Come join Ian Mitchell Innes and myself at our farm May 8th-10th for our advanced grazing school. Do it right the first time when setting up your own farm. Our beginner's grazing school is May 16-17th.

Good morning all! I never tire of watching the moms and babies! And, great to have the terrific trio together. I'll be catching up on weekends (working again), instead of dropping off like I did last time. I know the grazing school will be great! Thank you ranchers, for all that you do!
Thanks for the video! It sure is nice having warmer weather, but it would be nice to have a few inches of snow too. We had freezing rain the other day, and people were in ditches. It is really funny how animals prefer pasture over hay. I set a round bale out in the pasture to eat for my sheep. They would nibble on the hay just a little bit then go back out in the pasture to eat more grass.
Teddy's area getting 10 inches of rain this week.
Hey Greg! I know this doesn’t relate much to the video, but I’m curious.
Have you had any issues with your cows protecting their babies from predators and raising them good? I work with Brahma mommas and the argument to keep them is that they’re outstanding moms. But they don’t enjoy us being around their babies. Do these south poll moms do good about protecting their babies?
With our cattle mob bunched together and moved twice per day in one large mob, we have zero predation. Our cows absolutely chase off any coyote or dog that gets close to the herd. The cow weighs 1000 lbs versus a 50 lb coyote, game over.!!
Hey Greg do you have a lot of quail on your farms grazing this way?
Back in the 70’s there were quail coveys everywhere. They’re gone, many reasons I’ve heard why they are. Not sure why but it may be a combination of things.
For the steers, how does that work economically, 4 steers all the way to Texas. 800 lbs, they will grow to 1100 but will take a year. They can sell it for enough to make it worth it?
