- No better place on earth than spending time with our cow mob on green grass! Very dry autumn here but we still have loads of grass complements of our early August timely rains. We have cut back to twice daily moves instead of 3 daily moves now that we are close to the end of our growing season. We have had several hard frosts that have definitely slowed up the growth of the cool season grass. Cows are fat and ready for cold weather.
If you want to keep your farm profitable every year, check out my 3 grazing books that I wrote on our website: greenpasturesfa...
Cattle on a thousand hills. Beautiful!
Walnut hull dye is what my mom used for dyeing baskets.
Scott and I were awed by the sight of those cows and calves. 325 is magnificent! Miss Judy is doing well!

The farm and cows are looking good. We miss our morning bull moves with you. That was a beautiful evening! What a wonderful serene scene. M & J
I like seeing the new land in comparison to this, where you have a lot of work and then you see the 20 years later like this. I think you had one with a lot of trash, which is pretty common on neglected properties.
It would be interesting to see before and after, to encourage. And to make it clear it is a lot of hard work. Even getting vows trained to hot wire, when you have two or three men, is different than a lone man, like you were 20 odd years ago.
Cows, not vows. Sorry.
Diverse plants=diverse nutrients for healthier animals and for healthier people! Looks great, too. Wish we could share some rain with you.
Mama is probably hiding from that big baby bull calf. "You're killin' me kid!"
Our walnuts are loaded this year in SE Indiana. We had branches that drooped all the way to the ground from the weight.
Could we please see the other ruminants, too? How are the new goats acclimating to your place?
Have a nice video on them coming this week
There are a few challenges where I live: 1. Land is hard to come by and too expensive 2. The land has way too much water. Meaning the animals have to be in a barn for the duration of fall and winter 3. Regulatory burden: government is forcing farmers to give up their land and place immense costs on running a business. It's pure persecution. Cattle needs more room, not less room. I'm in a country literally paved with greenhouses whose sole focus in growing flowers to be cut for supermarkets while persecuting the farmers who grow real food and real protein. There is no sane reason to have beef on offer at supermarkets that is mainly imported from somewhere else. Lamb is overpriced here. What is Europe doing, offshoring its own food production? Madness.
Netherlands is screwed.
The United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and the narcissistic sociopaths like Al Gore, George Soros, and Bill Gates are *ALL* conspiring with one another to destroy life as humans have developed it for the past 10,000 years. Europe is leading the way on with these shortsighted idiotic policies.
Handing all the money and business to as few people as possible. Giving your money to rich criminals. He who has the money makes the rules; he who makes the rules gets the money.
Go somewhere that's turning to desert so you can make the biggest difference.
@@Robinsons-ls8uf who said anything about europe?
Wondering why they dont go straight to the tall green fescue in bottom? Less diversity maybe
Nice here of cattle
Beautiful video, really enjoy your channel, I've never heard you comment on the black cows, why do you have them with the South Polls
I love your office Greg!
Thanks for the video! The tree had a lot of nuts on it. Those calves look like one of ours that is out of macho bull 814. Our other bull calf is longer but getting a bigger chest though.
That bull calf looking for mama… wow! He’s already a mini macho. Can’t wait to see him as a 2 & 3 year old bull. A few other ‘23 bull calves in the herd are built like him too. I wonder if the cattle used that heavy producing walnut tree as a shade tree last year & in the spring when they were in that area & it got heavily fertilized & mineralized. Would explain its heavy crop this year.
That was my first thought after you mentioned the green grass in the valley...why are the cows eating on the hillside?
It’s obviously tastier grass and more diversity of plants
Great video, I know I shouldn’t 😎if your video doesn’t have a shot of at least one cow, no like button 😎 can you get the grass on the hill sides to be like the grass in the bottom?
Is lifetime lease your lifetime or owner's?
How many inches of topsoil would you estimate this farm has gained over the 24 years you’ve been managing it?
Also, big shout out to the your Allis-Chalmers WD 45! We have my grandfather’s 1953 WD, which he purchased brand new.
6-7 inches from what we started with. It was covered with 100% broomsedge, moss and cedar trees.
Greg I noticed that you have some angus cows in the herd, did you just add these?
There has been a few in the herd for 23 years. They are all 50% South Poll/50% black angus
What do you do for minerals?
Free choice minerals, best way to nourish cows and land. Let the cows do the mineral testing and application. They're alot smarter than us in this respect.
Thanks@@charleswalters5284 -- I've heard of other people doing that, and that's what I was inclined to think was best, but I never saw a mineral 'stand' or anything in any of Greg's videos, so I wasn't sure if he did that or not. 😊
@@noahshinabarger big flat box divided on the inside like a wine bottle boxy with rubber flap on top (from old conveyor belt) cows can lift with their nose. Sits on 2 runner boards like a sled. They drag it along with the herd.
