- Greg explains how to daily strip graze and extend the water lane daily. When you are faced with limited water points on your farm, here is a great method to use to get water access to each daily strip. Cattle have 4 legs and can walk a good distance to water if they need to.
If you want to set up your own grazing operation correctly for profitable grazing each year, check out our May grazing schools coming up by clicking here: greenpasturesfarm.net/grazing-...

I was there two years ago, to grazing school.
Changed my life.
I’m drinking my morning coffee and looking out over the Vermont pasture side outside our window.
We just solved our water issue - took thinking and work but did it - and we are getting our first cattle next Monday.
Thank you, Greg!
Congratulations, good job. All the best to you in your future grazing endeavors!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher you know it!
Greg you mention learn. Since I have discovered your TH-cam channel about 9-10 years ago I have learned so much on what to do and definitely what not to do it's amazing! Your grazing schools are a great place to expand one's knowledge and to meet other like minded individuals wanting to turn to the land to raise cleaner food and to have independence once again. You are a great inspiration to all generations who want to live on the land.
Greg your ethics is the main reason we follow you and like doing business with you. You and Jan are role models.
Thanks Jeanie for your kind words!!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I agree with Jeanie. Your lifting up of your young men, acknowledging their contributions and energy … that was what got me to go to the school. Your positive energy and knowledge was certainly part of it, but your open and honest appreciation for people around you … rare. Real leadership.
I wonder if your neighbor might like some good beef? Perhaps he would be willing to trade water for some steaks. I would
Yeah, those cows won't drink that much, and they would be rotated out of that area in a few days. I would love to have Greg as my neighbor..
Today's pearls: 45° trick, thanks for the logic of it; 40" between raindrops 😂 ; think positively; save $ and work for a better future. We've been seeing more eagles in northcentral PA, too
Good morning Greg thank you for taking us with you on your journey
Interested in how you dispose of your finished cattle to "put money in your pocket." I assume you don't take them to auction, and I know you sell small herds of your young stock / bull stock to other breeders, but I don't recall you ever saying what you do with the bulk of all that bulk. Would be an interesting video I think.
Direct market for finished steers.
Only our culls go to the auction barn. We direct market most of our animals directly to the customer. No middleman is involved.

What did you do to determine the height of the single strand. Is it the height you can safely step over or is it determined by the height of your breed’s nose?
@bradquigley3676 cattle single wire paddock divisions have a 28-29” height. Single wire sheep paddocks are 10” height.
Best thing you said in the entire video, be thankful for what you have, good stuff!!
i remember my classic desktop pc watching those hills
Thanks for the video! It’s a great feeling grazing your animals. Yesterday I got my first lamb. She weighed 11.5# out of a first time mama. She sure is a pretty thing. She lambed about 10-11 days early. I had to help my son with a school project that had to do with reusing what you already had so we took an old picture frame and some wood and bought some painted to make a small chalkboard. I think this project kind of make kids think outside the box to make something new out of it.
That is awesome!
Thanks for the wisdom.
Greg have you ever considered using prescribed burns to clear problem areas, improve plant growth and quality, and add BioChar to your soil. BioChar is the thousand year additive to improved soil.
Prescribed burning is indeed a valuable tool for managing grazing pastures, especially when aiming for regenerative practices. Let’s delve into the details:
Frequency of Burns:
Burning should be carried out every 3 to 5 years when an excessive amount of dry material accumulates on the pasture from previous years or when weeds have infested over 50% of the stand1.
Avoid burning too early, as it may allow weeds to regrow more rapidly, increasing competition during grass green-up1.
Growing-Season vs. Dormant-Season Burns:
Dormant-season burns typically occur from December 1 to April 30.
Growing-season or “summer” burns fall between June 1 and October 1.
While dormant-season fires are more traditional, there’s a case for scheduling fire during the summer months:
Safety: Summer burns are safer due to less volatile weather conditions.
Diversity: They add diversity to your burning program.
Brush Management: Summer burns are harder on encroaching brush2.
Benefits of Prescribed Burns:
Forage Quality: Burning rejuvenates native rangelands, leading to more nutrient-dense and palatable growth for both livestock and wildlife.
Economical Approach: Burning is relatively cost-effective compared to other brush management methods.
Preserving Grasslands: Prescribed burns help preserve native grass, control weeds, prevent wildfires, and maintain grassland ecosystems2.
Weight Gain: Research shows that cattle gain weight more easily on pastures that have been burned3.
In summary, periodic prescribed burns can play a crucial role in maintaining healthy grazing lands, promoting biodiversity, and enhancing overall productivity. Remember to tailor the burn frequency to your specific environment and management
Good morning
I’m going to use that “40 inch rain” term !
Make your neighbor a 3 minute video explaining the pond-tank information you just told us. Maybe he would watch it. Just set it to “Private” and give him the link.
Lucky man!
Morning Greg Thanks for the video. Question: how does your South poll beef taste compared to angus and where might one try it?
South Poll tastes great!
Do they dig basements there in MO? Just wondering how they planned to have houses there if that gas line is a big issue.
Lots of homes have basements under them around here. With all the hills the basements are not as apt to leak.
When are we going to see a new video of this years sheep and the lambs?
They don’t start lambing until May 1st
Thank You for the update, will be waiting patiently.
how do you keep them from forming a cattle trail back to the water on that water lane?
Don’t keep them on a lane longer than 3 days. Also if you see a lane forming, move the poly wire and step in posts out to cover it. This makes them take a new path.
What is an odoamolly?
Autumn Olive bush is an invasive plant that takes over farms.
I'm an optimistic pessimist I know things are going to go wrong
My dad had a saying, "If the landlord was as bad as the land, no one could farm the place"
Your 10 acre neighbor may be an example of that situation.You can't fix stupid.
Just tell him, "Here's your sign"
Or … he could do as Greg Judy does and live his best life without worrying about his neighbor’s silliness.
"if the land was as bad as the landlord"
Neighbor doesn't know how little water that would be, or that it would only be one day every couple of months.
