- Why did we turn 47 bulls into our cow herd? We do not like to have two separate herds on our farm. Bull mob is removed from cowherd March 1st and returned July 1st. This keeps us from calving from December through March. One large herd of livestock being rotated around your farm has many advantages which I cover in this video. For more grazing info check out my new book on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net/books/

Love how you are walking, talking and filming among the cattleand they are watching you with out fear or shyness.
New inventory!!!! Keeping the Judy Farm running, keeping the breed alive.God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸
God bless America and God bless Greg Judy and his beautiful farms he's tending to! Amen!!
Greg, thank you for this early evening pasture walk. There is no better way to spend time than inspecting the herd❣️❣️❣️
beautiful Herd,they live in paradise. greeting from switzerland.
The flies around the eyes is where the pick eye is most likely coming from because the fly goes from the manure deposits and then to the eye. 👍🏻
Heavenly goodness ! These are BEAUTIFUL animals.
Awesome! Thank you Greg for sharing.
Love listening you talk about your cattle!
I love watching when the babies run, they run so fast.
Greg I have been watching your channel for over a year and I know exactly what you are going to talk about when you start on a topic. And I never get sick of hearing what you say, especially when paired with the visuals😀
Amazing looking cattle a real testament to your breeding Greg.
We’re always thrilled to see 020!
The videos of these GORGEOUS cows and bulls just make my day, Greg!!!
(Makes me wish we weren't dry property out in the middle of the high desert!!!)
I'm probably fooling myself, and I know my 40 won't look exactly like Greg's, but I have every intention to try to make my high desert prop as lush as I can using Greg's techniques. 300 years ago, there was a lot more grass in our areas. I assume you're in a Western State...
I think all grass is win win for the cattle, the farmer and the consumer. Plus they enjoy fresh air and sunlight which is healthy. And they improve your pasture. Though I particularly like sheep manure for my vegetable garden.
Is it possible to get a video or maybe a time lapse of you and your crew setting up a paddock for the cattle? I’d love to see that!
Beautiful heard.
Man I wish we had grass like that out in western kansas
Greg Judy, your bulls is amazing outdoor fram...
We use squirt bottle set to stream loaded with spectramycn and shoot in eye directly. Handy when you graze tight far from a chute to shoot LA300. Helpful hint.
Beautiful cattle mate! Well done!
Great job!
I take it you don’t buy into the whole “stud” cattle program? You only sell commercial quality herd bulls? I’m beginning to feel that is probably the right approach as far as a money making proposition.
Hey Greg. I'm not a rancher but the way you chose to breed is the smartest I've seen. Nature is the best way. Your cattle looks great. Do you have red Angus in your line? It looks like red Angus to me? Love the video and commentary!
Ian Mitchell-Innes is a wise man. Hey Greg do you know what breed Ian uses on his farm?
Hey Greg if it's the clover, can't you give them a bale? Like early spring to give them roughage?
Good management comments
I just looked up heat cycles for cows. I didn’t know that there were FDA-approved hormonal drugs that farmers can give their cows to regulate their heat cycles. Glad to see some farmers not complicating a natural process.
It's always best to let the process happen naturally.
Nice to have shiny cattle.
I cannot "comb my hair in the reflection"
I have no hair...anymore😆
Certainly have done well with the marketing, kudos for that...
I was always told that cows got pink eye when they pasture was too tall and the tall grass would rub their eyes when they went to eat grass down closer to ground...
But that may have been a wives tale!!!
My uncle told me tho and he was a big cattle guy with 250 momma cows...
But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t his tale!.😂
Thank you Greg for sharing these beautiful cows you have raised!
Shalom!..
That is a very pretty site.
Those bulls have really nice lines. That is high quality beef.
hi there from New Zealand, great herd of nursing cows , I see the cattle are getting pretty full stomachs , do they ever get what we call bloat ,,gassy stomach that kill them sometimes , you have a fair bit of roughage in your pasture, that will avoid it. but when grass is a lot shorter and fresh and has young clover in it ,that can cause it
Never raised a cow/bull. I'm in Va. I'd sure like to know if the bull you sent to Va. is near enough for me to visit to learn more. I'm in Crewe Va.
What breed are your cattle? I agree they are a nice herd and I also agree about the smaller size. The gentleness of your cattle it's great as well. Congratulations on all of the above. Where are you located?
Those are some beautiful cattle
Thanks!!
Good looking animals.
they look happy and with this human....good
How much land do you use for your 300 some head? In other words how much land is in each move?
This is why I'm thinking of moving to Missouri.
Great Job!! 👑👑♥♥
I always heard that some of this forest fires we get a lot of smoke in our area and that's when I start seeing pink eye herd.
I’m in Texas. What is the best way to get some of those south poll cattle? I’m willing to haul.
Thanks for sharing the pink eye information, as a GJGP student I know you have been letting it "take it's course" as you explained recently (on a drive I think). Will this now change your "standard procedures" for pink eye management in future seasons? Thanks again.
I'm pretty sure he acknowledged that fact when he said he wished he's been more proactive when he first seen the problem.Gregs most important lesson to us is to tell us he's still learning and every year is different from the last.If you don't figure it out you will go broke or suffer loses. Those who fail to adapt to the changes will go to the dust bin of history.Keeping current on the latest research is the key to everything.Confirming that the data is accurate is most important. Ivermectin was patented for worming but has been found to kill and stop every type of virus and found to be more effective for malaria than any treatment up to this time.(The Nobel Prize was awarded to three researchers this year. William Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura received the prize for their discovery of ivermectin, which has had a profound impact on reducing deaths from neglected tropical infections.Oct 27, 2015) It's effective for covid type disease but was suppressed by big pharma. My son and girlfriend came down with covid 19 and were fully recovered in less than 5 days by using the horse wormer paste. When my son called me to tell me he was quarantined for 14 days with covid I told him to go to Tractor Supply to get the horse wormer.He called me 2 days later to tell me he was feeling fine and he thought the paste didn't taste anything like apple,lol. He took it for the recommended 3 days and fully recovered as did his girlfriend.She was feeling so much better she didn't think she needed to keep taking it after the first dose but by that evening was feeling bad again so took it to make a full recovery. You have a good day.
@@paulcallicoat7597 Paul I have as much reason to believer you as anything Pharma or the Gov says. I'll get some Ivermectin. FLASHBACK 30 years and there was a doctor in the city who was known as "Three-shot..." (name left out). The reason he was called this is because no matter the condition his solution was 3 shots of Combiotic, which as you may know, is a vet medicine that this fellow kept using after it was pulled from the market for humans. I even had a round of 3-shots--and on that visit I heard him Rx "Combiotic" to his nurse for each of the patients being treated. He walked out of the room I was in and said "Combiotic in ONE!", then a little later I heard "Combiotic in TWO". Then "Combiotic in THREE"... and so forth.
Hey Greg, You ever tried applying Colloidal Silver to the eyes of cattle with pink-eye? I was told a drop a day for 2-3 days does wonders. I haven't tried it yet but though maybe if it was in a spray bottle one could just walk around and spray as needed. Cattle look great!
I've used silver gel for a sore throat and it knocks it out.
Can they all be put together now? I have been told that they should not be put together because it is too soon for heifers to inadvertently be bred too early in their growing stage. Please advise.
Ha Ha! Great pickup line, “What’s your number?”
What is the difference between line breeding and inbreeding when you use bulls up to three years old possibly with sisters and mothers
How can you identify these features you talk about at 16:35~ in a young bull calf?
Greg - What percentage of your cows calve? Thank you.
Happy Cows 🐮!!!
Greg, I know you've probably answered this question before but if you turn 47 bulls back in with related cows and heifers, how do you know a brother won't breed his sister? I know the odds may be little long but isn't it still possible?
Been using this practice for 18 years, no issues yet. Linebreeding is what has happened in nature forever. The deer species are perfect examples of linebreeding. Only the best get to breed and pass on their genes. Let nature work it out. Nature knows best.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher yes you cull every year. Keeping the ones that do the best. Anything that inbreeds enough to weaken is gone before next breeding season.
Sometimes simple systems work so well, they take care of problems without having to think of them.
Nice to see you pet your bulls.
Do you use any type of fly control?
Regarding clover lowering pH- don't the free-choice minerals normalize pH?
Great herd
i always suspected spear grass caused most of the eye infections and developed into pink eye, not so much in pasture, but in hay bales, bcause they push their heads agressivelly into the bales and get poked in the eyes...(i've seen animals in absolute agony with fragments of spear grass in the eye, and watched the progress from watery eyes to white eye)...i noticed that soon after introducing the mainly hay diet late in summer the eye infections took of...the idea of black eye circles being good still holds, and white faces having no resistence to fly bites etc is all relevant but spear grass is the killer.
Thanks Greg , I’m glad you got the better of the pink eye it’s a nasty condition. Is hoof trimming something that you need to do or how do you deal with it / is it necessary??
Greg doesn’t hoof trim and will sell a lame animal, some farms trim on a schedule. Depends on animal genetics too I’d guess Greg’s have been selected for good feet for years and they’re not on corn and beans which makes feet grow fast
Grass-fed and pastured animals do not grow hoof as quickly as grain-fed confined animals.
Nice looking cows. What is the breed? I just found your channel
Greg, just curious to see how big acre wise are the cells you run the 300 off head through? :)
In the winter we gave them around 2 acres morning and night on the first rotation. On the second rotation this winter we gave them 5 acres morning and night.
great looking animals.
maybe some A.I work on some of those great looking heifers?
You guys idea on Pasture management is debatable
Yes folks have been saying that for 20 years and I’ve been proving them wrong for 20 years.
How do you determine if a bull is being frisky and playful or dangerous and needs a new home or to become a steer? I was recently chased by a bull we thought was safe, but now question if he needs a new home. He and another bull are currently separated from our heifer herd, which likely makes them more agitated. We hate to give up on this bull but just learned of a local beef cattle farmer who was killed by his bull in the pasture a couple weeks ago.
Sell him immediately before he hurts someone!!!!!
What makes the oily hides. I'm learning so much watching your channel. New cattle owner
The 25% influence from the Senepol breed.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher incredible. Do you ever sell cows? I learned you sell bulls in one of your videos.
Greg, a question. You have a considerable herd of cattle and in this video you talk about turning numerous bulls in to tup your cows. I was just wondering what kind of precaution you have in place to avoid inbreeding? With that much random tupping there must be some genetics that get too close for long term breeding stock health.
We are simply replicating what has been happening in wild herds for thousands of years. Nobody is ensuring that the dominant whitetail buck does not breed his daughters. We have been using this method for 18 years no problems. Each generation just gets better and more adapted to their environment
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks for the explanation. It makes statistical sense, especially as you seem to have an active culling and breeding stock selection practice.
What kind of cattle did you say these are? North Pole?
how do these south poles do in desert climates?
Really nice cattle though, they look beautiful :)
what do you do with your old bulls
When you keep all those bulls in with the heifers, how do you stop inbreeding after several years? How many head of cattle do you have? Thanks.
I think it's numbers. Each bull has a shot at 3-4 cows, and out of 167 it's low probability that they get their own mum. First time it happens they'll probably be a weaker calf and it gets culled.
It’s called line breeding
4:44 how much did your macho bull sell for?
Hi Greg, I'm new to keeping cattle. I have seven Dexters. I hope you or you viewers can answer my question. Should I be concerned with hoof care? Or will the cows wear down their hooves? We had horses when I was young, on the same ground I now have the cows on. We never shoed the horses bat had to trim their hooves frequently.
If you have to trim a hoof on a cow, sell her.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Good to know, thank you.
It is a interesting system you have there, but may I ask could you arbitrarily say what percentage of your cows have a successful calf.
95 % of them
Good to know what to aspire to.
What state is this
Hi Greg! The cow at 14:04 has a green spiked ring in the nose. Can you explain what that is?
Look in comments below, I explained it.
It's a weaner
One cow has a green nose ring. What is it for?
I have a 10 month old steer and a 9 month old bull, both black Angus. A 9 month old Jersey heifer and a 10 month old Holstein heifer. The boys are separate from the girls for now. What is the best time to put them together? Thanks. Love your videos.
Our bulls are turned in with the females July 1st and taken out March 1st. This prevents winter calving. Our heifers breed at 15- 20 months old normally.
Decide when you want calves based on your weather. First calves are best born to mom about 24 monthes old, so a 14 or 15 month old heifers. You can put steer with girls anytime- that will be based on your feeding system and need
Questions: If you believe in extreme culling and you also believe in letting nature do her thing with the bulls could you just cull all the ones you would normally turn into steers? Is there a reason you take the time to make them into steers and keep them? Why not just cull them as bulls ?
If you sell them as feeders for a grass grazing operation, you get a tremendous dock on price when you sell them as bulls.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thank you!
Whats with the weaning ring in that ones nose? I didnt think you weaned calves, just wondering?
She was a milk thief
what type of cattle are those? they are bueats
How many acres is this land
Cattle look great. Running that many bulls at one time, do you have any issue with bulls fighting and injuring one another?
No not at all. If they try to fight, other bulls move in and breed the cow.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher
You have a real point about docile animals. My aunt uncle and cousins raised cattle and I don't think they gave much thought to their cattle being docile. When you were out in the field with the cattle you wanted to be near a vehicle or in a vehicle or on a horse that knew what was going on. You just never knew what cattle might decide to do from time to time.
And how much do cows sell for?
Do you separate your younger heifer's when you let the bulls in or does make a difference.
Heifers Less than a year old
No we do not separate the young heifers
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher on average, what age would you say your heifers are bred with this method of keeping them in with the bulls?
Rewatching this..... if the experts are right that there ph is low from clover..... wouldn't throwing some good clean hardwood ashes in the water help with the ph issues
I saw a green nose ring on a heifer. What is that for?
To stop an animal from sucking on a cow’s udder after it’s been weaned
Called weaners (terrible name I know lol)
If I have a small farm around 20 acres and run 10 head of cattle, can I leave the bull year round with the herd? Or do I need to separate him?
If you don’t want to calve in the winter, take your bull out.
Greg do you know what part of the world would have the lowest impact from atrazine and glyphosate
Mountains or foothills where they have never been applied uphill of you.
Hi greg, how many bulls are with those 400 cows, and how many months do they stay with the cows
47 bulls. Bulls were turned in with the cow mob July 1st, taken out February 28th.
Would be interesting to know what mother nature's solution would be to prevent the overgrowth of clover, so that you don't need to treat them.
Chickens decimate it
@@releventhurt interesting!! Please elaborate? I need to understand the theory....👏
@@drevil2783 I got a little back yard with creeping Charlie and clover and the clover was about a foot tall and now it's maybe 1in they eat it
@@releventhurt well there you go!! If it works small scale it must work on the big scale as well. Now where do i buy giant chickens????😆😆😆😆
I'm from south africa so i reckon ostriches is the closest to my giant chicken solution. Luckily there are plenty here. Phewww😰😆
@@drevil2783 jurassic park I heard has a few
How do you keep from inbreeding
I'm seeing that good sheen on em
Nothing more true than letting nature select the best genes. In the wild Cape buffalo does the same when everyone meets up.
Is that a green ring in the one cows nose?
yes, it has spikes, so when she tries to steal milk, the cow finds it uncomfy and will not her drink. ( she stole milk from other cows than her mom, and is old enoug to not need milk anymore).
I hope to have a docile herd some are a little skittish.
At around minute 14, a cow had a green plastic looking ring in her nose. What was that?
Milk thief, steals milk from cows.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher That's a first for me. Thank you. Be blessed.
I had "Pink Eye" my wife said put sugar water in my eye. I was very skeptical to say the least, but it worked right away. Recently, my neighbor told me he had been fighting that problem for a while (with Doctors help) I told him about the sugar water, he tried it, the problem went away and I didn't even charge him for my doctoring. (-:
how much sugar to water? I t would be handy to know, if one has to deal with issues , and no vet available:)
@@Goldenhawk583 Not sure. There must be something online.
@@glennnile7918 thank you:)
Thx for the info!
Hey Greg as far as the pink eye on those white face cattle. That was a total white face like a Hereford because of the pink around the eye. Every one of yours has brown around that eye. I think I only saw one in your heard they had total white eye. Make a comment on those white face ones are they herefords or is that just some of the side effects of South Pole. Why did some of them have horns seems to me that you got other breeds in there then others than South Pole period correct
yeah i heard about rancher keep away from white cows because pinkeyes... they are pretty but there is a "flaw" with that gen they say.
