- Greg shows how to catch and ear tag a new calf (don't try this with mean cows) Go to our website: greenpasturesfarm.net to learn more about our September grazing schools that we will be holding at our farm.
Hearing a wrestler describe how to grab a calf just makes PERFECT sense. What an eye opener.
I always love watching whatever you put out on video, Greg. Both for the educational value and just the fact that you love what is going on - the calves running, the cows lowing, the earthworms, birds, lambs. It is such a joy to see someone with such a respect for what this earth can give us if we treat things the right way.
Oh, and how gentle your cattle are, no stress tagging and that momma was concerned but not 'out to get ya' while handling her calf. You are an example of good stewardship. Thank you.
I love how the cattle just run to the new paddock. Doesn’t look like Greg pushes them at all. No driver dogs required.
Agree. Well said.
Agree. Well said.
that was the fastest i ever saw anyone tag a calf, you guys made it look easy,, GREG, you have some beautiful calves and momma cows, thank you for another class,, be strong, be safe, be free, and be blessed
It's great to see how to get things done peacefully and without a lot of costly equipment
Greg you are "the man"....The best cattleman in America !!!!
Dang you're lucky to have those guys there Greg. They really do look like some fine young men. Another great video, thanks!
The mother's reaction was pretty amazing to watch too.
Does the mother not get angry and attack the farmer ever?
Great job guys - it would be nice to see the mob laying down all together sometime. Ruminating...:) Thanks Greg - you farm right! 😃🇨🇦
I believe I've seen them cows coming down that hill before! Looks like it recovered well!
Hey I enjoyed it! Very pretty land. I'm 3/4 through your first book, and it is just a healthy book for the soul. Thanks from Texas.
Watching cows run like that is always amazing. And the tagging went supper smooth. Big tag for a small calf but he’ll grow into it.
As someone who tests the tags I always appreciate a good sample ❤️ I always want it to be a one and done
Thanks for showing this, I always thought you must have to move them all the way back to a shute system to do this, but this explains it.
@2:35 Look at the genetics on the Momma and the Baby! The facial spotting... the white patches are almost identical! That's amazing!
I'm just so impressed with your land.
Beautiful cattle!!! Great job, no stress on animals! Lovely video!
I struggled when I tried to rope calves on ground on foot. I’d throw a head loop SOOO big they run right through it. “Just grab ‘em” is the best advice.
To many babies is so great to see them so healthy
Thanks for showing us this process. Very helpful!
Thank you and the boys for another great video. I so enjoyed the learning process of tagging a calf. Seeing those cows and calves come running down that hill gives true meaning to the phase cattle drive. 🤠🤠🤠 I guess I'm missing something because most of the Moma cows calling to their calves sound the same. Must be something special in her voice???
Your videos make my day everyday !!! Never seen such happy cows
I’m an old man ranching by myself & the way I catch calves is by grabbing their back leg just above the hoof. I then band the bulls. I then put the calf between my legs & use my legs as a head lock & lock the calf between its head & front shoulders. My steers get ear tags in the right ear & heifers get tags in their left. Makes sorting day easy
Greatest team ever! Thank you for taking the time and sharing this!
I love the passion y'all have!!!
Totally correct on that whole calves at the back running if u have a bunch without mommas. We just had that problem for two days they kept going back to the field they where born in.
Very educational, thanks Greg
Leave it Squatchy at 12:: 00 Great scenery great spot. ..they arent bad neighbors lots of great stories of helping man. ...
Always enjoy watching these vids.
Great video, thanks for showing that!!
Greg I'm in the process of building a corral / sorting pen for my katahdins in my pasture. would like to see how you sort your sheep sometime. thanks for another great video!!
Very Happy Cows and Calves. They learn real fast about the fence also. I saw several put on brakes when came close to fence. They are adorable when running. 056 was a nice calf. Mom stuck real close while tagging. God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️ 🙏❣️
So sleek and fat, those cattle!!! Just a joy to see and they look delicious! Didn't see a single one that didn't look fat as a tick.
What a cute/healthy looking calf! Until you said it, I thought you were using the gimbal. That was very steady for hand held.
Just love these brownies running around happy. Farming at its best.....
Great advice Greg
Amazing! Thanks for showing how you catch them and what yo think about. Great advice.
I was wondering how to tag the whole lot in a cattle yards and the chaos I imagined seemed too formidable for anything more than a small mob. I was thinking it could be feasible with several mobs but then you miss out on the grazing benefits
As always a great channel
Thank you for the video
I use a shepherds cane and hook the calf around the neck and pull him to me as he turns to run. You can get within 6' but sometimes hard to place your hands on him.
2:31 There is a cow limping in the lower left corner. Also i love your really appreciate you taking the time to record these youtube videos and show me how to be more conscious on how mother nature works.
Look at those cattle move! Those babies are so lively! Hard to believe they were just born! Look what happens when we let nature simply do what it knows to do on its own!
Ben and Isaac are awesome
That bull looked like it was channeling its "inner auroch" standing in the woods like that.
Good job
@Greg Judy There is a bull? at 0:56, with a white mottled face, that doesn't appear to have an ear tag. Is this correct? Or do you have other ways of identifying individual cattle? (That deep lush emerald grass is fantastic.)
Locust (thorn trees) are a constant issue for me in VA along with olives and cedars, cutting Locust with a saw is the best way. I pulled several with my tractor and a tree puller attachment and it tore the field all up. The roots are shallow and spread far. I could never tag a calf like that, the mothers would tear me up. My herd is 2200 spread in half between spring and fall herds. I wait to tag when I band. The few times when I do tag in field, I carry a PVC hay ring behind a UTV and tag the calf inside so the cow can’t attack me.
Sounds like the boys know their stuff.
Profoundly beautiful.
What a blessing those boys are to us.
You too!
Thanks, also, Pam/t?!
Anyone else notice the limping cow at 2:33 ? Hope she's alright ❤️🇨🇦
Yup just noticed that red horned cow
She is fine, stepped on a thorn.
COWS MORE HAPPIER THAN EVER HAVING LUSTERS OF GREEN PASTURES..
Thank you for sharing this. I have cows getting ready to calve. I'm brand new to cattle this year. My grandfather was big into cattle but my dad doesn't enjoy it so at 38 I'm finally following my dreams. I'm trying to learn everything I can when it comes to tagging and banding. Iodine is on my list to buy. I might need help to tag it looks like. 😬 do you band thy bull calves?
Cows sound like us humans if we copy their communications.
You should be teaching farming at an Agricultural College. You are very good.
Greg do you have water running to that paddock with the creek there ? I know you shouldn’t allow your cows full access to ponds but does the same appply to creeks ?
Ya-go Isaac lol 😝🐮
Does the mother never become aggressive in response to grabbing the calf?
Nice land fat caws Good ranch stile 2021
Are all your cows that docile or are some so protective that they will charge you while tagging their calf?
They are all that way. If he had one that got pissy, Greg would cull her out.
I saw on video where the larger calf was licking Greg's pants then hand like a dog might. Now that was a gentle calf.
Did you use a machine to pile the brush or did you do it by hand?
Grapples that fit on a tractor front end loader.
Bawl fest lol yep but I love hearing it!
There is a cow limping really badly...what do you about such cows
99% of the time, they quit limping in 5-7 days. If they don't we sell them.
On average how long do you leave the pasture to recover prior to returning the cattle??
It varies from 25 days to as much as 180 days in severe droughts.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher thanks for your reply, I appreciate it and just love what you do and the videos, you have influenced me so very much.
Wouldn't tags with the number printed on both sides be better.?
It would work. We prefer our own numbering system.
I see you got some black cows in there? Angus? How often do you move pastures?
Yes they are 50% South Poll, 50% black angus.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher awesome. I like hereford but watching these videos these south poll are growing on me.
Do the babies find their Mum after moving them?
Yes
Keep mixing up your videos for variety. Good topic.
Look out, stampede!
2:28 you've got a lame cow coming down the hill. How do you treat them when they are lame?
Maybe two ouchy mamas
Foot bath
So Ben is the green camo hat and Isaac is the pink hat?
Yes
Ben is the pink hat!
Do you burn your field? It’s so green!
No, Greg hardly ever burns off his pastures. It's just a result of good managed grazing/rotation and healthy soil.
He's got really good land for what he's doing.
@@AJ-ox8xyAlmost any land is good for what he's doing. The soils on Greg's farms are mostly pretty poor, or were when he started. Most were overused and played out and they weren't that great to start with. He's raised the soil quality naturally through his grazing management.

We never burn our cool season pastures. Trample that carbon to grow more grass. Burning it does not put money in your pocket.
9:40 What is a first-calf-heifer?
Seems a contradiction in terms.
It's a young cow with her first calf.
Great drive!
Almost expecting 2 cowboys on a horse coming over the hill 😁.
P.S.
Sent an email regarding your herd/land training?
Never got a response? after 3.5 weeks still waiting now...
Never got your email
Got one hurting at 2:31 time
At the end of the mob coming down the hill there was a horned Cow that was limping pretty bad
if you wait too long to tag it will be more difficult to catch the calf - even at birth those calves can run real fast AND far...
I would just add, don’t get between the cow and the calf. In the UK we have to tag within a week and send a passport to the govt. It gives me hope that those young lads will carry on and apply your standards to the livestock industry. Nobody seems to care how their food is reared as long as it’s cheap
You have to realize that for easily 95% of the world, if not more, cost is the singular consideration. "Cheap" is what has enabled the third world to prosper far better than even 25 years ago.
Someday the world may become wealthy enough that everyone can eat grass fed beef at $30/ lb and not have to sacrifice to do so. But while we are far closer than we were a generation ago, we are still quite a ways from that.
For the rank momma’s need one of these!

Been enjoying the bale unroller down here, cows took to it real quick!
чем больше человек целомудрен, тем это лучше.
Так учили все мудрецы мира и Христос.
Если же человек не может выдержать полного целомудрия, то пусть он, войдя в полный возраст, возьмёт муж жену, а жена мужа с тем, чтобы жить так до смерти, не разъединяясь и стараясь и в браке быть как можно более целомудренными.
Them tags are sooo ugly on a beautiful calf.
Those yellow tags sure make it easier to identify which calf is missing when you do twice daily cattle moves.
Do you put iodine on the navel?
no. The cow is constantly licking the naval area to keep it clean.
