- Movable water tanks allow you to move your tanks wherever you want them to be placed. This is a huge tool for moving nutrients of manure and urine around your farm by animals coming to the water tanks.
This is what schools nationwide should be teaching.
Government would stop that in a heartbeat. I crazy in the future I can see having videos like this would be considered contraband.
It’s very neat to see how you don’t waste time, money, or effort. Your practices are well thought out and help to make for properties sustainable and profitable.
Another Top Notch video! so practical and spot on!
Next time I'm in your area I will make it to your place!
Long live the soil!
Love that quick hook up to the poly piping. Super clever and economical!
Really do appreciate you sharing your way of doing things and explaining why. I've passed your information and Vlog on to many people who like what they see and your way if doing things. Thank You
Greg thanks for turning me on to Jobe valves, I just got a couple of Rojo's and I really like this company. I'll be using them for rainwater with sheep, chickens, and dogs. I'm so grateful for Greg Judy.
im bout 150 years behind ya,trying to do it the way yer doing it,, thank ya fer another video
Great video! We have so much work to do!
awesome stuff right there! You solved my water problem here.
If you buy the good water hose and the ends get crushed, you can take the hose to anywhere that makes hydraulic hoses and get new ends crimped on. Better than the original ends. Crimping pressure may have to be lessened in order not to pinch the hose. Next go to the hardware store, buy male and female hose bibs and put on the ends. Now you have guaranteed to be the lifetime of the hose ends.
Great demonstration how the quick disconnect hose system works. Greg do you have or ever use those hot fence indicators that flash red so you can see at night that your fence is hot?
Live the videos. What kind of pipe would you use for very cold temperatures like in Northern Ontario?
Thanks for a very detailed and informative video. I have a question that is somewhat unrelated to the video. I noticed the growth on the fence line that protects the black plastic pipe. In our climate, if the fenceline were protected by a charged polywire, it would overgrow with bushes and trees very shortly. Do you have a method to allow grazing by sheep/cattle on fence lines to prevent having to keep it clean manually?
The less permanent fence you have makes it much easier to control brush. Because we are always changing where we put our fence, the brush has no chance out in the pastures.
Can we see that watering trough a week after the 300 head have used it???
When you first layed the black polyethylene hose, wasn't the water too hot for the cattle? How long did it take to be overgrown enough to keep cool? Why doesn't the hose freeze and burst in the winter? Love your videos! Thanks for posting :D
That water line has been in for 20 years, you can't find it anymore. It is buried in the duff under the hot wire. We laid the pipe in the spring and it was covered in 14 days by growing green forage.
How does the jobe valve work in winter?
how do you water the cows in the winter?
Thanks for the info. If im going to use a smaller water tank for sheep I'm going to have to drill a hole in the side of it correct?
Great video Greg! If you had a specific method, let's call it "The Greg Judy method", how would you outline the steps of the Greg Judy method in simple steps?
Greg, any thoughts on encouraging grass species that work better for winter stockpile? You mentioned that the canary grass is about worthless for winter grazing, we have a lot of those types of grasses in our fields that don't winter well here in PA.Thanks.
It is hard to beat fescue for winter grazing. The plant stays green most of the winter.
But how do you move the water to the next paddock? Is it connected to the same black hose or do u have to move the black hose?
.. Please Consider putting that 50'-Black-Rubber Water-Supply-Hose inside a PVC Pipe...Field-Mice Love to Chew on the Natural-Rubber .. I use 5-of those Good-Year/Continental Black-Rubber Hoses and I used to have lots of trouble with leaks caused by Mice chewing on the rubber .. Best to You ..
❤️❤️❤️
where can i find that snap coupler?? and what is the part it slips into ??
How thick do the rods need to be?
Forgive me if you went over this but How do you keep it from freezing in the winter?
Justin, you watch all his videos?
Thank you Greg. I couldnt tell, do you have another fitting on the tank to drain it or do you use Alex's brawn to tip it over? Do you think the water tank in 'fail proof' or fail resistant? ;-)
We dump it over. We don't have any issues with this tank set up like the video shows.
I like to see you move the cattle's into new grass more often.
How many feet can you run a 3/4” HDPE pipe from a farm hydrant with a Jobe mega flow valve at the tank? What happens if you exceed that length? Will the water just not flow, come out too slow, or burn up the well pump or another well component? Thank you in advance for your reply, Greg.
We have run them 2000 feet with no problems. That is on fairly flat terrain.
Awesome video thank you so much for sharing. How many Gallons Per Minute flow do you like to see for your herd ?
The larger the herd. The more flow you need or a larger tank. That 80 gallon tank is watering 340 animals. This tank has 60 psi on a 3/4" water pipe and valve.
Where can I purchase the product?
Greg, what is your average annual temperature & rainfall?
38"
Hey Greg,
How do you drain the long black pipe for winter? Is there enough slope to gravity drain it?
We do not drain it. It is burst proof, not freeze proof though.
Do you have algae problem
Nope
I live in NE San Antonio Texas - cutting down intense cedar on 10acres we bought last year. I bought $800 worth of native grass seeds but it has barely rained. Maybe half have taken, but no rain... we don’t have well water yet. I’m not sure how to go about this ignorant and from scratch... we are willing to get animals after we get water but... I need help ... you guys have some grass to overseer... I had bare soil I covered with branches but it’s bare and soon to have more weeds than natives
You might want to try and get your soil covered. You could consider purchasing local hay and use it to cover the soil. The sooner you can get some ruminant animal impact on it the better off you will be. I wouldnt worry about the annual weeds. They will also protect the soil.
Thank you. We forestry mulched half the cedar, the other half I personally have chop & dropped the cedar limbs to try to have coverage and hold as much moisture as I can (from listening to Greg J and Gabe Brown).. I hope the soil isn’t too covered with branches that it prevents grass getting light as well as the cedar oils... etc.. etc.. time and money.. and it’s only 10 acres... it’s hard. Our little plot is beautiful but I hope I’m not asking too much from my retired AF husband to support me in this endeavor- I planted seed under the limbs trying to establish grass... then proper fencing and infrastructure , then animals.... so we don’t put the buggy before the horse, but ...
Thank you for the suggestions
I wish I could upload photos to show to get advice but I don’t think it’s an available option- (not really a tech person)
