These two young men are learning so much , what a tremendous internship to be able to pick the minds of Greg and Jan who I realize is filled with an abundance of farming information as well ... It’s like playing back up quarterback to Tom Brady .. That guy if he asks questions and keeps his eyes and ears open is gonna benefit so greatly from spending all their time around a guy or gal ( Jan ) who is at the top of his profession

38 degrees in Massachusetts today. You won't forget this winter for a long time.

I am 69 years old and my grandfather always put a south and north windbreaker around our cattle tank plus some roof. Then when UT was starting to freeze we thru fresh manure around about half of the sides. When you get manure at the right stage it will produce heat. And if cattle gave access to water all the time they will not rush the tank. Have to do what ever it takes. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Your chores have to be done no matter what weather or temperature. Stay safe and as warm as you all can be in this weather. A good plan is always flexible to whatever comes up.

We used a rubber mallet to drive the step in posts this morning. Just 2 more days of such cold weather.

It’s starting to warm up here now. It is sunny and 16 here. We had -30 below windchill along with more snow. Our animals did really well in the cold. The sheep properly liked this weather the most compared to the rest of our animals along with our long haired dog.

Great video, Greg. You are a survivor. Take care!!

My lives stock just withstood 14 days of -50 C or -58 f up here in Saskatchewan

Stay warm!

Stay safe out there

My cows go up to the water tanks when it' so cold.....they take a sip and you can tell....it's COLD STUFF lol....enjoyed the video Greg!

Your title had me worried for a moment but I then thought about it and realized it had to be a rhetorical question of course with the years of herding experience that you have had, if your herd could not take the cold I would be astonished. Minus 25 is over minus 31 degrees celsius both numbers are just too cold for comfort with or without the chill factor! I am glad that you were able to film without bare hands!. Glad to see you three out and about , oh, I wish a good night to the four of you

LOVE the cold-weather vids, can't wait for more in a few months 👍 ❄️

Grass and hay keeping the sour kraut vats (cows) fired up and it takes a good fire in this frigid cold. Prayers for warmer days ahead. Be safe

It's cold here in WV like 20° minus wind chill but nothing like -25°. Won't want to be there. God Bless and Peace Be With You All

3 inches thick? That’s ice skating thick. Yeehaw!

You are correct about being on the conservitive side of feed.

Oregon State I has an endophyte study for grazing cattle.

25 below? That is seriously cold. I can’t imagine how cold that must be.

Our herd is out grazing through about 10” of snow and nibbling on hay bales for roughage. It was -4 this morning, record low for east Texas or close to it.

Mr. Judy, Thank you for your channel, your willingness to help others and your example. I am interested in trying to replicate your methods in North Texas and want to know if you have any mentors or contacts in this area. I don't see a lot of Fescue in this area and it may not be needed given our more moderate temperatures (current winter storm being a 100 year exception). I am contemplating a career change into Ranching, raising beef cattle and like most of what you do but am just starting my research and reading. Any help (other than your books that are already on my list) that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Regards

That's what I'm doing twice a day for my critters, I save my broken plastic shavings forks and use them to scoop those ice chunks. and use a aquariam strainer for that slushy stuff...

I let the rabbits out to play in their 625 sq ft yard and my buck took a nap in the snow.

I Love to Watch the Animals - As they bust into New Pasture. If you could !!

I was wondering what you thought about all this.

Minus 25 😲 OMG. My freezer is minus 19 centigrade!!!!

Ok I see the inflow is why.

The ice around the tub can you take a rubber mallet to the side of it ,will the ice 🧊 come off.????

most cows will eat snow 60% of the time versus 40% to water (when both are out for them). Your cows are eating lots of snow by themselves...but water is nice too.

I will take a big tire tank any day over a frost free tank for a water tank in this kind of weather. I do need to clear the ice off twice a day but much less likely to have frozen valves.

25 below what part of MO my sister didn't tell me it was that cold out there.

This week seems every where is cold but California?

Brrr! That’s just too cold 🥶!

I have to ask you where you got the idea of those tanks Greg. It's so simple but so effective and to not have to have it running constantly to keep it from freezing. That's just genius!

We had -9 and 10 inches of snow in SE Missouri and expecting up to 3 more inches tomorrow but and 5 degrees. If you had 10" of snow would you need to water?

I put canola oil in bar oiler and used my chainsaw to open up our pond, easier on my old joints.

Did this tank have the flow system I've seen on some of your other tanks. (Where the water flows into a drain pipe to keep a slow flow of water)

Do you ever have to hoof trim the cattle? Thanks, stay warm.

Just stick a sous vide in there for about an hour

Do you still keep your LGDs out in the field? Do you have some sort of windbreak or housing for dog in the field? Curious :D

I really enjoy your videos, but how can ice that floats on water weigh the float down?

Greg, I was reading a publication by Extension Utah State University that cows can eat snow to hydrate so long as the snow is clean. What's your opinion? I figure buffalo probably survive on snow too.

Keep moving so you don't get stuck.

What tool do you use to break the ice when it's many inches thick like that? A sledge hammer?

Is it possible to sell the frost free tank that is too small to water your herd , So the farm can recoup at least some of the money that you spent on it.

Negative 25 actual temp or wind chill ?

Shiough! it LOOKS cold! If I were a cow there wouldn't be any other place to be though I tell you what

how are the sheep doing????

Do you not compete with row crop farmers for land rental? We are at about $70 an acre up here in Ohio.

Ice floats and will not sink your float; also you might invest in a pitch fork for throwing ice.

I want to see Ben fit in the back of your Tacoma 🤣😂🤣😂

Nevermind the water...did your livestock survive 25 below?

Would you care to speak to the ky 31 why some people don't want to use it ? I just raise myotonic goats and hair sheep but there is an endophite issue im not smart enough to understand at the present time

😁👌👍🖖✌ 😎

Hey Greg, have you seen the latest comments from bill gates with his war on beef?
