- Folks by following the guide lines that I laid out over the 5 series of videos, you can implement your own grazing operation without numerous mistakes. Hope to see some of you at our spring grazing school May 7-9th, check it out at greenpasturesfarm.net
Thank you for all your effort in making these videos. Invaluable amounts of information and experience.
This youtube channel is a gold mine.
Excellent videos. I'm in the process of buying land now and it hasn't been grazed in years. I'm excited about transforming it into pasture.
As usual great educational video
The most amazing part of your videos is how to do cheaply and long lasting
I truly enjoy all your videos
I learned more by watching this series than in 12 years of govt school. Genius simplicity! I can't wait to start, we're headed down to the Springfield mo area in spring, can't wait to start all this. I can't thank you more!
This series of videos provided alot of information for a noob. Thanks Greg.
Made it all the way through the series and now closer to tackling this project. Thank you!
Your welcome!
I second your advice about taking your time to find good cattle. My first attempt with grazing cattle did not start well. I made the mistake of trusting the local livestock auction manager to tell what lot to bid on. He sold me the wildest seven steers and I mean they were wild. When the livestock hauler unloaded them at our place those steers ran us all over and took off in a mad stampede. I had no horse or atv to go after them. Somehow by the grace of God they ended up back on the land I leased.
I'm not sure how I didn't know you have had a channel for this long, but I now have some good winter viewing content while I'm not busy working.
9:56 lololololol Lololololol Lololololol.
"Folks there's some crazy cow's out there"
I love his timing, and the look on his face
This just gets better and better! Our hope is to start with sheep. We are looking forward to the rest of the series.
My stocking rate is 1 yearling for 40 acres or a pair at 70. When I got this place it was 160 per pair. My rate has almost doubled in 6 years. My pastures are state land they set my animal units. I average 12 inches of rain
What changed that the state increased your stocking rate? How do they and what prompted them to reevaluate stocking rate?
Thanks so much for this series Greg. Super helpful for we who know virtually nothing about running cattle.
Awesome! Always good ingormation, thank you so much for your time, what you talk in every video is huge!!!!
Brilliantly explained Greg, love your videos, watching from Ireland
Thank you Greg for speaking to stocking density! I will look into our local NRCS.
It is stocking rate, not stocking density!
Amazing information Greg! Looking forward to the sheep series!!
Thanx cuz this series help cut out some self dought plus narrow down some choices = mostly this helped me realize my knowledge is ready for action so I'm exsited to get started = thank you for showing tools & clear instructions
Learned about greg from acres usa(obviously). Best monthly in the english speaking world
Thanks for doing this series! Very informative!!!
Thank you for taking the time and making all these videos Greg. Can you make one that would give an idea on how fast you can expand your herd and what the income is if availability of land was not a limitation.
These are great videos, Greg. Thank you very much. I'd love to see you demonstrate the cows going under the wire. My imagination is failing me to figure out how to implement this.
Thanks greg.........4 the info....very helpful....for the newbs
Thanks for sharing Greg, much appreciated. Cheers Sincerely David
Awesome content. Thanks so much for the info! It’s good marketing. I’m Seriously contemplating your grazing school now lol
Great learning series. Ty vm
It would be beneficial if you could "go over the numbers" i.e. how much should you budget for, what are realistic annual costs, how much time is required. I know this highly subjective with a lot of scenarios, but it would give people an idea of what to expect.
Thanks for these videos
So much great information.
Very good Greg. I am new comer trying to learn cow farm
Tip on the spinning jenny. Even for a small fencing project, don't buy a cheap one! They bend too easily, the bolts strip and it's way too wobbly! I spend way too much time fighting with that thing!
I like it that's a slick system!
In Minnesota I will have to trench my water lines at minimum 6 feet but history tells me I should put it to eight.
I was born in Northern Minnesota on a dairy farm. Our ponds froze clear to the bottom. Water lines needed to be eight feet deep mostly!
No kidding what town!?
Yes all lines are 8 feet here.
I am poised to take over the family farm after my father died. Him and me had a small flock of sheep. They have been roaming the pasture freely, but now I am thinking about changing to holistic grazing. Last video you talked about a pond for watering, I will have lots of creeks (this is west coast of Norway, think rain and mountains) I believe that letting them hav access to the creeks will not be as problematic as letting them have access to a pond, as it is many of them, and the animals will not be impacting the same piece of land for long, have I understood your premise correctly?
I've seen an old video of Greg's where he put up fence just at the edge of a creek, or a riparian area or something. So the animals could drink but not walk into the water. Really similar to this video (also Greg) on fencing a pond: czcams.com/video/rkAci4HkBaI/video.html
GREG thanks fer another video
Thanks for this series. Answered several questions for me. I'm pretty new to your channel, but have watched many of your videos. I haven't seen anything about weaning, casterating/banding. Another thing is you run a large herd and I gather that you keep your bulls separated except for a short breeding season. I'd like to hear more on those subjects. How many cows per bulls ...
Those subjects are on my video list to cover.
Thanks for the videos Greg. One question, you mentioned that if you owned the land, you would put in a permanent water line underground, but not if you were leasing. How does that affect winter grazing on leased land? And how do you prevent the line from freezing in the winter?
Good question, following.
Is the rainfall he speaks of per month or year? I get 8.9 a month or 93.8 a year here in east Texas.
One thing so far I have not heard you talk about on this 20 acre example is shade. Are you assuming shade in each paddock or what is your take on that?
Hey Greg. Could you give your thoughts on how to manage a small heard as far as keeping a bull, renting a bull, or just buying calves and forgoing a bull. Forgive me for my ignorance. Thank you for all the great content!
Hi Greg, thanks for the series... At what point (herd size) is it cost effective to keep a bull? What about AI?
I am a A.I tech and A.I only really works 60% of the time as a average. So A.I is a good thing to use advance your genetics quickly and is a good way to get cows bred but i always recommend the use of a clean up bull to ensure a higher percent calf crop. If you dont want to purchase a bull, a good option is renting/leasing a bull for a season.
I got 5 cows and a bull, Without a bull, you just got big expensive pets.
@@cabbyhubby WE trade different things for a borrowed bull
You usually need at least 70 head if you want to start keeping some of your bulls back and line breed with minimal inbred negatives. Rent, lease, or swapping bulls is your best option if you have a small heard.
You are awesome
Thank you!
Anybody know the channel he talked about where the guy trucks his water in?
I’m guessing that water valve system wouldn’t work in my region as our frost will go down much deeper than you can reach down into a hole. Our frost in SD goes down 4ft+ depending on the year. I talked to a guy who claimed they found frost at 7ft one year.
Keep hearing you bring up Ky31. Have you looked into Ky32 endophite free fescue? I was very happy with it in Tennessee.
I am convinced a person needs to graze what is growing on there farm. Any time you introduce some other plant your spending money !!!!
This was a great series! Could you put them in a play list? I have so many people deliver share all of them with?
I share them with customers. Just right click on the video and select the sentence that says "copy link location" then go to your email and click "Paste" . Your good to go!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher yes I know how to do that. But If you have them all saved in a play list I can send 1 link (to the playlist) vs 5 links.
Really like the quick disconnect for water supply.
I went to Plasson's website was unable to locate it. Do have a model or part, or the nomenclature of this male/female set?
Eric Nay go check out powerflexfence.com they sell them and this is the site Greg recommends
Greg, Do you use braided wire for the five wire perimeter fence or just high strength 12 gauge twisted wire?
180,000 psi hi-tensile galvanized wire is what we use for permanent fencing.
Greg, how would you handle hay for 5 cows? Square bales?
😁👍👌✌🖖😎
We keep a farm average of 1.2 cows per acre in ireland
Is there many regenerative, or mob grazing farmers in Ireland..? I'm from Ireland, hopefully start farming this year or next
@@conalmcgrath547 anyone who uses paddock grazing would be using a method like this, mostly dairy farms but it is also being taken up by cattle and sheep farmers now
What about in Az/
The quick couplers are cheaper than mentioned
Hi, love watching your channel. I was watching the other day, and was looking at your play lists went back half hour later to watch and everything was gone. I was wondering where they went and will they be available to view somewhere ?
Don’t buy the cheap Jenny of any brand. Buy the better one.
I would agree with you Jonathon.
Im not sure why you need high tensile wire for electric fencing. There is no need for it to be under high tension. Medium tensile wire is just as effective, cheaper and much easier to work with. I have 100 kg kangaroos bouncing off it all the time and it doesnt break. www.waratahfencing.com.au/products/wire/fence-wire/flexabel-longlife-blue
Soft wire breaks when deer hit it. I would never fence a farm with soft wire, you are asking for a complete wreck!!!!!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Luckily most farmers around the world dont have to deal with deer. Here we only have to worry about roos and wombats which routinely destroy our fences, but that because they either dig under them or get tangled in them.
I'm projecting, ignorant wanna'be, sectionalizing as you show, and watching the parcels you left access to, (as you say, you don't need to fence recently grazed plots), and when past plots begin to develop grass tips, go ahead and run an electrified braid, to keep them from revisiting early.
