That’s the sweetest music!!!! I can’t say that enough.Because you put nothing but positive energy in the universe !!!! As always God’s blessings to all at Judy Farm
Greg, I would by a shirt from you that says “I love 900 lb cows!” with a Green Pastures logo on it somewhere. Also thank you for talking about the mechanics of longevity. Gave me a lot to think about this AM.
I’m binge watching all of your videos. Thanks for making them. And a thousand thank you’d for the business advice you provide!! It’s highly prized and valued!
Love watching this ole Missouri boy!!! Only second year raising cattle but hoping to eventually switch over to your grazing program soon. Thanks for all your videos
I'm done thinking about it starting to make moves to get myself into the business saving money buying books and gonna send in the app for your internship. I'm not getting any younger so might as well do it.
Your cattle 🐄 look so healthy and happy. It must be the commercial farms where the disproportionate amount of mistreatment of cows occurs? Your videos have helped me see a different side to the cattle industry.
STAMPEEEEDDD!!!!! Lol, they were looking good at the time of this video at least Greg, I'm missing that green foliage already! Those great big cattle also are less likely to live as long and healthy a life as the smaller framed cattle, too much stress on bones, joints and caloric intake from season to season to maintain that big frame and body.
That Murray Gray cross cow is really a well made, beautiful cow. Her calf is a stunner too. It seems you can breed dang near anything to a South Pol bull and get improved results in terms of size and gut capacity, I've never been crazy about horns particularly those that are sharp pointed horn with the pointy end forward. They can inflict damage to her fellow cattle just by swinging their head in amongst other cows and calves. Apparently, you don't have that problem as horns don't seem to concern you. From your video on the gravel roads, the cows don't seem to have foot problems. Their hooves look well shaped I would guess that your cattle drives over those gravel surfaces help in keeping the hoof sound and trimmed up.
Love, love, love to hear and see the consideration you show to/for your animals. Still keeps me wondering how people raising 1400 -1600# cows think they can make money!
Greg could you tell us how many acres of grass you run, and how many head of live stock you have total? I'm trying to put together a plan, of how many acres I need, for the amount of head I want to run. I know it depends a lot on quality of pasture, rain fall, and many things, but I live in a similar area as you and this would give me a rough idea what to shoot for long term.
Should let that camera run, watching them was peaceful. Just let that video continue on til they all in there. Maybe play happy trails. By Roy Rogers. N Rawhide, n tumbling tumble weeds, n such.
What would you say the average profit is per cow? I'm trying to calculate how big of a farm to buy to support X amount of cows to meet our families needs and knowing a ball park amount for your system would be a great help!
Greg, we have a decent quality pasture with 10-14” of grass that we won’t be able to graze off before the snow comes...is it better to leave it or is it better to mow it off before winter? Our snow is often forecasted in feet rather than inches so leaving it tall to stick up through the snow doesn’t work here I was just wondering which way is better for the soil and for the next years stand.
Greg, I know it's kind of out of season, but do you have much for deer flies or horse flies? Lots of trouble here in northern Wisconsin when we get out away from the buildings. I'm wondering what I can do to help the animals out.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher We noticed that with our dogs, too. You can have a female who never misses a heat, throws big litters, and is productive years beyond the norm. Then, the holdback puppies turn out to be duds.
Hey Greg...how do you keep from in breeding when you are keeping a lot of the bulls in your herd? And does it even present a problem? Thanks for your time.
Wow 10 minutes that was a great time I love those leader Cow 👍👍 they are the best!!! what number was the first cow cross the fence gate?👍👍 Gismar from Roraima Brasil 🇧🇷.USA Bellevue, Washington
Bulls are taken out March 1st, put in with mob July 1st. This allows us to have one mob of animals through 8 months. Simplifies grazing and wintering with one mob to deal with.
Do your heifers cycle early? Do you have many young heifers calving because they run with bulls that long? Around here, if you leave Bulls with 4-8 month old heifers, you'll have most of your heifers calving at 13 -17 months.
We’re in a bad drought in SW Missouri. Some have been feeding hay for a month already. National Weather Service predicts drought will persist for some time. Folks are gonna have to keep feeding hay or sell.
I had 65 cows in spring, sold 14 in July, going to sell another 8 or so next week, may sell calves at 45 days weaned. Whatever grass we had in June is what we have to graze. I hope to make it until February 1st, then it's feeding hay like I used to. Last year I fed 20days, I had high hopes for the year, but the drought has changed that.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher it’s getting desperate down here. Can’t buy a drop of rain. 50 days rest doesn’t mean a thing without precipitation. I do like your methods, but Mother Nature has thrown us a serious curveball.
I’m only 11 minutes in at the moment so maybe you speak on it, but my burning question so far is do any of your neighbors get upset about your use of the road here 😂

another pleaseant video...with rivers of common sense,.. like to keep productive cows!,.. Mr. Greg, you are an smart man...
missouri is such a pretty state. thank you for sharing.
I really appreciate the content, sir. We have 10-15 longhorns at a time on 60 acres, but definitely use this info to improve our little herd.

Glad you are seeing how well cattle can live on green grass!
Greg's catcalls at the cows are the best part about this channel
014 still looks great! Make sure you contact us when he is ready. Great looking animals Greg.
014 I was watching him about 5 minutes before you said anything. He's beauty.
720 does sound like a Lion. These are beautiful animals and it's always nice hearing you talk about them.
I love the sound of the cattle walking mooing you have the best office view so to speak Greg cool deal 😎
You have the best looking cows!
Do you recall if Grandma was a spring, summer, fall or winter born calf? Thank you in advance.

Greg,
Thanks for finding the time to help others!!
you mentioned that your cattle is on the medium size, what breed are your cows?
Do you recommend giving Black Leg shots any time of the year or should they given at a specific time of the year? Thank you.
Anything under 24 months old, veterinarians recommend a yearly Blackleg shot.
the cattle look amazing
Greg you’re a legend.
Those are happy and healthy looking cows!
Love, love, love to hear and see the consideration you show to/for your animals. Still keeps me wondering how people raising 1400 -1600# cows think they can make money!
1:32 that cow was thinking of running For it..
Also The one behind her...
They have been looking for a way to sneek out..
What are your thoughts on grazing in northern maine? Due to the freezing temp and accumulation of snow
Hey Greg I heard that beef cattle is most flavorful at 5 years old have you ever harvested and tried your own at about that age? Thanks
One of the tastiest deep beef flavor animals we ever ate was a 12 year old cow.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancherThat is awesome. I am excited to try something like that.

I think it’s around 1600 total but only 7-900 pasture the rest is woods

What breed of cattle is that? How many per acre is a good rule of thumb?
14:30 So many gems in this video, so little time..
Greetings from Serbia 👋🇷🇸
Thank you Greg, another super film
Please remind me; how long, roughly, does it take you to finish a beast for the abattoir?
24 to 30 months
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thank you.
What would you say the average profit is per cow? I'm trying to calculate how big of a farm to buy to support X amount of cows to meet our families needs and knowing a ball park amount for your system would be a great help!
There are many factors that determine the profitability of your cow herd. Type of cattle, grazing management, soil type, rainfall, marketing, etc
The kids and I remember Suzey, good to see she's doing well for a bottle calf.
Greg, we have a decent quality pasture with 10-14” of grass that we won’t be able to graze off before the snow comes...is it better to leave it or is it better to mow it off before winter? Our snow is often forecasted in feet rather than inches so leaving it tall to stick up through the snow doesn’t work here I was just wondering which way is better for the soil and for the next years stand.
I would graze it anytime that the weather allowed it to be grazed. Every day that you can graze is money saved or earned!!
Greg, I know it's kind of out of season, but do you have much for deer flies or horse flies? Lots of trouble here in northern Wisconsin when we get out away from the buildings. I'm wondering what I can do to help the animals out.

Have Grandma’s offspring heifers been as productive and consistent as Grandma? Thank you, Greg.
No they have not, grandma is a freak of nature!!!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher We noticed that with our dogs, too. You can have a female who never misses a heat, throws big litters, and is productive years beyond the norm. Then, the holdback puppies turn out to be duds.
Good work :)
so you sell cows? or the products the cows produces like milk and stuff
We sell beef cattle, not milk cows
Hey Greg...how do you keep from in breeding when you are keeping a lot of the bulls in your herd? And does it even present a problem? Thanks for your time.
With a large herd, it is not a problem at all.
what breed of cows are these? Same as central america?
South Poll breed
The wise ones walk on the soft verge. Once they know a routine they just go calmly. Never helps to get help from a rodeo fan.
What breed cattle are you running - they look like South Devons?
The breed is South Poll
2:53 has 012 got ringworm?
Nope.
Is the wire hot or are they broke to it enough that it doesn’t need to be?
They are broke very well. They never touch the polybraid, it might be hot!!!
Holy Jesus that is a nice herd
Love those cattle drives.......😎
12:18 Which number, again please?
Wow 10 minutes that was a great time I love those leader Cow 👍👍 they are the best!!! what number was the first cow cross the fence gate?👍👍
Gismar from Roraima Brasil 🇧🇷.USA Bellevue, Washington
awesome cattle moving long way to farm # the more heifer produces calves throughout her reproductive age the more it is profitable #
My 18 year old cow just gave birth and all her daughters are as good, Will let her finish her days in the farm out of respect.
Are you calving all year 'round? Keeping the bulls and cows together all year? Enjoyed seeing all the cattle. Thanks.

how do you spell "begeebers " exactly? love that word. lol
I think you spelled it right😃
Look at those ladies ! And guy !
cows 2 x 900lb better than 1x 1800lb better grazing more $
Greg always sounds like he’s talking to me, hmm 🤔 !

You must remain flexible. In droughts, cull heavily. Preserve your forage for your best core animals.

nice cows

No neighbors are home when we do our cattle drives. Everyone is in town working.
why cant u take milk fr other mom for suezy
Every cow has her own calf, they do not like sharing their milk with a strange calf.
Can hardly believe what I hear ya saying.. that it is even remotely possible for somebody, anybody, to be ABLE to feel uncomfortable with what ya do!
This is so cool, where we live rn ppl would try to run you over, which is why we're gettin outta dodge ☺️
don,t you get lame cows with these little rocks on that road?
Absolutely not, the walking is good for their hoof health.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher good..:D
GREG, GOD sure knew what HE was doing when HE made them cows! in MY eyes that was a great looking bunch of calves!!
