We raise pigs,rabbits,layers,broilers and our main enterprise is dairy goats. Started planting cover crops 3 years ago. We invested in a Genesis no till drill this year. If the math works out it will pay for itself in 2 years. Gabe brown and Ray Archuleta are awesome sources of resource. Looking forward to more pig videos.
Awesome! Thanks Dennis. We just uploaded a new pig video today! check it out here: czcams.com/video/PJzb1tn-Bv0/video.html
I’m from Cape Breton Nova Scotia and I’ll be starting my own regenerative pasture product farm this year. You page has helped so much thank you!
#SaveSoil 💚 thank you for what you do , love farmers
Thank you!
Hello!! Grettings from Barranca de sta Clara Jalisco. We are small dairy farmers. We love your channel
We're glad you've found us! Thanks for your support!
Plant at higher rate watch for up coming rain if you can find a cultipacker that you can roll over it after seeding is terrific
OMG, where have yall been? You guys are great. Your content has sparked my mind to research farming on another level. My hope is to have a small farm for me and my family to improve our health and be good stewards of the land. Learning about free-ranging animals is taking us back to a simpler time of raising animals responsibly and humanly. I always say animals should be thanked and honored for giving us food in this cycle of life. Thank you guys for the knowleged.
awesome! Welcome and thanks for the compliments. glad you enjoy the content.
Very informative keep up the good work
thanks, Michael!

Hey I am from Mississippi
If you have pigs seed pumpkins turnips and radishes and move them often so they don't do to much deep tillage

Hi not so far away, in South Carolina. I am just starting my homestead. House is almost move in ready. Love the channel, lots of great ideas. Looking for ways to be more self sufficient and late season grazing is right on target. Thanks
Awesome! Welcom James, and best of luck in SC! More great content on the way soon!
I would love to know your thoughts on winter cover crops to grow through winter for North Texas? I'm looking to supplement or replace hay buying through the winter for 10 count head
A percentage represents a ratio so technically it could be expressed in PPM, or even Parts Per Billion (PPB); depending on what is being referenced. Most day to day percentages we use are parts per hundred but as soon as you get into the sciences percentages often reference either PPM or PPB but are usually just annotated as PPM or PPB to eliminate this confusion. Organic matter is likely PPM, 3000 parts organic matter per million parts of the whole, “parts” being any volumetric constant you wish (cubic inches/cm/yards/meters), would then be defined as 3% organic matter. Congrats on the Savory accreditation btw!
Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching, Colton!
Thank you for the cap! I receivedityesterday🧢🙌😊@Heifers International
Hope you like it!
I love ❤ it 🧢 thanks again!!
What book would you suggest as a reference on grasses and cover crops. Something I could use to see what choices are best for winter, summer, geographic areas, the ones with side effects like you mentioned about 2 weeks post freeze etc.
Hey Debi! Send us an email and we can get you connected with a specialist to answer this question.
How do you find the effectiveness of broadcasting seed versus using the no till drill?
Hi Ryan, since we have the drill, we mostly just use it because it is VERY effective.
If you put your camera on a gimbal, would it do better on the rough rides?
for sure!
how would a person control/get rid of SPOTTED KNOT WEED?? thank you guys for the tips and info,, they would have to compete with me for the greens and radishes... what breed of sheep do you guys have?
Hi Yooper, thanks for watching! I don't think we've dealt with that invasive species in our area. Does anyone else here know? We raise Katahdin hair sheep.
At around 27-28 minutes you mention nitro radish. You talk of the size and soul breaking. Are you concerned about the holes left being a hazard to the livestock?
Dez B from Oklahoma. I dont have a large piece of land by any means, about maybe 5 acres of not sloped land. Is your process for cattle something that would transition well for horses and other livestock other than cattle?
Hi Dez! Thanks for watching. We hope you found the content valuable. The answer to your question is Yes!
Could you let some chicken farmer raise pasture chickens ?
Guys I like your operation but the last 4 videos I could not finish as they are just too long. I cannot spend an hour or more so please give some thought to streamline it a bit down to 35 min max. Too busy to stay 60+ minutes.
Thanks, Terry! Our video today is a nice short 23 minutes haha! czcams.com/video/PJzb1tn-Bv0/video.html
Armor on the soil.
43 inches rain? Better give up the cattle to raise ducks. Nope, just kidding!
Listening to life in the fields is why Grampa stopped farming when he was so old he had trouble handling a team of Morgens. He never did like tractors and so on, and like his father-in-law, our de-dan-v-wis-ki, sacred Healer, refused to use chemicals even when threatened with arrest for not obey stupid rules put up by the democrats during WWII. Those fools nearly caused a major riot by the people who saw Grampa as our head man, a civil leader of the People.
Grampa sounds like a cool person. Thanks for watching!
