What a gorgeous sky behind you it looks like a gorgeous day there.
Beautiful, and absolutely love that sky too!
Awesome 💩 pads, lol ;-)
I swear, your wonderful shares of the farm and wise land use came to mind a fraction of a moment before your video upload showed up in my notifications. Good day, and thanks as always 3👍💓
You should discuss and show some sheep manure like this as well! Thanks Greg as always!
I had a blast at your grazing school back in May of 2019 Greg. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend it this coming year because someone sold me a bunch of sheep I have to take care of.....lol. Those cows are so pretty, that one behind you there at the end is about as wide as she is tall.
I have seen other videos where the person has chickens as well. They move the cattle off, let it stay a week or so, the dung beetles go to work, the flies eggs hatch, and the chickens go to work on the maggots, high protein for great eggs, and no feed costs.
Great video!! Pasture looks great and Your cattle are so happy and healthy
Beautiful Cows Great Fields Love to watch your Vlog
Now you need to show us a pretty sheep manure pile...or scattering. LOL Mine are putting out veritable sheets of pellets now and it looks so good on the land. Love how smoothly coated your cows are, even with winter coats....not a rough looking coat in the bunch.
Grazing school sounds like a great Christmas present!
Very enlightening.
Hi Greg, Why not reduce paddock size and minimize soiled grass lost to the hoof traffic that you mention. Graze them once more densely this winter and double your paddock number instead of coming back around in 60 days? Thanks, I really enjoyed the grazing school in Albany. Worth every minute and penny!

To much pugging and mud to put them in tight right now. It is raining everyday it seems. We will come back and get a second graze in 60 days.
Mr. Judy is it possible for me to buy beef from you? I live in VA and would have to pay to have shipped. I don’t mind that at all. I’m no familiar with the laws as far as shipping food across state lines. Hope you your family and crew have a great Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for living in the greatest nation in the world!!
He sells it to meat companies that sell grass fed beef. you can ask him about them and contact them for shipping
Greg are you feeding free choice minerals to your cattle still?
Greg, you have probably answered this 100 times before but what percent of your stock leaves to become freezer meat directly and what percent leaves to become breeding stock for other people? Your animals look so healthy and happy. Makes me want to start a ranch but my condo association will not allow animals to graze on the golf course!
Tim Kerr its the same thing here Tim, my back yard is the city park,this past weekend the city had a Celtic festival thousands of people no room for cows. Joe in Dunedin,Florida.
Great content. Thank you, Greg.
Love the face on that bull he's gorgeous
Looks great for such cold weather!! How small does your herd become? When do you call your animals?
Another great video and very interesting 👍 👍
Hi Greg, did you end up buying less hay bales this year due to the better precipitation this year? (Assuming a better winter stockpile)
Absolutely less hay purchased this fall. We have a ton of grazing in front of us assuming we don't get 2 feet of snow!!!
I wonder what the milk like off those cows. in New Zealand, they run low line milking cows. on a pretty much 100% or nearly 100% grazing program. huge guts.
How do you maintain / mow those wet spots by the pond that you fence off from the cattle? I’m mostly wondering how to mow those areas and not tear it up or get stuck? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Hello Greg
Where are you located. Kinda curious about how your area stacks up against us. We are running 120 cows but I want to try and get things a lot better around here.
That’s a beautiful manure pad..🤭🤣😂
Will there be any bulls or heifers for purchase at your grazing school?
There will be bulls available for sale at our spring grazing school, all females are spoken for already for 2020.
How much livestock and pasture do you have now. How many cows and how many sheep
So why not let them take all they want since the growing season is over? If your going to come back and graze that same chewed off grass, wouldn’t it save you some work to just move them less and give them more time on each paddock?
Our pastures are very soft with the various rains and snow that we have had. By moving them twice per day onto new land, the animals don't have a chance to put it up. Also by moving more frequently, the animals are kept out of their manure which drastically reduces your parasite exposure.
Greg, what happens to paddocks when the cattle are not allowed to graze it for a year or more? Do the paddocks become less healthy?
The grass turns in the straw and throws seed heads. Basically, grass grows green for about 90 days then turns brown and puts up seed heads. Once all the grass in a field is brown there is very little protein left to keep the animals healthy. They could get mastitis from eating nothing but grass seed.
Do you drag your pastures?
What’s the price tag of the grazing school?
thank you man!
4:18 "leaving the farm".. So you truck them from farm to farm? Might make a good video explaining the logistics.)
Or are they walking to an adjoining farm?
We never haul our animals from farm to farm. They walk to the next targeted farm to graze.
I want to learn more about buying a good bull
Come to our grazing school, that topic is covered.
That needs a lot of attention to detail what kind of cows you have how big where are you located what you want to produce but for me I want docility calving ease good feet and strong legs for our rough MTN land . we use red balancer bulls which is gelbvieh and red Angus every heifer we produce is better than the mother high marbling low maintenance gentle calves that always do great at the salebarn
That first patty had a face
Greg, these people near where I work own several horses (10 give or take), and their grazing methods are just.. awful. I drive by and I see these few horses on this big paddock, and they've obviously grazed the preferred stuff down to the ground, while the less palatable stuff keeps growing, and none of it has proper time to recover. I'm honestly rewatching your videos trying to figure out a single video making the case for why they should rotational graze that I can just write on a post-it and leave on their front door with a very short note.
Simply purchase a copy of Holistic Management 3rd Edition by Allen Savory. It explains 'Animal Impact Days Per Acre'.
In the original 1988 book the formula is the first entry of the Glossary on page 509.
@@clovergreen9959 Nice, I'll look for a copy, thank you!
What State are you grazing in Greg?
Missouri
He has a website, but to narrow it down more. I think it's more north central Missouri.
Sounds good, thanks guys
Hey Greg I disagree a little bit on that I got 28 paddocks but I have dairy cows and I have Lanes I have to keep up. and my paddocks between 2 and 6 Acres and I can divide them in half or thirds and I do just like you got and personally I think mine are better than yours.
Good job!
Why wouldn't you have them say for longer and eat more instead of moving them away just to bring them back on the same land when nothing has changed in the meantime because this is dormant season and nothing is growing?
Ohh never mind I read your reply further down the comment line.
That would be something we would consider too, moving them twice a day, especially this fall since it has been the wettest in 70 years. We are on low lying very flat ground tho were land prices are high and the land is used for cropping mostly.
