Custom Grazing Dairy Cows - Trees for Graziers
We finally left the farm for a day! Mary and I attended the 2025 Ohio Grazing Conference in Mt. Hope, Ohio. Definitely a worthwhile trip if you are in the area and are interested in regenerative agriculture and ranching.
In this segment, I interview Joshua from Trees for graziers. He has some really good insight on custom grazing dairy cows.
Thank you @treesforgraziers2878 !!

    Thank you for the video. I have considered the RPS systems for years. I see the pumps are commonly on sale. Could you do a follow up on the cost breakdown of getting the system installed? You lead me to believe there is a lot more to it than just the initial pump kit purchase.

    Nice setup. I run a Cycle 12 Joule off batteries year round in Canada and it works great. If you switch to a Victron Smartsolar 100/20 charge controller and a 300watt - 550watt solar panel it should cover your needs and not have to anymore charging. Will only charge your batteries at 288 watts at the highest rate, but being overpanelled covers for dim days to keep it at 288 watts at most times. Look around and you can get a big panel for pretty cheap.

    • @laughlinhighlandsfarm

      That's some good advice - thank you! The issue that I have run into lately is finding racking for larger single panels. There isn't a great source it seems unless I look on ebay, etc. which always makes me nervous.

    • @laughlinhighlandsfarm
      @laughlinhighlandsfarm 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have not actually! The shade cloth allows most of the wind to pass through, and we get some crazy stiff winds living up on a hill. There isn't a lot of weight up top, so the entire assembly is very stable. We live in the foothills of the appalachians, so we are constantly traversing hills and we have had no issues.

    FEMA only Came for 1 day to do application then never saw them again! They Didn’t help here either, ONLY help we had was from People who donated their time and resources🙏😇😇😇. A lot of us are still without homes and haven’t been able to afford to get our house repaired if still standing. Makes no sense FEMA will pay for hotel rooms but not help you fix your home . I know God is a loving God and we all wonder why God allows bad things to happen . I know it’s to bring us closer to him.

    The primary reason I see to not use square bales is driving a heavy vehicle in he field to disperse it, that's why I think the Greg Judy Bale unroller is the ticket.

    • @laughlinhighlandsfarm
      @laughlinhighlandsfarm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We agree! We were just talking about this the other day. The squares are convenient from a storage perspective, but getting them into the field would cause a lot of wear and tear on the field itself with the heavy equipment (especially with the wet winters we get in Ohio).

    Just wondering…. Couldn’t.. or shouldn’t… there be a way to mount a mineral feeder onto the frame? Just moving 2 things with 1 pull?

    • @laughlinhighlandsfarm
      @laughlinhighlandsfarm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have definitely given it some thought. Right now, we have the mineral feeder chained to the back of the running gear so that it drags behind the shade mobile when we move it. It would be nice to mount it in the middle, but it weighs about 1000 lbs and the center pipe is only 2.5" OD, so we would have too much deflection. For now dragging works well, but I would love to hang it the back of the running gear somehow! A future engineering project for sure. Thank you for watching!

  • @oprophetisfake9482

      @laughlinhighlandsfarm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We agree 100% !!! Check out the rest of our channel. All of our animals are 100% grass fed and on pasture in a managed intensive grazing program. We just had them in the corral so that we could have the vet vaccinate the calves.

    The best way to peel the round bales I've found is make sure you get the bottom peeled first. Otherwise each layer will leave more on the bottom making each layer harder to peel.

    • @laughlinhighlandsfarm
      @laughlinhighlandsfarm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have not, but that sounds tremendous! Fat is the important part. Specifically, extremely high quality fat. That’s where you get the browning effect and the herb retention. If it works for your process, go for it and report back :) For the record, my wonderful wife prefers the duck fat over the chicken fat.
