That ought to be a tee shirt

Your welcome Tam!!

Great job Diane!!!

It always costs more to go cheap.

Yes they are awesome!!

Good luck! I think every animal on Greg’s farms are spoken for, for the next few years! That’s quality!😂

Bigfoot Bubba, thanks to you I am learning to have them turn around and face me. Thanks for your tips!!

Thanks Regina! You and Dave are the best. Good grazing to you both on your new farm. Enjoy the journey, your in the best occupation in the world.

Yes God made a stunning place for us to live

That was good timing! Good luck with your new cows Brent. Make sure you don't limit them. Watch their gut fill on the left side

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thank you, yes sir I remember that lesson for sure. I'll try to make you proud. They had an 8 hour ride so their gut definitely wasn't filled when they poured off that trailer, lol. Can also definitely tell they aren't Judy cows, they're a little on the "spirited side". I think they'll settle in okay though.

To build trust with your spirited cows, sit with them on a five gallon bucket. If they move off, slowly follow them and sit down again. A little of this visiting lets them know that you are a good person that is not going to hurt them. It may take you several days to get close without them walking off. Never make them run, you got to close.

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Apparently they felt like 300' was "too close" yesterday when they first got there around 4pm. I watched them for a bit from afar to make sure they weren't going to ram through the fences then left for a while. Came back and brought some sweet feed in a bucket and the ranger UTV (they're used to a weekly treat to keep them able to be called and worked). They came within about 20 feet and ate from the bucket I had sat down and backed away from. They seem like they want to be friendly, just a shock of "new" overload and being young and full of it. I have video of the breeder walking around in them without causing any alert at all. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to raise cattle as sweet and calm as yours though, lol. They're not handled as much and aren't visited as much by strangers and most people don't breed specifically for calmness to the point you do....that's why yours are so sought after in large part....one of many reasons. I knew this going into this deal and hoping by practicing what I have and continue to learn from you that I can train/manicure my herd to be similar to yours. We will see. Thanks Greg.

Mr Sigma is correct. 6 foot galvanized rods placed 10 feet apart. Place them on the north side of a building or along a wet area to ensure a good ground.

To further clarify, the number of ground rods can depend on what charger you use. Charger manufactured will usually recommend the number of ground rods per charger. For example, the charger we use recommends no less than 6 ground rods.

Thanks fellas, happy Friday!

Yes, it would be great to hear Ben and Isaac's stories. It's youngsters like them that will make the changes to agriculture we need.

Maybe we should start a free choice mineral retail for our part of the world eh neighbor?!

Yes, and that tree fodder can even be gathered up and stored to make "tree hay"! Coppicing and pollarding are ancient practices that were used for centuries in Europe and probably many other places that kept livestock. Both are little practiced today, but this is something that should be rediscovered and incorporated into modern regenerative farming. Most ruminants will eagerly feed on the leaves and small stems of many species of trees and bushes, and these food resources often contain different (and essential) minerals not commonly found in grasses and forbs, because these large plants have access to very deep subsoil layers. Both coppicing and pollarding can provide a regular source of food for ruminant animals that is commonly overlooked, simply because people are unfamiliar with the idea. With modern electric and gas-powered tools, neither practice is difficult to implement. Just as with pasture grasses, coppicing and pollarding keep the plants indefinitely in an "adolescent" state, constantly producing an abundance of tender new growth rather than developing into slow-growing mature trees that are only usable for timber. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMWFe81-ntyYiIk.html

No

POWERFLEX FENCE, 6 steel, 3 copper strands.

I buggered that up didn't I????

I'm not use to 6'-7" guys!!

To keep the rain and wind out. Has to be heavy enough to not get blown up in a strong wind, but not so heavy that a young cow/ steer cannot lift it up with its head.

Your right!

Just tie up the rubber top for 24 hours.

Never irrigated in my life. To expensive.

Absolutely, Timeless Posts rock. There is no other post that can measure up to them. You show me a post that has a 20 year warranty on it, never needs painting, is pre-drilled, drives easily with a standard T-post driver!!!!!

Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher okay great. What size paddock would you recommend for 2 cows? 1 Normande and one Mid-Mini Jersey in Texas? I want to do this but unsure where to start size-wise with the paddocks.

Sheep are a real tool for hammering young sprouts of autumn olive. They completely strip them of all leaves. That's hard on a tree to get repetitive stripped.

All this time I couldn’t figure out what an ‘Otomolly’ tree was. None of my google searches came up with a match. Now I know.

Don Isenberg this is great! Google should’ve know better though. 😆

Just coppice the largest trees and bushes and don't worry about the sprouts -- they are an added benefit for your livestock once they re-grow in abundance. If some of them don't survive the cutting and browsing, then you get what you wanted to begin with, and didn't have to apply poisons or remove roots to get there!

These guys will be highly wanted after they complete their year internship.

Whoops, sorry about that!!!! Your absolutely right, mental lapse I guess.

Cs and Ps getting mixed up... Make sure you are moving your chicken Coop to spread the chicken Poop.

Please save the sorry for something significant. You da man.

Well said

Pipe it in PE pipe

If I remember correctly from previous videos he uses gates made from electrified polybraid attached to springs to maintain tension (I could be wrong about the springs, though -- I'm sure it's in a previous video if you search his channel). I'm quite certain though that they're not HT wire.

We have both. Poly rope is hard to beat for gates.

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Does the poly rope also have metal strands so it can be electrified?

@@andreafalconiero9089 Yep it does... if you think it doesn't, just touch it and you'll quickly find out!

Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher Greg what tires do you run on your Honda?

Plug in chargers

Yes!

They make recommendations based on what area of the country you live in so have a general idea of where to start. Your cattle will tell you what they need once you get the basics set up.
