      Except Greg is still small enough that he can say things that are true. Dave has to " polish" what he says.

    We have been learning as much as we can from you and others healing the land. Years ago we dropped use of chemicals (we had horses and didn't want them eating toxic grass). Little did we know that it was bad for the soil until about 6 years ago. This year we go from rotational grazing to mob stocking...with dairy goats!! It will be fun!! Already the soils are healthier. Goats are browsers, so we encourage meadow like pastures. We "rolled" our oldest pasture last growing season. Now looking forward to the growth this spring! And this is the first winter we have been able to graze all winter!! You have me walking out in the pasture and pulling back the "armor" to see if I can find worm castings, etc. Dung beetles are returning!! SO COOL!!

And for that I am eternally grateful to you for finally deciding to pub videos.

My brother got into a fight with me trying to tell me that cattle won’t eat grass, well only a certain kind of grass and in Michigan I can’t grow that kind. Huh. Try telling someone from Texas that we don’t have good grass here. Funny thing is, his old horse pasture has the greenest grass all the way to the first snow. You can tell where all the manure had been.

It may be reading a good grazing book, attending field day, working weekends for a rancher, driving your neighborhood looking for small idle tracts, etc. At the end of the month, you are closer to achieving your dream.

    Been a long time watcher, great information. I’m at a crossroads with my operation. I have land and have been building perimeter fence like crazy. I still have about 100 ac that needs fence to fence. Material costs are through the roof now and I am not sure of spending those $. I use high tensile net with wood braces and steel t-posts with additional wood posts every 100 ft. Cost of wire and t-posts have more than doubled in the past 3 years. I do use poly wire to manage inside paddocks. Any thoughts or suggestions on cost to fence the rest of my place so I can grow my operation?

    Thanks for your great information. I'm relocating to NC and am interested in ranching cattle (cows) for a living. Could you share a few basic points on what will be required to be able to realistically do this as a full time job in beef cattle only? Number of cattle, acres, sales per year needed, etc. To earn a living must I sell at auction live only? or need to incorporate dressed cattle as I think you diversify and do? (more profitable per cattle?) This is all I want in my heart for so many of the right reasons. Please help me.
