Nice work George! That is some tough soil to work with but the journey will be a fun challenge! Bring in some carbon and lay the fertility to her and she’ll take off!
George can you do a video about the history of your land? What was it before? How long have you had it? When did you start regenerative grazing? At the 6 minute mark the grass looks so much better there. What did you do different and try and replicate it.
I’ve heard Joel Salatin say that his father used to pay them (25 ¢ or 50¢) for each thistle they cut down when he first bought what is now PolyFace decades ago. He says they don’t have thistles now. Whatever you do, I think I would cut the ones you can see before they go to seed. Flerd looks great!
I have seen them eat a few blossoms off these ones, the Canadian thistle though they will eat right up. Maybe if I tightened them up they would put more pressure on them.
My dad sent my brother and I out with a hoe and later a scythe, as soon as they wilted a bit the cows gobbled them up. Later when we had sheep they never bloomed again, we pushed them a bit but the thistles were gone.
Don’t forget to keep the free choice minerals full ..they eat what grass is lacking in nutrients and poop out what the body don’t absorb then that helps improve plant development
Nice info, love the multi species grazing. How long to adapt LGD'S to cattle. Was that difficult. #naturalgramma has not tried that yet. We have goats, right now. Want to add hair sheep. #aluminumchickentractor Natural Gramma LLC RevHank and Laura Reid Na
always wondered about that plastic pipe and all the plastic that gets in the water, especially like you said when it gets warm... Same with hydroponics, plastic everywhere, and non of it food grade ( if that even means anything these days )
You might want to no till drill into that seat pasture some peas or some thinG. Because that's super thin. Get some activity. You also might want to get goats. Not a lot like 3 or 4 feeder goat kids for major scrap weeds. You don't need a flock but they can help you a lot when early rotational management. If you got a goat that knows to eat properly.
Dr Catherine Jones, a leading ag science person in the regen agriculture world in australia did trials. Molasses to water 1:40 sprayed on thistle and weed paddocks worked well. But these were paddocks where you had to put a welding suit on to walk through it,,,, you only have a few thustles here and there, maybe just not give the stock so much room, tighten them up a bit maybe
If your trying to copy greg judy, he'd never give them that much ground for a 24 hour period to be honest I think, there are only small stock numbers there,,,, the camera angles are deceiving, maybe I'm wrong?

Thanks Jordan, every day is a new challenge. Will be a winter of unrolling hay and putting down fertility.
George happy to seeing your vedio and thank you for posting it
Thank you for watching.

That is a good idea, thank you.

Won't the sheep munch the thistle?
I have seen them eat a few blossoms off these ones, the Canadian thistle though they will eat right up. Maybe if I tightened them up they would put more pressure on them.
My Uncle Doty paid us a quarter for every thistle and burdock we cut out of the pasures. For a kid in the late 50s, early 60s, that was a fortune. lol
My dad sent my brother and I out with a hoe and later a scythe, as soon as they wilted a bit the cows gobbled them up. Later when we had sheep they never bloomed again, we pushed them a bit but the thistles were gone.
Thank you Doug, I will have to try that.
Looking great! Thanks for sharing.
The quality of water is important it’s the number one improvement that pays off great water source of water er is key
Well done George cattle looking great. 👏
Thank you Sean, much appreciated.

Just takes a good mama cow to keep the dogs in check.

I'm not a fan of it for sure, but it seems to be an almost unavoidable part of life.

Getting whistle at the right time is important.
Best beef you'll ever have, Jursey/south pol.
I hope so
what state is this?
Minnesota

You can torch the thistles and the cows will eat them then.
Spray the thistles with molasses, the cows will eat them. Nutritionally, a thistle is equivalent to good alfalfa.
That is definitely worth a try, I've never heard of that. Thank you

Sorry Dr Christine Jones did those trials, her work is pretty good in this field.

Well, Greg himself told me to stick with my current stocking density.
@@georgeheller2281 ok, whatever number he gave you, its ok to tune it 10% plus or minus for what is ok at your place. Every farm is different.
