Good morning, Tim, brilliant video, Alice is a really switched on lady. Wishing her all the best in her ventures. Cheers
Love this. We have a small farm and apply a lot of these practices.
Outstanding work on your channel, your work really makes a difference 👌
What a clever knowledgeable young woman! This is what we all need 👌
Absolutely awesome to see - and goat meat is valuable to the right market. There's a Nepalese community near me who pay a premium for my goats and can't get enough......and they are the most hard working, decent, loving community I've ever met :D
More of people should get into it, it is proper delicious😊
Nepalese love good mutton, good to know you get a good premium for them too
@@roshansapkota8 : Goats are not mutton.
I've said this for a number of years, one of the reasons fuel loads build up and fires are possibly worse now it that a lot of what is now forestry and national parks had cattle grazed under leases in years gone by that now no longer occurs. It's good to see in this video that perhaps there may be some tide turning back on this.
Small fires go out when live stock is grazed.
Great video mate, with a very clever young lady 👍
Another great video Tim. The most important thing here in Australia is fire control and weed suppression plus the growing of good timber.
A lot more of this is good for soil land and trees air and reduced fire loads
Well done Tim, really great story. Thanks. I’m interested in the multi min use too.
More stories like this please Tim. Great stuff.
This method also is great for keeping soil erosion to a minimum.
Great to meet you Alice.
Love your videos, keep up the good works.
Consider installing Owl nest boxes to reduce rodents that host ticks, attract and feed pit vipers.
Thanks Tim
I had meant to ask before, how are the goats held in the open forestry area? Is she constantly keeping them in a mob via mustering or is there some sort of temporary fencing used in the forestry are that isn't as open?
Mix of permanent fencing with electric braids.
Have you tried zinc sulfate diluted at 10% w/w in water for footbath, to control footrot?😢
The goats, correctly sourced, are not susceptible to it. But I have done videos on footrot in the past.
From one retired farmer Alice... excellent work Alice, I'm in New Zealand Aotearoa and it's great to see and hear your regenerative approach.
I was learning this in the late 1970s and were considered a bit nutty, but slowly the wheels are rolling along about the best, and only way farming should be carried out....awesome work ✔️
G'day mate. There is NOT an "only way farming should be carried out". There are many, many ways to farm and it changes with time and other influences. Cheers
@buildmotosykletist1987 actually if our pasture and cropping land is to survive, it IS the only way humans will ensure that the grassland/ crop land is here for perpetuity
@alicehicks9500 : That is a non-scientific approach. Why are you anti-science ? Soils are improving all over the western world. Our soils have consistently improved since 1947.
...great video... this world is a better place with lady farmers/ranchers like her in it...
Forget the division. She is a good farmer. That's a full stop at the end of that sentence.
A beautiful ranch with a wonderful philosophy!
It's not a ranch this is Australia not America
Awesome. Multispecies is the way to go. Cheers, Tim
Wow!
Very interesting.
I’ve had a lot to do with Aus forestry over time and I’d describe the industry a bit as ‘some nice people, but not all of them … and all pretty clueless anyway’. Whereas this is smart!
I'm glad you know it all.
@ I don’t. But I’ve listened to a lot of forestry people who hold out that they do. Perhaps like you?
@ : So everyone except you are "Clueless". OK.
Great videos Tim once again, keep up the good work.
Here in Utah, We’re grazing Aberdeen Lowline cattle, Hair sheep, and Dairy Goat withers and bucks. On a similar system. Let us know if your and your horse want a job.
Excellent as usual.
😉
Thank you
Great video thanks
I wish my goats were as quiet as these ones!
This is a smart woman that's using tall trees to provide shade, unlike w.a. which is frought with what I call desert farming....
Ironically short over grazing then long rest piriodof multiple seasons encourages the growth of native trees in the forestrys don't like that much but with good management it can be limeted
Growing trees all at the SAME HEIGHT is the fire STARTER.
Why do trees in forests grow to approximately the same height?
I got the lick blocks but what is the other mineral product that was reffered too. You gotta laugh at , "Don't have livestock near the waterways" While the multitude of Kangaroos are feasting there constantly. Clueless
Multi min
So now all of a sudden cattle and livestock are good for the land.. prior to this they were destructive…. Not sure what’s going on.. but I do know for a fact livestock cause erosion.. they trample top soil and over stocked they remove plantation.. what’s changed I have missed something
Calm down. I’ve always advocated for well managed livestock.
Nuance. Properly managed, they build soil, reduce weeds, and increase soil carbon.
Need to enourage some burr medic, black nightshade and wild raddish. Discourage that grass, its no good for trees. Get some dingoes in there to keep rabbits under control
