Check out the 50 day regrowth comparison after clipping versus no clipping of pastures. There was a drastic difference in clipping versus not clipping pastures when we came back 50 days later. Both pastures had excellent regrowth, but the clipped pasture was all new growth without any weeds. It looked like a salad bar ready to eat. The unclipped pasture had more bulk material which included mature plants that would be trampled rather than eaten. For more grazing info check out my new book on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net/books/

Greg these boys are very fortunate to have a male role model and senior cattlemen to teach and show them the way. Both in life and in cattle etc. They seem to have gotten a good start from their folks, but you're adding a nice touch to that and they will be able to be that to other young men someday in the future. With the average age of today's farmer being 60 years old, this is all the more important. God Bless you, always enjoy your videos. Glad to see you have gotten more rain than us here in N Arkansas.

Your videos have provided so much inspiration, encouragement and knowledge! After a lot of years dreaming, our family finally bought a home on 40 acres in middle Georgia that's over 90% wooded. We're super excited to start converting it to silvopasture bit by bit and to get animals out there.... after fence and water points. =) With a lot of hard work we're hoping our little piece of land will look as beautiful as the ones in your videos. I've watched over a dozen of your videos on fencing and chargers but I haven't seen one on how/where to setup the charger and connect it to the fence. It would be a big help if you'd do a demonstration video on that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion!

Clipping every other year helps keep the young thorn trees and other woody type plants from taking over your pastures. We only clipped about 10% of our farms this year, the rest is non clipped. It is getting a bit late to be clipping now, winter stockpile growth has started here in mid Missouri,

@gregjudyregenerativerancher 2 жыл бұрын

Clipping allows you to control invasive trees and thorny bushes while also keeping your plants in a vegetative state that allows you to have better animal performance. We only clipped about 15% of our farm this year, the woody plants were coming in particular thick in these areas.

I'm not sure what the context was with regard to Greg's comment about the clovers however, Red clover can be a vasodilator for cattle grazing on toxic fescue where as white clovers don't seem to offer that benefit.
