- Greg discusses fall stockpiling techniques for your farm. By not overgrazing your pastures in early spring, your summer plants have a much stronger root system. This allows the plants to have a jump start for fall growth. Go to our website: greenpasturesfarm.net and check out my books for more grazing tips for your farm.

If I were a landowner seeking to lease my land I would seek out a rancher like Greg Judy. Those farms are beautiful.
That's a monarch caterpillar. Wow!
Thanks for building such wonderful habitat Greg, and for preaching LAND conservation and not just cattle production. If we do it right it works well for every organism including the cows and that monarch caterpillar. :)
somehow the video quality is poor today. others are saying the same thing and your other videos are fine, so I'm pretty sure it's not my computer. You're dishing out serious GOLD as you go about your walk. I'm focusing on the audio. deeply appreciative you took us with you today.
Greg I am going to nominate you for an Emmy award: "Best original picture produced, filmed, and acted all by the same person - while working." Good job!
I learn something from every one of your postings.
You have Beautiful Fields and great land management skills. God Bless and Peace Be With You All
Congrats to the new calf. Curious to see how the Poll and black Angus would cross. What traits it'll adopt or discard from both, color variations, docility, ect.
Hello From South Africa, beautiful cattle and fields inspirational to see this. Thank you for sharing this. I have a few hectares and planning to get some dairy cows in the near future, will refer to your videos for information
Hello again Mr.Judy.
In a video posted by the African Farmer you mentioned the Atago refractometer. Please if possible would give the exact model number and short discussion on how to use it.
That said. If there is one point you drive home in almost every video. Buy livestock! No amount of equipment replaces livestock. Equipment value absolutely diminishes from the minute it is purchased. Were as livestock is the inverse if managed properly. The reason I ask is the products available from Atago vary widely in their cost. Thank you and it's understood that you may very well not cover this.
Another cool vid, always a pleasure seeing the Judy ranch and stock.
This channel is growing fast now. Who remembers 10k subscribers?
I think there was a few hundred when I subed lol
Robert Regan that’s the same time I subbed! Greg had about 8k subs, I saw Justin Rhodes video and I was hooked. This man is just sharing free knowledge on land management priceless.
I see myself making a couple of those Greg Judy handles coming up here
I so wish my hunting property was 4 States nearer to Greg. 🤔 MONARCH Caterpillar 🐛🦋yes
Great information as always. Thank you.
yup grass is different.. they gotta walk for it, when they eat grain the get to stand in one place for lots of carbs even if you spread it out the carb/movement ratio is way different.
Make your Paddock smaller in those areas c o w s can do a a lot better then that. Where are you trying to get rid of certain plants period that has been my experience.
Looked like a white egg casing a few inches lower left of caterpillar.
you need to get a better camera so we can better appreciate the detail of what you are seeing. Those are some happy animals
Really enjoy watching your vlogs. Been a regular viewer for about a year now but, Your camera is not focusing properly, very difficult to watch one. Thanks for your content, very interesting keep up the good work. I watch from Australia, I used to run Dorpers.
Yes the camera was out of focus, first time that has happened to mem
You didn't have to leave me in there for a day and a half half a day would have done a lot better
Mine will only eat the leaves off the blue bonnet. They won’t touch the wild carrot
Hey Greg, I'm pretty sure you don't have goats in your mix 4 good reasons but they do favor some species such as sericea lespedeza apparently better than sheep. Maybe moving as fast as you do even the goats would not have time to take it down. Just curious
I have 5 acres of agriculture zoned land in central Florida. Any suggestions?
What aboud ducks and geese?
Give Greg a Like 👍🐮thank moo
Hello Mr.Judy @7:35 what you have according to Missouri Botanical Gardens is Asclepias syriaca that is your native milkweed.
Interesting fact. The Milkweed that is widely available at local nurseries is creating issues with Monarch Butterflies. It is causing deformities. How do I know this? Have a backyard full of bird and butterfly attractors. Started to notice that some Monarchs were hatched deformed. The yard is full of native plants. The Milkweed utilized is not. Much to my surprise. After a little research. Working on acquiring native milkweed. Do not want to harvest from the wild.
So interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Incorrect.
Asclepias hirtella Tall green milkweed.

7:28 👍
You should load up your farm with a variety of dung beetles that'll help clear off the poop and put it into the ground.
It is strange why the cows are mowing .
The sounde is doubeled to the video
Feel free to stay out there all day . . . we are with you . . . :o) Thank you for the blessing of your videos. :o)
What do seeds have in abundance compared to green leaves? Fat and protein.
You don't like sericea lespedeza because the stem is too woody?
Sericia lespedeza will take over your farm. Once it gets thick, it is almost impossible to get rid of.

Mr. Judy you probably answered this question before but how many total acres are you working those 300 head on?
In a video on The African Homestead channel, I think it was mentioned that he has (or had at that time) 10 quarters, so about 1600 acres, though I may be wrong about that! Of course much of that would be woodland and not pasture. Just based on the videos I've seen I would guess that about 1/3 or more is wooded. If my numbers are correct that would give a stocking rate of about 1 Animal Unit (AU) per 2.5 acres of pasture, assuming about 400 AU. That's my guess on the total livestock based on a cow/calf herd of about 300 cows, plus 60 bulls, plus maybe 100 sheep. I think the Missouri average is about 1 AU per 2 acres, but those animals won't be fed on grass year-round as Greg's are -- most would probably be extensively supplemented or fed with hay throughout the winter, whereas Greg relies almost entirely on forage. Anyway, those are my very rough guesses. I'd certainly like more accurate information if anyone has it!
I believe that plant with the bumblebee was tall green milkweed.
Did you use a different camera?
Something definitely happened to the video!
Hi Greg I'm from South Africa
I was wondering if do you send cull cows and steers to the abattoir(slaughterhouse) to get processed? Or do you also send old cows and bulls ?
Yes
just beautiful, you are an inspiration sir.
What is the name of the plant ID app you mentioned?
yep, monarch butterfly larvae
have you thought about using a mountain bike
I'm not sure a mountain bike would go though the field. I think it would bog down.
Our 800 pound cafeteria style mineral feeder would be kind of tough to pull into the next paddock with a mountain bike.
Good grazier ,terrible videographer .hadt quit watching
Sorry about that
Greg Judy. Maybe try not to point camera down while walking and moving about?
I appreciate all your vids. You really gotta come out with more books
How To's.....
Thanks for the tip, will try not pointing at the ground when walking. I appreciate all your tips.

I really do look forward to your videos every morning. Beautiful life you're living and teaching others.
I enjoy sipping coffee and seeing your land beautification business. Truly refreshing to see. Learning with expectations to do what you're doing.
Hi Greg, Paul from Kansas 😀. Would you recommend me putting out mineral blocks? My first year with cattle. Also first time mob grazing.
Thanks u Sir 🙂
Use loose cattle mineral in place of a block if possible. You will get much better consumption and they don't spend as much time licking on a hard block.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher ok thank you Sir 😀
Greg do you have a video that addresses mob grazing cattle on new pasture ground that has never been mob grazed during winter months? I don’t have allot of money for bales. I’m organic farming and I’ll be planting rye grass for a cover crop n sept, then roll crimping n April/May and planting soybeans Lord willing🤞. So I will lightly graze the cover crop. But I’m afraid that won’t buy me much time. Also the pasture grass is old CRP grass all native flint hill grasses. Do you have any advice on how to do this cost effectively or and videos that show how to do this? 1 bull 9 cows 4 calf’s all mini Herefords on 43 tillable acers and about 33 native grass acers.
Thanks you for all you do. 😀
Greg-
Is Johnson grass any good for grazing? I’ve got some of it sprinkled throughout my pasture. I look at it as diversity amongst the red, alsike, yellow hop clovers, orchard grass and some sedge varieties. I’m in NH, thank you.
Johnson Grass is good for grazing. Cattle will eat it first before any other plants. It grows back faster than any grass I have ever seen. It can be toxic in prolonged droughty periods.
Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher thanks for getting back to me. I hope to meet you some day, thank you for all your knowledge and insight. Oh and yes I’m jealous of your beautiful beeves. I have 7 and they look almost as nice as yours. mine are also strictly rotationally grazed and hay fed in the winter no grain here!
I wonder if there are invasive weed that neither cows or sheep graze, and what to do about it.
get them trampled on the ground to feed your soil microbes
Have you successfully tried broadcasting seed to crowd out some of those invasive? Im thinking about doing some rye in the weedier spots of our farm.
Never had tried it.
Try perrenial ryegrass if its suits You. Broadcast very early in spring, and graze it tight to reduce competition from existing plants. Rye should be drilled and might (perhaps) workout if growth of other plants is stunted for whatever reason.
Would goats eat that stuff?
Good video as always but I got very bad picture quality. Tried phone and computer. Watched 4k videos before and after without problem.
So it's not just me then
me too. I'm just focusing on the audio!
Sorry folks, not sure what happened with the video. Never had that problem before.
Mr. Judy have you ever had to add protein to your cow's diets in winter? Saw something about that on another channel when the cow patties get a bit ridgy, wondering if you have any advice?
With good winter stockpile and the right cow size, no supplemental protein is required.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher thanks for the answer! God bless and keep up the great work!
Great video Greg. What is the container at the lower RH of screen @ 11:15?
Frost-free water tank that we no longer use. It can not keep up with large herds of animals.
Needs 1080p
Awesome Greg
I don’t have a farm, I might never have a farm, but I love watching your vids while I make art. They’re fascinating and relaxing at once. And now when I drive around the dairy and cattle farm valleys in my state, I find myself saying “They oughta move those cattle!” Sometimes I have a strong urge to pull into the driveway and say “Don’t you watch Greg Judy on TH-cam? You have to do mob grazing! “
Same! I see so many cows on overgrazed pastures here in kentucky, gotta move them!!
Those farmers probably get mad at you. They don't really know any better. They think just feed hay.
What do you do for weed control?
Trample or eat it, possibly clip it off if the animals do not get it on the ground.
when someone answers one of your questions you say thank you
