Good morning Jan and Greg from Ohio 🌄. Everytime you buy a farm my ❤ gets sentimental and joyful that you have the means to expand regenerative ranching. Such a joy!!
Greg, one of these days you need to get a drone. This video would have been a perfect time to use one to show us a bird's eye view of the strips and access to water. I also bet the boys would have a lot of fun using it! On a separate note, that new farm looks absolutely magnificent. It was well taken care of before the developer got his hands on it and didn't suffer much harm before you got it for which I am grateful.
I can attest to Greg's docile cattle I have been with him in his herd they don't react to people. We bought a cow from his herd who just had a calf on the 12th she has no problem with us even touching her calf. She is a great mother too!
We used to use the Corgi for cattle, the idea being that they were so small that when the cattle kicked out they nearly always missed, and that dense fur coat acted as a shock absorber. They were our late Queen's favourite dogs, they were famous for biting the Guards and any flunky they took a dislike to, they do have that rep as a pretty aggressive small dog.
I was looking forward to seeing the cows running to their new pasture ❤lol. I'll be looking into the grazing school in the near future. Tyfs and God bless 🙌
Thanks for the video! My former neighbor had multiple different dogs to bring in the dairy cattle from the pasture. We had a few bulls that weren’t docile so having the dogs was great for protection. We got half inch of rain last night. I bet the pasture is going to take off some more now. I hope you all got some rain too. I was looking at your footwear and I thought you were wearing tennis shoes 😂 because you usually been wearing boots so you all must be dry there.
I wonder if Greg has ever put in cross fence before😂, quick step, can’t google experience! Thanks for the video you two. A dangerous cow is not worth anything! Growing up we had a cow you could not load, jumped every fence we ever had, or ran through it. From my childhood and being anxious every time we had to move cows, I will never own that kind of cow. I actually have the skull of the last holdover from the herd hanging on a fence to help me remember to never tolerate that kind of animal. She had to be shot right in the trailer because the butcher wouldn’t let us unload her.
When strip grazing like that where it's only option due to where water's located how do you get them to not graze previous strips? I've strip grazed away from water with daily moves and it always ticks me off if i drive by later and see cattle on previous days strips grazing. Is it more of a train the cattle kind of thing to that? Or is it an 'is what it is' kind of deal where you're just wanting the cattle to graze *mostly* the new strip for the day and can't control to where they won't nip at previous days strips
We back fence each day by just extending the water lane back to the previous days paddock. This prevents backgrazing. If the wind ever stops blowing over at the new farm, I will do a complete video on our process. It works like a charm.
He just puts yesterday's fence back in, mostly. You don't have to take the step in posts down , you just take down the wire, let 'em go through, and put it back up

Stay tuned that video is coming!
Wish you would do grazing schools in the summer. Always calving this time of year.
We may have one the first week of September.

Glad you got some rain. No rain here, super dry and it’s tennis shoe weather!
Good morning Greg and Jan, any chance you are going to Arizona this summer to getup an update?
100% on the tame animals! It's not fun trying to deal with animals that just want to run from you.
You got that right, I don’t tolerate flighty animals

Looking forward to the video on back fencing back to the water supply.

This kind of content is so important.
Greg is spry as a cat jumping down that creek bank. You don’t maintain that health by sitting on the couch or feeding livestock from the tractor!
Buying this new farm has really increased my physical daily workout. Good stuff for your body.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Raising good clean & healthy food like you do Greg helps with your health as well.
Was gonna say the same still has that pep in his step
