What I appreciate about you Mr. Judy is that you only do the things that pay you back and THAT is what has lead you to this incredible - and incredibly popular system!
My 10 year old asks every few days to watch Greg Judy videos. We homeschool and I love that it's a biology lesson every time. We got 3 sheep in the spring that were bread and now have 6 ewes. Samuel(the 10 year old) takes care of them mostly by himself and it's been a great project for him. Thanks for all you do to educate us Greg. I hope we can come visit one day.
That is awesome, hope to meet you folks one of these days. It a great thing that your doing having your kids involved with taking care of livestock. That experience will make them well rounded grownups that are productive citizens!!
When a person watches your videos they would never know climate change is wreaking havoc with ranchers in the west. We are located in Kentucky and the grass is beyond plentiful, the cattle are fat, and life is good. So much to be thankful for. Keep up the great work. That field is going to look fantastic in time.
5mm rain each in feb, march, april. 25 in mai and june and 30 end july start of august. Unusual strong wind for months in spring followed by hot summer .. no pretty hear in sw France.
It’s funny how “climate change” gets blamed for everything. If it is too dry, “climate change”. If it is too wet, “climate change”. Too cold / hot? “Climate change”. Things staying the same? “Climate change”. Acne? Constipation? “Climate change”, of course!
Been binge watching your videos ever since you said you're in central Missouri as well! I'm a truck driver but gonna start a sheep ranch in a couple years. Thank you for all this information!
Yes, my Dad would say the same thing about the blister. It's a long way from your heart. Parents today take their kids to the doctor for a skinned knee. I died when I was a kid and my Dad told me to walk it off!
Would be great to hear from the landowners about the good stewardship of their land with the GJ method. There are hundreds of acres of grazing fields near where we live. Most owners are shy to allow anyone even hunters on their land because people have not been schooled in respectful land use. Landowners tell stories of USE AND ABUSE. Before and after conversations and photos with this method could be helpful inroads proving restoration and regeneration. Thanks. ❤️🌱
Correct me if I’m wrong. A cow cannot absorb all the minerals taken up when foraging. So when they poop it goes back onto the earth. I love what you do to the land Greg.
Wendy, you are correct. Cows with their daily grazing are constantly improving the soil with timely mineral placements complements of the manure. This is a real asset as long as the mob is constantly moved.
Another great video Greg 😊👍 I’m not a farmer yet and have been learning about this stuff and understand that you are not going to run out of minerals on your farm in your life time and for generations to come. The key things which you know about and are a leader in teaching are the regenerative farming principles, limited to no soil disturbance, soil always covered, biodiverse root systems always in the ground and diverse animal impact which all help drive the soil food web ecology on your farms which in turn supplies all the minerals your plants, animals and consumers require. Loved hearing about the Fair. Makes me want to join you. I miss going to the country fairs. Hope you have/had a great time!
Thanks for all your videos. I love going to fairs too. Seeing the animals and talking to other farmers. I look at the animals at the fair and think how can you make a profit on some of those animals. I know a few of my kids want to show animals just for fun which I did when I was young. I told them you won’t make any money from showing because our animals are raised to be efficient not show stock even though I think they are darn pretty. I do notice their is lots less animals at the fairs these days compared to my younger years. When I was younger and went to the all the local county fairs, there was so many more animals. The animals at the county fair are built differently even when I showed. I showed pigs they raised to be efficient. Now they look like long squared block with legs. If they had to survive outside, they would have a hard time getting around because they look like they are doubled muscled body builders not for a longevity made athletic animal that will survive for years. It sort of make you sad that animals don’t get to exercise and explore the world instead being stuck in a feedlot. We are getting another goat real soon. The goat that we have is being a real goat with our other animals so it will have a buddy to play with. Goats have a different personality compared to cattle and sheep. I think our plan is to get her very soon. Already picked her out. She is still bottle fed and will be getting a little grain so she will kept separated until she is ready to be only grass fed base kind of animal. We are putting her next to our other animals through the fence so they can get used to each other. When she is done with bottle and grain, she will be put with our other goat and get hot wire broke too. All our animals have to be broke to a single wire poly braid or it’s a no go at the farm. Have a great one!
The more people learn about soil health principles, the relationship between soil and grazing animals, and changing how they spend their money (vs paying input people, chemical companies, and banks for farmers and for consumers, which farmer or rancher they support with each dollar) the faster public sympathies/interests will change. Once the public changes its focus, governments and schools will follow. Allan Savory explains how goverment and education institutions can't ever be the initiator, but once the people have made up their mind, the policy and protections will follow.
Thanks for clarifying. I got worried when I heard the Ottoman Olives were taking over. Thought it was 1354AD again in MO. I am going to work on my Greg Judy imitation in case I ever post a video. I am getting pretty good at "Don't Do That People!" and "Just Look at That Pattie!"
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher The pleasure is mine Greg. You have much wisdom to impart to the younger generation and you are fulfilling your calling. We as humans need to rethink what we are eating and the quality of the product we are consuming. It's no wonder half of the country is sick and full of disease.
Good morning. I'm a new subscriber from Mountain Grove area. We bought 80 acres north of Macomb, and it's grown up with junk trees where there should be pasture. We're just getting our feet into this place, tryingto figureouthowtomakeitcome together. A friend in Ohio told me about your TH-cam videos. I've heard you're from Missouri? Would enjoy visiting your farm someday. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Greg, how deep is the hay that you lay down on top of the soil, and if you're going to seed, do you seed under the hay or on top of the hay? I'm trying to regrow a horse pasture using a grass/clover mix for cool season (end of October in Central Oklahoma.
Have you ever tried a trail run with beans and turnips peas mixed with your grass seeds and fo a before and after on a soil sample like 6 months or a year apart it seems when you have fresh bare ground it would be a good experiment
Beautiful farm, Dave and Sue. Sure is pretty around this part of Missouri. Incredibly similar to the rolling Estate pastures of Herefordshire I spent many a year riding through. Didn’t have to worry about horses stepping on Honey Locust thorns, though. Wonder if 19th century saddlebags carried a special tool to extract thorns. 🤔
We are making progress on our 40 acres, we had a dozer over the weekend to dig 1 large pond and 1 smaller pond cut 3 roads and clear the border for fence. We need rain,
Greg here in ohio theres not an ash tree left standing thats not falling apart. In kentucky, louisville slugger has a big patch of planted ash in nets to keep them from being killed so they can keep making bats. Maybe take the good ones as a precaution!
We have lots of ash trees still looking good. I'm sure the ash borer is coming for them. Maybe there will be some of the trees that will survive and develop resistance to ash borer???
Greg, you may have discussed it in other videos. You may not be able to or feel comfortable discussing it. But who foots the bill for 'land improvements' on lease farms? Does it depend on the length of the lease? The improvements raise the value of the land to grazing animals probably more than real estate value which makes it more valuable to you. On the other side of the coin if you loose the lease AND paid the bill for the land improvements you probably aren't getting that money back. Sticky subject I understand, just didn't know if you had any tips on how to approach it with landowners.
It depends on the individual lease. If I get an economical lease, I will pay for all improvements that I want done. If I have a lease that is pricey, I have no margin left to improve the lease.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Now that you have established yourself and can show people the improvements you can make do you use it as leverage at all in price negotiations?
The most economical leases give you the most freedom to make improvements. So I always try and negotiate an economical lease that allows me to do that.
Duetch electrical connectors. I get it. If it ain't broke don't fix it. File away for future reference. Military specification rated electrical connector.
Are you seeding only with Kentucky 31 and do you ever have toxicity/bloat issues from it on your sheep? I'm going to be seeding an old cedar field that I'm just finishing up clearing here in southern Indiana and I keep finding articles about Kentucky 31 being problematic.
Kentucky 31 can have its issues with being toxic at certain times of the year. Don't graze it short and keep legumes and other grasses mixed in with it. This is achieved with good grazing management. There is no other grass that will make you as much money in winter feeding as grazing stockpiled fescue. It stays green all winter in the lower parts of the plant and is extremely good forage that withstands freezing and turning completely brown. If you have animals that do not perform on it, sell them and keep the ones that do. Build your flock from that. No bloat issues from it at all.
Hi there, "Europe" is sort of a broad concept, I am Dutch and live in France and this breed does not exist in these countries. Most European countries have their own cattle breeds.
If you treat large honey locust with tordon. It will kill the tree and it will shed the thorns as they rot off. Then you can cut the log into firewood with no holes in you or your tires. It takes about 3 years to lose all the thorns
@@jeffcordia that is a large one. I had about 4 trunks coming up from the base., over about 4 feet. Each trunk 20 to 34 inches. You skim the bark down to the cambeon layer, with a hatchet. Then spray on just enough. To color the blaze blue. You may want to hit it in 3 to4 spots around on a big tree. Honey locust spread by the rhyzome root system. If you have 1 tree, you have many smaller 1's starting
We normally get rid of the tree when it is green. Once they die, the thorns shed like porcupine needles and you will be fighting them for years in your flat tires. If the tree is green, the thorns will stay on the tree until you reach the fire or draw where you want to put it. Must paint the stump immediately within 3 hours , bark area only. We use a mixture of 1 quart Crossbow with 5 gallons of red diesel, be liberal painting it on the bark surface edge of stump.
I never thought about anyone not understanding the name Autumn Olive...people can be so odd, lol. Everyone around here uses a general term "Russian Olive", apparently they are two different but closely related plants, I'm not sure which one we actually have here but probably the Autumn Olive. Supposedly one has juicy fruit and the other a more mealy texture but both are edible. They certainly do spread like wildfire, birds and those seeds are a bad combo.

@@StoneBasses Agreed. The USDA and the EPA should be pushing hard for every cattle and dairy farm to switch to managed grazing.
