- Check out Carson’s Aubrac cattle breed in Germany. These cattle have the horns to defend against wolves that come in to kill their calves. Heavy strong built cattle that would be a handful for any wolf that ventures in to close. If you want to keep your farm profitable every year, check out my 3 grazing books that I wrote on our website: greenpasturesfa...
A good-looking, muscular breed! Greg I think those hard-working, detail oriented German people are your kindred spirits.
The different types of livestock dogs are varied. German Shepherd does both and does not just herd but shepherds the sheep. The Guardian dog breeds LGD follow and protect. In Germany a common herding dog is a Native breed, Altdeutche Heutehund. They look like they could be that the beautiful little dogs.
Neither inch and a half or two inches on the pump. 50mm I'll bet. Great to see Germans with the program. It's world-wide, just not widely adopted-yet. Thanks Greg.
It's very rare to video German people, most take their privacy to an extreme compared to other nations.
Those are German Shepherds! The east German working type
They look like Belgian Shepherds to me, the Czech and East German type tend to look very wolfish both types make excellent police dogs.
@@wendyrowland7787 All those breeds are related, they look like long hair German shepherds or Tervuren Shepherd mixed with Groenendael..
Thanks for taking us with you on your travels Greg and Jan! If ever you come up to Quebec Canada we would love to host you and tour you around!
Wow ..my next vacation is gonna be a cow 🐮 visit vacation 🤗
Hello John Kearns, that's a great idea and I would do the same to . I'll keep well away from conventional farms . There's so much to learn from regenerative agriculture and what better way to learn then talking and more importantly listening to the people that are doing it.
Greg and Jan are at the forefront of it all. Their great people.
Interesting grass and cattle. Gentle enough to not be Greg-k-bob on them horns. I don't envy their wolves. This is a good big trip..thanks for sharing the scenery!
Aubrac International - is the American and Canadian Aubrac Association. Majority of NA Au are polled.
what is the video about abrac traditional breeding and milking? (sorry for bad english i'm french)
I love the way they look
Beautiful cattle,they perform very well on grass! Wondering how they perform in the harsh winters,in Europe I don't know anyone who keep them outside on pasture year round!
I've been trying to get Aubrac cattle for composite I'm building, but they are extremely expensive here in the states.
Can’t shoot predictors❗️. That’s down right un-American 😂.
Just as bad I hear in Australia. Only thing to hunt down there are non native invasive species.
it is illegal to shoot wolves in Minnesota
@@georgeheller2281 I reall about 10 years ago, may be less, a wolf season was opened in Wisconsin.
Watch em Greg! Those are not your sweet southpolls.... Great video. Can we get a Jan interview please? Thank you for this service.
Thank you.
We put Bells on our cows neck because their horns didn't work
Very good videos of your visits to Irland and to Germany .Next holiday you are welcome in Morocco . I ll tour you around and visit some farm especialy a sheep farm we have a native sheep speicy we call (SARDI)
Have a great day
This is great. Happy cows 🐮
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Regardless of the breed, those dogs are a German Shepherd's dogs
Yes definitely look like them but not the inbred version of German shepherds that most ppl have as pets
They are Belgian Shepherds.
@@wendyrowland7787 I thought Belgium shepherd dogs were called malinois or tervurn
And because of human involvement in breeding them the German shepherd, Dutch shepherd and malinois they all look very similar now compared to what they looked like 150 year ago. German shepherds used to have a very straight back but now it's horrible and slanted down causing them pain and not good as working dogs, while the Dutch shepherd and malinois have kept their straight backs and don't seem to have as many health issues and are great working dogs.
Also if you passed any of these it's very hard to tell its breed as they are now all very similar
@@HootMaRoot you can blame organisations like the Kennel Club, and shows like Crufts for allowing these cruel extremities to be shown and perpetuated. One thing I do know, my GSD x Border Collie was the best working farm dog I have ever had. She knew what to do without any instruction from me, but she always asked permission.
So many great people and operations you're sharing with us from this trip. Love seeing all of it, thanks very much for sharing.
Pretty faces on these Aubrac cows.
Beautiful looking cattle. Really enjoyed seeing this sir.
I'm so in love with these cows!
Very good video, and a nice spin on regenerative grazing
Nice!
Awesome
Cool automatic gate.
I saw them in the south of France, a majestic breed.
Really cool video. When were you in germany?
What did you think about the cows eating all the seed heads? Is that something you would experiment with? They look super healthy.
Love these vids
Thanks Greg! Looks like you’re have a great visit to Germany. Thanks for sharing.
True about the horns, in Spain the Pyrenees breeds have been subjected to a revival over polled breeds due to the horns as protection.
2,000 - 2,500 lbs for a bull.... those are massive cattle.
I thought Belgian Malinois for the dogs, but these dogs on the farm are mostly black.
Don't be shy Greg let's see that undergrowth
Imagine that, they don’t shoot wolves.
These videos are so interesting! Thanks for introducing us to all these good farmers.
I am German by birth and an American by choice. I had never heard about Germany having the biggest wolf population. Crazy! I feel horrible for the livestock and farmers. Not really surprised that they rather protect a wolf before looking out for their farmers.
Boy, they can’t even carry a gun! I wouldn’t leave my house without one. So called “animal rights” groups are the worst over there.
Love that breed! Good looking!
Those dogs look cross bred, but major breed in them looks australian red kelpie.
That is what German shepherds are meant to look like, the version of them that ppl have as pets have been ruined by inbreeding and have made a mess of the breed by making them have malformed backs and rear legs
Nice looking cattle.
That breed makes good oxen. The horn cools the animal too.
They are definitely strong enough to pull an implement
Trail camera videos would be fascinating to see how the horned cattle defend against a wolf pack without stampeding over the wire. Same with the guardian dogs defending the sheep. They look like Belgian sheep dog crosses maybe some Alsatian although I note another commenter has mentioned the actual breed. Fascinating, Greg and Jan. Thank you.
It’s great seeing all your adventures and bringing us with. Thanks for the video! I bet you are having a great time learning from them and giving a few pointers too. 👍
Thanks!
You can’t read a newspaper under those pretty animals with the milk moustaches . For some reason the name Elsie popped into my mind but the Elsie I knew didn’t have a moustache but she had a head of white curly hair. I had to stop a moment and do some research and found a picture of the original Bordens Elsie from the 1930’s not so much white on her face as the cartoon advertisement version. Gosh Elmer was her “husband “ and he worked to advertise Glue” I didn’t find out what their son Beauregard did. Sadly the original Elsie died in a truck accident while on tour with Elmer. The show continued another Jersey was selected to be Elsie and they toured for many years.
I wonder how the Aubrac’s travelled to their job of fertilizer spreader specialists for the crop farmer. That sounds like a possibility for the herds in other areas it could be a business venture for local herdsmen who can have a cattle drive from crop farm to the next crop farm farther down the road. That makes me think of the goat herds that tour the country cleaning up the brush and their owners getting paid to do the job. Much easier to move a herd of goats from site to site compared to cattle.

I look forward to seeing the next episode. Oh I measured my thumb to use as a reference to measure my knitting much handier to find than my ruler. Have a great day😘💞💕💞👍👍👍👍🍀☘️🍀🖖🖖🖖😘💞💕💞🙋🏼♀️
Thanks for the in-depth dissertation
I think you should get the l s g dogs to prevent the wolves from going after your cows
It is very important for a cow to have horns. A cow will store minerals in their horns. When they give birth and give milk, they use those minerals that are stored. Also, it just looks gorgeous!
Where can I read more about cattle horns storing minerals?
Nice looking cattle, they look nimble...
They look like a jersey Hereford cross ??!
Herefords will give you the white face.
Look a little like a brown swiss in the face
🐊🦅🇺🇲❤️
USA here. Beautiful farm, very similar to Missouri. Question: is it legal to possess firearms in Germany? If so, looks like the farmers would follow the three S rule in regards to the wolves: shoot, shovel, and shut up.
Wonder if the Jersey was bred from this breed centuries ago? Their face or heads are quite similar.
Thanks Mrs Judy for the heart. It would be great if we commenters could get replies from your hubby.
Just saying. Come on Greg you aren’t that busy.
