living healthy and mobiles lives. Like you said Greg. Grass fed is the way to go.
Hi Mr Judy . it was good to hear your contribution to a Regenerative Farming programme broadcast in UK on BBC Radio 4 on 24 Nov. best regards
Very good recap. I need the reminders and am sure it helps newcomers a bunch. As we need people to get back to the land this way, how much more to get back to God! The benefits to our country and world would be enormous. Some Bible reading,prayers,thanks,and church attendance. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Good talk Greg , I wholeheartedly agree!👍
Thanks Greg! Happy Thanksgiving to you all at green pasture farms!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and Jan. You are very inspirational and luv your videos.
Thank you Greg .
So glad I found your channel very informative
Happy Thanksgiving to you Jan and all the folks on Green Pastures Farms. You all are examples of what life should be all about. Journey Well.
Very cute how you got snuffled when you were showing the bruised ground. Beware of cow licks!
Your lens seems a little fogged on the left side. Still looks like a great teaching. Love your ways with those animals.
Absolute legend!
Thank you for the video
I just wanted to say that I just started watching your videos last week and I have been hooked ever since. It's truly a blessing that your passing on all this knowledge. I have been saving up to start a grass fead Wagyu operation. I definitely am enjoying watching the red Angus cows in your video as well. How many acres would it take to properly manage two separate herds to keep a pure bloodline? I have been looking at 300-500 acre parcels that I would have to go in and timber to make pastures. Would two herds need more than that?
Keep watching more videos, read Greg’s books, subscribe to the Stockman Grass Farmer, and soak in everything you can. I think you’ll find your answer
South Poll cattle. Not Red Angus
I thought these were Dexters..
Be sure to add dates & time for your Morgantown WV speaking engagement. I’d love to get your autograph. Let’s ALL be thankful this thanksgiving day
I second this. I would love to come hear you speak in person, and ask some questions.
I wish you would visit an area that does use some permaculture practices because they have to manage rainfall and flooding, and where those areas can make a go of it, but a lot harder.
Like the place in Arizona you were helping. Several different areas in Texas and Louisiana are learning how to figure it out. Lot of fans here in Texas though who knows how many different ecosystems we have.
Maybe in the winter you can visit some tough ones where they are figuring it out.
I imagine East Texas is very different than Amarillo.
I'm going to be working on it in the coming year in West Central Texas. Starting with a couple of South Poll steers.
Wise words
I totally agree that we NEED ruminants. I’m afraid they’re trying to put a stop to our ability to be self sufficient, and it’ll be a disaster...or everyone.
Here in Sonora Texas it is dry, the grass is sparse and with mostly overgrazed pastures.
It is a great place for prickly pear cactus and scrub brush.
Maybe just maybe your high density grazing might just work here if you had enough acres per animal.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Greg, Jan and the boys!
It might be acres per animal instead.
How much is exhausted acre in Texas? Greeting for Europe.
Look up las Damas ranch in the chihuahuan desert in Mexico is pretty incredible what he’s been able to do with only 8 inches of annual rainfall
I am probably the most likely to get type 2 - i accept your challenge
I have my first grass fed beef in my freezer and does it ever taste better than store bought. I am supplying my family too.
Thanks very much for your channel and these tips. How much do you sell, say, a cow/calf combo for? Or young bulls and heifers? And do you feed hay in the winter? And do you have a barn, or sheds they can go in when it snows? Thanks again!
Happy Thanksgiving! And thank you for all you do.
Mr. Judy what are your thoughts about growing pigs and sheep in Colorado? Avg. rain 15" in the front range/plains.
Thomas sowell an economist said something like "those with 1% of the knowledge, make 99% of the decisions"
Greg -- have you heard of Primary Water? I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on that.
Greg, I'd be interested in your thoughts on providing free choice minerals (like FCE) to the herd. My background has been human nutrition for the past 30 years so naturally I see the potential for rapid improvement/recovery for the whole ecosystem. All the way from the soil organisms, forage nutrition & species selection, cattle growth and disease resistance to the end consumer, us. I haven't started my herd yet but the prospect of improving the whole ecosystem with one input seems like a good investment, at least in the beginning. Thoughts?
I'm curious what people are seeing in their local real estate market. Farmland or homesteading locations appear to be hard to come by currently. Does anyone have any insight into places or times when this trend will reverse?
Just searching around on real estate websites the last few months, here in NC raw land is averaging probably 5k per acre. If it has any infrastructure it’s more like 10k. Seems like it’s all snatched up pretty quick.
Greg Judy, @12:25 until the end, what was that golden brown lump that the other 4 cows were so interested in?
I know you say we can't do it in the desert, but that's where the land needs to be healed. How do we heal land if we won't go on land that needs healing the most?
Hey Greg, how about a follow up on the pond repair. All of the black Angus cow's should be out of their. We would like to see how you and Johnny were able to fix it?
Pretty sure he already did a video or two of that
"It's not the cow, it's the how..."
Greg, taxing cows is only a symptom of a much larger problem. Arguing against taxing cows is akin to applying moisturizing lotion to a severely ingrown toenail. I'm all for treating symptoms, but let's also seek therapy to eliminate the cause.
Does your tractor have any problems brush hogging hills that steep?
What’s Greg’s thoughts on branding cattle ?
Hey Greg! What is your suggestion for an operation that is SURROUNDED by conventional Ag? How much do I need to worry about contamination from the nearby fields?
Unfortunately you may need to get ready to be sprayed by glyphosate if you live near a row cropper. It happens a lot. Personally I can not stand the smell of it, so that is where I would not farm.
Mr Judy. MacDonalds in the UK is well on the way to achieving 100% of its beef products being grass fed from UK regenerative agriculture land. Which is a shame because it’s rather cornered the market! 😩
It looks like a dead tree on top of the hill. I bet that would be a good tree for tire wood. It looks like a oak tree by how it branches it out. Thanks for all your videos! I’m getting an itching to saw some wood. I’m feeling really good and ready to do some hard relaxing work like cutting some wood for the fireplace for the following years. I’m going to look at some rams on Friday so I can breed my sheep in December.
Speaking of desert... how's that project doing out west?
9:43 good point there!
...but there ppl in US/UK who want to get rid of all cows((
We got 3” rain last year.
7” this year.
Not looking good
How many acres total are you running this set of cows on annually?
750 acres are in pasture.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher awesome. What breed of cattle?
He raises South Poll cattle 😊
You know what NO ONE has explained? How to do regen. grazing with your house DAIRY cows in the mix. Our small, mixed herd is still free ranging between our two large paddocks, because we just can't figure it out.
How do you milk 2 cows, separate from the beef breeds? Seems like 10x the work, to what we're doing now!
I think Justin Rhoades built a milking station that he could drag behind him to milk cows directly on the pasture
@@SaBoRhbg Thanks so much for trying to help. I had seen Justin's set up, but my sister thought it was way too much extra work. So we've sold our beefers and are going 100% dairy. :-)
You got a black cow?!?!?! Is the sky falling?!?
"Doesn't make sense to grow food in a desert".... and after plowing and planting a field three times- you're farming in a desert that you made.
@@jimmyjohnson7041 happy to hear that
😎✌🖖👌👍😁
