I am keenly interested in establishing native grasses on our small homestead in Western North Carolina. I lost all interest in your video, however, when it became obvious that you are convinced of the necessity of herbicides. If I cannot get natives to grow without poisoning my land, I will plant timothy, bluegrass, and clover.

Hi there, I am completely new to any of this. City boy trying to escape and become a farmer. Super interested in all this stuff, I think about it all day. I have a question (sorry if it is a stupid Q), how do cows approach grass for feeding. Do they tend to eat pastures systematically as in the herd goes from front to back or is it not well organized? Every cow takes up a little piece of real estate. Also when they approach , lets say, a sqr ft of fresh grass and its 3 ft high. Do they eat the first ft and move on or do they eat it close to the ground? My reasoning is that of you have tall grass ready for a herd, how do you manage the length of grass to avoid it being eaten till 3-inches of the ground instead of maybe 10 inches leaving it more healthy and capable of regenerating faster. I have no experience, again, just very interested in everything.

Skip knows!

confusing

Utia,Good morning, Yeah- you created professional , goodnight~

Watching from Jefferson City, TN

Thank you this is great info

I don't worry about weeds unless they're poisonous, rotating goats then sheep then the pigs and the weeds become forage too. Weeds sometimes add to the soil health.

Fantastic video. Thank y’all!!

"Promo sm"

Great info until the long list of herbicides. We gotta stick to common sense solutions, not create a new problem while solving another

Thats why i planted Bermuda in my pastures, because its hard to control. It is a heavy traffic fast recovery grass that puts a lot of weight on my cattle, sheep and goats. If properly using pasture rotation, i only need enough hay to get me through two to three months of winter.

Thank you

So how do you make it rain ?

are CEUs still available for this webinar? I signed up initially, but missed the live broadcast due to work.

How would you advise a disabled person on a fixed income if her neighbor's dying tree limbs are hanging over her property overhanging her back porch and touching the power lines to her house and she is unsure if the root growth is presenting problems to her foundation? She neither has the ability to prune the trees nor the money to hire a contractor, and/or an attorney. And she doesn't know who owns the property next door since it has been vacant for the 5 years she has owned her house.

Maybe the greatest pollywogging adventure of all time

Minimum height is 14 inches. My cattle over graze in patches and intensive rotational grazing forces the cattle to proceed to eat the clumps. Not conducive to maintaining 14 inch height minimum. I have yet to see a presentation that addresses this fundamental management issue.

This was very helpful thanks for sharing. We planted early May of 2022 about 2.5 acres on our property, I mowed a lot last year and we had about 15" of rain in May. Then from June to now May of 2023 we have had so little rain in Kansas its been a terrible drought, so i am not sure how its doing or not. On another 2.5 acres i have buffalo grass planted as well but having a hard time establishing it too, mainly from lack of rain sigh

How does this process differ for trees and shrubs that produce suckers, such as dogwoods, aspen, willows, and honeysuckles?

I like worms

🙂 *promosm*

Excellent presentation.

A weed is only a weed if livestock doesn’t touch it. I never use any chemicals Fertilizer or weed killer . Just do it naturally. I don’t even use the seeder thing you have I cast it out by Hand and use my livestock to put it in soil when they graze it

If tree is on common ground and falls due to storm who is responsible for removal

I really hate that the proposed solution for Bermuda is just a shit ton of roundup.

amazing, amazing, Dear Profesor how can we manage Braquiaria C4 tropical pasture?

This is great information! Good video thanks for the education!

hanks a lot for the video. Thanks a lot for the video. Quite useful!! I have a doubt. Does someone know a university in the USA that offers courses or a training program for three months in grasslandads or perennial forage crops managment? I am a farming engineer from Argentina, and I am working in this field. My wish is to improve my Knowledge in this area. Thanks a lot again!

Hello there, am I correct in that the replay of the webinars does not count for arborist CEUs? Only the live ones earn credits. Thank you, Jim H.

Great info video

You say rest crops before winter and don’t start grazing in early spring. So where the heck do the animals go. Do they fast for 4 months.

Great and detailed content. Was this property in Tennessee? There is a lot that is applicable to native grass restoration in the more arid parts of the country, even if not used for grazing.

Getting Grants and selling costly inputs.

Thank you for sharing!

So I'm curious. Here in northern Missouri my 30A is mostly cool season grasses. There is some big blue an eastern gamma. I'm noticing the eastern gamma is starting to show up more an more every year. How do I keep it from taking over?

I can't believe this is free, so well made, I will thank Pat Keyser and the team who made this video course and upload it to TH-cam.

Cool!

Type 3 crew. LOL

Nice Program! I'm glad I looked up Champion Trees. I was wondering about trees in Jefferson, Sevier & Knox Counties inTN

Cool.We kiowas worked with them many moons ago! All over USA.

Excellent information! I am glad that you addressed burning in management. Thank you!

Wonderful state program!!

This is a wonderful program. We are seeing way too much logging around our area, in Tullahoma, TN.

Beautiful trees.

Much of this corresponds to what Savory teaching in holistic planned grazing. However, I notice you don't make the same extraordinary claims he does about doubling or quadrupling stock density and this methods ability to withdraw carbon back into the earth enough to take us back to pre-industrial levels.

This was very helpful thanks a lot!

Great vid Chris!
