@FarmBuilder I imagine you need cheap walk-in cooler... I can build one for you in one of the train boxes on wheels they have a device you can add to standard through wall a/c unit and trick it to run below the governor @60 just incase you have to hold some meat for awhile. I will use recycled Styrofoam mixed with aircrete for insulation. The cement is a different reaction than that expensive ridged insulation you would think to use.
@FarmBuilder I have watched your videos and purchased from your farm! So helpful and wonderful products! I’m curious if the MRCs could be adapted for egg layers🤔 I wonder how you build your skids! I was also thinking that your control woods- opposite from where you run your sows- could you rotate sides every ten years to keep the reforestation happening? Thanks so much 🙌🏽💚🌞
Jordan and family are a real inspiration in the regenerative ag movement - followed him since his Justin Rhodes appearance and have implemented similar things around our farm (including the shipping container brooder), and his attention to record keeping/financials is overlooked by so many. Many thanks for this, as he needs much more exposure/credit for what he is contributing!
My parents lived on a farm for 42 years and rented it all that time. The owners were wealthy and used the farm for a tax write off. The owners paid al taxes, insurance and upkeep. It was 360 acres and most of the land was useable. Plenty of hay fields, pasture, creeks with water year-round and a Hugh two story house and big red barn. This was in Ohio, now the great grandkids have it and never put a penny in it for repairs or upkeep. It breaks my heart to see such a big, beautiful farm falling down. My parents have passed on now. The farmhouse and barn were built in 1875.We never had a lease and paid the rent at the end of the year. 300.00 for the year. I know that is way off your story, but I just needed to tell it.
My great grand parents were farmers from Ohio, now I'm in Texas for the 3rd generation. It'd be so nice to take the family back to Ohio with 360 acres.
Thanks so much for this amazing video……it is awesome to see these innovations in practice and how this generation of stock raisers are adapting to this ever changing environment we live in. Thank you for being innovative and protecting the land for future generations❣️❣️
@@fidelsseecoomar3279 yep it’s all about not over grazing and when you move them reseed and water That way when they get back to the original start they will have new food,the ground has recovered and your building the soil all at the same time
The breeding sow sets (sounders) stay together since they were gilts. (Cuts down social conflicts) As they fail getting bred or otherwise failing out the sounders get smaller until they are half size then they all go. If you want to sound highfalutin, that is a stoichiometric decision rule.
Leasing needs to be more widely adopted. Sure it might be a little more challenging to setup correctly but I believe the benefits are so significant that we can’t ignore it.
Farm Builder shows me what my maternal gramps went through when he was farming first in mountainous Michoacán and then in eastern, coastal Texas, nothing like living in the country, it may get hard at times, but it's doable. When my grandpa and grandma finally moved to a small city, where people still raised their own birds and hogs, yes, it's harder to raise turkey poults than chicks, but my grandma was able to have a trusty turkey hen raise the last brood of 6 poults.👍
Awesome worship and awesome teaching. If you want to know how to come into the presence of God correctly and have God move on your behalf, then it would behoove you to watch and listen to this teaching. The teaching is accurate and straight from the Bible. Folks you can’t come into the presence of God any old kind of way. There is a model that we must follow. That model is beautifully presented and correlated in this video. Great job Bro. Seth. TGBTG in Jesus name.
just a idea for you to move those big 20 by 12 around the field easier on the feet of the first 3 poles going down run a skid but it still be hard to move them from field to field because if you don't have the width on your roads it's almost impossible to move from field to field
@@TheoneandonlyRAH the pasturebird system is a $150k building that supports 6000 birds per cycle year-round. The cost of automated systems are justified by the production. The DPRC would not IMO as the equipment would have to be removed for the winter uses and the cost per unit would be high. Also the maintenance of the system would require a higher level of technical expertise by the staff. Somewhere between buckets and the full auto system we'll find a good solution!
I consider that drilling through swamp to hit the aquifer level and then adding filter feeders would possibly restore the "clogged" habitat in some areas; i assume hydroelectric damming did more harm than good. "Carrington Event of 1859 and free energy catalogued during telegraph communications for the time of the auroras" should yield you something towards Nikola Tesla's truth, my friend.
Cool stuff with the forest forage. Glad that he had the side by side comparison towards the end. For you discerning listeners, he specifically mentioned the ungrazed forest as being in its regrowth phase which I find intriguing. Most US forests rely on treefall and dead groundcover that fosters our saplings to birth the tall strong tree species of our forests. While he is undoubtedly creating a beautiful ecosystem in the soil for his forage and for his grazers, there wont be much of if any new sapling growth to replace the big cover in the system. That’s probably 1-2 hundred years from happening though all the while he’s creating a healthy and vibrant habitat for his livestock. In a roundabout way, this is probably the best and healthiest way to naturally terraform a landscape from one type, which is forested, to something akin to a more open prairie. The push and pull is fascinating and has amazing potential for long term study Thanks for the video!
I don't understand why you are grazing the cull cows for a year or longer? You aren't growing them out to maturity, therefore, if you buy them 'light', with some decent forage, I would expect them to be fat and ready (300lbs) in far less than 12mo. What am I missing?
Couple reasons - 1. We market as grass finished and we want a full season in our system for quality purposes and so it's the same as buying stockers and finishing for a year. 2. We don't preg check them and want enough time for any calves to be born. We've had calves drop almost 9 months after buying the cow.
I just went on their site to check out meat prices. Good Lord, who in the world are they marketing to, the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous??? That food better show up with Gordon Ramsay ready to cook it.
They're within the D.C. market area for one reason. Also, good quality pasture-raised meat costs more to produce and commands a higher premium because it is in fact nutritionally superior and healthier for one than the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) raised stuff you get in a big box store.
He's selling 8 year old retired cows he's buying from auction as "grass fed" beef .......... Who the hell is buying that? Why would anyone pay anything over Walmart prices for cull cows that are fed grass for a year .......... USDA Choice Beef requires an animal under 2 years old....... He's buying a cow that would have been turned into dog food or a McDonald's patty and selling it a Grass Fed beef. You don't know what that cow was fed for the 8 years you bought it
Thanks so much for coming out to our farm!
Thank you very much for having us! It's been a pleasure.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! Great inspiration for the rest of us. God Bless!
@@FarmBuilder we need to learn this as a nation...self-relience and regenerative farming.

Great video on how it should be done. Jordan seems extremely knowledgable. What a wealth of information. J&L seems to be the whole ball of wax!
Thanks for watching! We agree!
Tons of great information! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your presentation.......I value innovation and it's clearly in evidence......keep it up, Harare. Zimbabwe, Africa
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Jordan is a great guy and a wealth of knowledge!
Couldn't agree more!
Jordan I remember you talking a bit about the cull cows🐄 on your channel I like the way you went in depth on that topic in this video👍
We're glad we could cover most of it :D
Wow, this video is absolutely fascinating!
We're glad you find it helpful!

Such impressive systems ,Jordan is a great teacher. Would feeder goats and sheep be able to create a similar silvopasture. 🤔.

Love this, just gave me so many more ideas on what we can do with ours. We were just using ours for freeze dryer foods. Love your channel.

Sounds great! Glad it helped!

Yeah, it's important to at least discuss it!

The 1st brooder trailer has an outdoor outlet that isn’t a GFI, no built in breaker.
Thanks for pointing that out! Safety is definitely important. @FarmBuilder could look into it :D
Why is the land so flat and beautiful where you live? In my area, it's all high hills and mountains
Surely your area has its perks as well!
ha, we have plenty of hills too!
What does Jordan think about the pasturebird autonomous system? Augur system for the feed?
Its impressive.
@@FarmBuilder thanks j or l! would you be taking any inspiration from them for your system? or do you not think your scale would support it?

"lifetime lease" is code for family land.
@@bo4arrow nope, it is not family land.
