Its SO cool that you now have a dedicated bull farm, congrats! How might you handle the males if you had, say, a dozen ewes on, say, a 5 to 10 ac small farm?
I’m relatively certain he’s done a video showing what to look for in a bull, and which bulls he makes into steers. Just hard to find because Greg is pretty prolific with the videos.
Greg, cattle are looking great! Question on my mind today is, When are you going to write a book on hair sheep? I don't think I'd be the only fan to buy it!
I am bale grazing (still learning to stockpile) and I’m wondering if you have any advice about if/when we need to keep the cows off the grass as it breaks dormancy? I’m in western North Carolina and we are having a warm February and we are already seeing the pasture start to green up. I’m concerned about them eating too much grass when it’s in this slow initial growth stage. Our small heard goes through a bale every 3 days, then we move them to a new paddock/bale. Should we move them off the grass into a sacrifice area? Move them more quickly? Give them larger paddocks? Any advice would be really helpful!
Will you be adding bird nesting boxes to this farm? If so can you make a video of installing them? Showing where you place them and why you chose that location?
I can feel them getting warmed by the sun. When you cut and paint a honey locust, do you have to get all the cut brush out of the pasture or can you leave it on the ground?
You know your animals are getting plenty to eat. They are not balling for something to eat. Here in Tennessee farmers are putting out rings for hay. It just makes a mess, and must be moved to put more hay out. Then the mess that is left after they are move. My dad and I use to do this years again. I know firsthand the mess it makes that must be cleaned up. I like the bale how you feed. It doesn’t leave and mess, plus feeds the soil also. Blessings🙂
Greg you should try a weed eater with a saw blade on it for the brush. Would cut the grass out of the way plus’s cut of the brush without bending over.
Good morning, Greg. Is there any particular time of year or weather condition that you would avoid painting stumps during? How long before a rain does the product need to dry?
@Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher yes, but I'm curious if there are any weather conditions or seasons of the year where you would recommend waiting until another day to cut the tree?
Thanks for video! It looks nice and calm there. Sun is good for the soul. It seems the animals know what is best but us humans we sometimes have to find it the hard way. Some people understand and some people don’t. I’m hoping I’m going the right direction and understanding more as the days go by. With your videos, I’m getting brighter as each video is published on TH-cam!
In most of New England we have small farms, I don't understand why people that want to produce beef to market insist on cow calf. They waste good grass on a losing proposition. For example 15 cows in a herd 97 acres and processes 3 head a year. Plus rents a bull. I know they bought 10 grand in hay. Now this is a award winning farm here.
Very true about the vaccination program. You can get away without it for years and when you have trouble it's big trouble. One year we had a pen of replacement ewe lambs that were vaccinated and a pen of ram lambs that were not. Lost 5 out of 20 ram lambs. Did not lose any ewe lambs.
The bulls come out March 1st and are put back in the cow herd July 1st. In 23 years all we have seen is herd improvement. Thicker made bodies, no more giraffe legged cows, much more adapted to our farm environment. If you think about our deer herds, who keeps the dominant buck from breeding his daughters? Nobody. It has happened for 1000’s of years and the deer population is doing just fine.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher hello Greg, thank's for your work. do you remove bulls from the herd from March to July to let the cows rest? I'm going to create a farm and ask myself the question of leaving them together all the time because in wild herds, the female must make sure to refuse to mate the time to rest after having had her calf, right? sorry it's a google translation because I speak french....

Thank you for sharing that nice beautiful Mother Nature.
Do a video showing the bulls you want to band. Explain why you picked the ones you did to band. What makes a good vs bad one?

@@paulwinters6024 Yes, he has, I think more than one
What is "Byclate" actually?is it the same as cobalt vit.b12? Steve asking all the way from waikaremoana new zealand.

Will have to do that one of these days in my spare time😊

I heard Joel Salatin say once that it is thorns that cause blackleg.

Would really like to see a video on why you band some bulls and some you do not, enjoy your channel

45 degrees is 7 in Celsius.
So how large a herd and flock do you aspire? Is there a number where labor, handling and transportation become an issue?
How often do you need to give your cattle a black leg shot? Is it a once in a animals lifetime thing or annually?
Awesome!!
How would these cows do in Colorado?

We have 4 of them with the Ninja star blade on them, they work awesome and definitely save your back.
Do you sharpen your O’Brien step ins?
That has to be nice down in the banana belt Up north here we have minus 15 and two feet of snow
Good morning, Greg. Is there any particular time of year or weather condition that you would avoid painting stumps during? How long before a rain does the product need to dry?
You need to paint the stump within 3 hours of cutting the tree or you will not kill it.
@Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher yes, but I'm curious if there are any weather conditions or seasons of the year where you would recommend waiting until another day to cut the tree?
No, when you get ready to cut it, do it.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher thank you

I'm selling my breeders this year if things go as planned. It is most certainly not worth the efforts to carry a cow all winter anymore.
How big is the farm you're farming on and how many cattles?
He works on a bunch of farms - it all depends on the cattle, land, and weather patterns.
What brand of loppers do you use?
Good looking boys out there!

You keep all of your bulls together with the herd. Seems like there would be inbreeding problems?
