Thanks Tim! Always a great help and we appreciate it
You are very welcome.
Thanks Tim. As a retired dairy farmer I will have to say you covered that well. I have had people ask me my opinion. Only to find out they believe there is no equal to alfalfa. Tried to explain benefits of good mixture. Also alfalfa likes well drained soil. Wasting time and money as it is intensive crop to manage. Unfortunately I have found most people only wanted me to tell them what they wanted to hear. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the message, Jeffrey. We see a lot of hay producers pushing alfalfa because they can get a premium. As we mentioned in the video, some of the all natural folks seem to think it has all they need and won’t feed anything else. We’ve had some recent customers quite literally lose their minds when they found out their alfalfa is GMO and sprayed with insecticide. We have large commercial dairy operations (corporate) in our area now and most of the old farm fields that were once small custom baled for small far use have been gobbled up and are roundup-ready, chemically treated alfalfa. They cut it wet and truck it off where it is packed for silage. It is actually getting difficult to find hay in our area now because all of the guys that used to bale are now selling everything they can to the larger commercial operations.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a message and thanks for watching our videos. We appreciate your continued support. 😬
@@LinessaFarms wow. Just wow.
Thank you for such extensive research in your videos. I know you’re VERY busy.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching our videos and taking the time to leave us a kind message. It is appreciated.
Many thanks Tim, intriguing. We’ve learnt a lot from you. God bless you
Thank you very much for your support and for watching the videos.
Great Video Tim! There is definitely not enough talk about the balance of protein and energy. Depending on your farm management and genetics, too much protein can be a challenge. Some of the best education I've gotten has been from the dairy folks. They know nutrition better than most and understand it's not always all about protein. It seems the focus is always on protein however if you don't have the energy to balance you will quickly see your animals lose condition. I'm in Southern Indiana and have to say ever since we have turned drier and brittle this year my sheep have exploded in growth on pasture only. With channels like yours I think you help bridge the knowledge gab between big farms, universities and the real world of smaller homestead farming!
Hello, Lee. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a message and thank you for your continued support of our channel. Animals losing body condition on high protein pasture is something most people are not aware of. We too have seen a good increase in growth this fall as our overall protein levels drop. Our sheep seem to tolerate higher protein levels during lush summer growth than our goats. I don’t know why this is but we’ve seen it for many years now. Best wishes to you and your family.
Can't love your videos enough.
Thanks, Bob. We appreciate your continued support. 👍🏻
@@LinessaFarms it's easy to support someone that has taught me so much and works so hard to get facts out there in the world! Thanks!
Oh those crazy chemicals. It makes me so mad. How can we possibly avoid them? They’re in everything now. I feel like we have to grow EVERYTHING ourselves to ensure we’re not getting any…. Great video Tim!!
Thanks, Heidi. We appreciate your continued support and are glad you took the time to leave us a message. Yes, chemicals everywhere and sometimes in places we don’t even think to look. 😬
Wow you are wealth of knowledge! Thanks for putting all these videos together. It's so much work. We are so thankful.
Thank you for watching our videos and for taking the time to leave us a kind message. We appreciate it!
Great info, thank you. You said you feed 50/50, what is the other 50% you feed?
Our fields are about half legumes such as alfalfa and clover mixed with various grasses to include orchard grass, Timothy, rye, and Bermuda.
The best one
Thank you! We appreciate your support.
Great content Tim. Can you comment on proper storage of alfalfa when bought in bulk for feeding goats over 12 months. Thank you.The average tempurature and humidity in Jamaica are about 90⁰F and 71% respectively.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Keep it dry/out of direct moisture and it will last at least 2 years. 👍🏻
Thanks for the great video Tim! Lots of great information, as always. I guess the question eating at me now is probably the opposite question from everyone else: why do people think GMO is bad? Idk if I'm undereducated or overeducated, but it seems to me that the only chemicals being used are at the embryonic stage, in order to make the cell membrane more permeable to take in foreign DNA and splice it into the genome. After that, the seeds are grown like any other plant and usually need less added chemicals (pesticides, herbicides), less watering, and are more prolific than the non-GMO counterpart. Theoretically GMOs are a key component in solving world hunger and climate change, so... what am I not getting?
Most people are told they are bad so they just assume they are bad. I got beat up pretty bad last week by a viewer that referred to beans and corn as “garbage” because of GMO. She was not happy when I informed her about GMO alfalfa. The good news is, it made me realize there are a lot of people who make assumptions. The reality is, we have been genetically modifying crops since ancient history. Sometimes it’s done the long way (maize) other times we do it in a lab. I am limited to what I can put out there in regard to information and keep people’s attention/run a successful CZcams sheep and goat site. Most people don’t understand DNA, how it works and how modification works. The same people would tell you that worm resistant strains of livestock are great so they don’t have to use chemical wormers…. Not realizing these animals are “genetically modified”. I am not averse to GMO usage. To be honest, I’m not sold on the glyphos dangers either. The Lorsban is some nasty crap…. I’ve read enough literature on that to be convinced. The reality is genetic modification should eventually help to reduce the need for a lot of these chemicals. As you know, it can also help to boost nutritional value as well. Lots of benefits to be had. The video was basically to help people understand that they need to take a step back when it comes to feed and stop making assumptions. The other point was to educate people about what they are actually getting. Unfortunately, some of these farms know their customers are buying a product they think is “all natural” (whatever the consumer thinks that is) and it’s actually exposed to more chemicals than the “dreaded” grains. Unfortunately, there is a whole subset of people with very little knowledge who like to give advice on livestock husbandry which in turn leads to a lot of sick and dead animals.
Basically, you’re not getting the emotional, irrational part. 😬
@@LinessaFarms lol!
@@LinessaFarms such an interesting discussion. Thanks for looking into things like this and for educating the rest of us!!
Trying to find out the facts about the hay I buy has been impossible. Is there anything I can say that would cause them to answer, or find out from the person they bought the hay from wholesale?
I doubt it. A lot of people purchase hay from auctions and they don’t even know who the grower is. I can tell you which cutting a bale is and which field it came from and when, but my hay comes from my farm. It is difficult. There are labs online you can search for which will test your hay for protein content and nutrition. I would try to find one in your area. Remember though, you can get wide swings in content from the same seller. We really need to make a video about hay!
roundup ready alfalfa, no thanks.
This is definitely a not well talked about product. We are more concerned about the pesticide but will definitely take a hard pass on both.
