I'm a newbie and I've been reading and watching pretty much every video on rotational grazing in the last few months and can say that this is one of the most complete ones out there, thanks for sharing and congratulations @grazingdays

Excellent presentation. Well paced, well enunciated, good graphics, good writing, and a solid foundation of current eco science. I wish all farmers were learning from guys like you.

Well, that was the best lecture on grazing I ever had!

Thank you for making it easier to understand. It saves me hours of reading time.

Thanks for watching. It was a fun presentation to prepare.

thanks for the presentation! I have heard 'rotational grazing' mentioned many times, but this is the first time someone explained it clearly and completely. thanks again!!

First of: good job on video, its so hard to be concised and efficient with all the information related to pasture and just general farming. Enjoyed your voice and docs, and thank your for putting such content. The introduction is not of Allan's work, its of André Voisin, his work was the kickstarter to many work in many different fields which include's Allen's. If your looking for Intensive Rotational Grazing, look for Harry Weir's work "Techno-Grazing" which also evolved from André's work and many others, it is a lot more farming orientated than Allan's work. André's work laid the bed for a more "work with nature rather fight it", which translated by raising a lot of problems and questions as adressed in his books. Harry Weir solved a lot of them (mainly the fencing and water technologies, stock management aspects like for instance the "space bubble effects" which lowers production: no more than 30 cattle stock in one group is very important for optimal animal performance, the shapes of the paddocks are equally important, squares are best, rectangles are ok, no weird shapes, sharp angles etc.) and raised more questions (sustainability etc.).

Voisin's book on grazing was written in France about rotational grazing circa 1900 and was the go to bible for all who grazed pre 1990

One of the most clear I’ve heard. You should be faculty at A&M.

Wish I had watched this years ago! Thank you so much for a marvelously succinct presentation.

This video the entire first 31 minutes. Very calm, informative, uses lamen terms so it’s easily understandable to any viewer but explains the science well. 31:25 (paraphrased slightly) if you stress the animals out, they’ll literally shit out your money

Hi Paul, thanks for a great video. May I suggest that you plant coppice tree's all along those ditches as extra forage for your cattle. Also they will help clean up those excess nutrients in the runoffs and will provide wood for wood stove 👍👍👍

Thanks for this presentation, Great how to of Savory's brilliant ideas. Cheers

Each pause in ur speech I start day dreaming. Keep going. Keep me interested. Don’t let my mind find its own conversation.

This was an informative presentation, thank you.

Отличная лекция!!!

Awesome lecture, Paul, thank you.

Hi Paul, thanks for this presentation! very informative and clear.

Thanks for presenting a practical application of Allan Savory's methods of managing grasslands.

Thank you. Very very helpful and very straight forward.

This is a wonderful presentation. Thankyou.

This is incredibly informative & helpful education. Thank you!

This is very vital, need to know information! Wow!

Very pertinent information for farmers.It is good for rangeland rehabilitation .

Excellent video, such a clear explanation, Thank you.

Thanks for putting this together

Good bit of information here, I'm currently planning out a small homestead here in northern Florida so this was very useful thank you.

awesome lecture. Thanks, man

Excellent presentation

Great Vídeo!! Thanks for share!! Greetings from Formosa Argentina

That was very well explained. I'm already on this bus . This helps alot

wonderful!

great video, tons of great information. looking forward to trying this myself. just working on pasture layouts and prepping the land for seed. would love any recommendations or tips

Nice job. And good luck looks like you have a lot of understanding of cattle. Regards Frank

Further reading: Anything by Allan Savory. Voison. Jim Gerrish has a couple good books on grazing management. Jerry Brunettis 'Farm as Ecosystem' is, IMHO, a masterwork. Darren Doherty is a consultant who brings together Holistic Planned Management principles with permaculture and keyline design for managing plants and animals on larger properties. Greg Judy uses Holistic Management, and a couple good vidoes on YT feature his experiences. Getting out there and mooooving your own livestock while keeping good records and observing both the plants & animals is the best teacher. **Remember: the cattle, other animals, plants, soil microbes, fungi, and soil macro-life are really all ONE unit.**

Not even a farmer but I've been obsessed with watching videos about holistic management recently lol. How to begin? Seems so scary but I'm obviously interested in it ...

I'm going to try this rotational grazing with my 67 acre Horse ranch here in Texas

It wasn't developed by Savory, Savory got it from Voisin, who changed Savory's thinking from "get the cattle out of here" to "cattle are our saviors".

Updates please, with new G Earth images, soil photos, and different pasture stages? Edit: and changes to your land's carrying capacity?

Absolute fundamentals

Thank you

This viedo is very goog for me and thanks a lot , best regards

Do you have a diagram for how you would have laid out the pasture based on your experience?

Allan Savory credits André Voisin as the founder of rotational grazing. Allan brought in the use of Science.

A graet video touching on most of the important points, before brought to light by Joe Salatin, Alan Savory and last and never least Andre Voisin who wrote the book ”Grass Productivity”. "Big farming" will try all they can to stamp out these natural practices that usually add 400% output to an average cattle farm. Farmers Journal do not write about it more than once as their advertisers go mad: No fertilizers and very little farm machinery required. And it is Carbon negative, i.e. this kind of farming takes carbon from the air and ADDS it to the soil which makes it a better place for microorganisms to live, replicate and store water. See also Joe Salatins polyface farm: How to buy land for $50.- per acre! He did it, over and over again !

Hi! Nice presentation! I would like to know if any studies related to nutrient cycles in your intensive grazing farm was done and articles were published? thanks.

That’s the science of fertilizing the land by your own livestock

Sean Maddox we do have government pushing these ideas. However, they are agencies that are concerned about preservation and conservation not utilization and sustainability. Look at a BLM or USFS agency policy in the Western US and youll notice that they look at allotment areas that are heavily utilized, not where there is underutilized, which is just as devistating. Government agencies have too many policies which are intended to benefit, but are just as destructive as the practices they are trying to inhibit. Not saying all agencies or agendas are bad, but they all need to be reevaluated. Also, not trying to offend just adding my thoughts from personal experience.

Hola vivo en Argentina y conozco bien el proceso del PRV , me encantarìa poder trabajar de eso en Nueva zelanda , para ganar experiencia , conocer y mejorar mi nivel de inglès.

I thought that managing all those lanes would be difficult. Why not making something like a giant loop or circuit for rotating the cows, designed so that they always have access to water? You could even make hedges that produce fruits as fencing!

For more informations you should look the book of andre voisin of 1957 " la productivité de l'herbe"

@grazingdays what is the total number of animals that you have on your farm?

Cool; very cool. Have you considered growing hedges to replace the fences, over time?

CAP-IH-LARRY's, thank you for a good video.

What do you do about winter? Do you buy hay?

Does your bull get ornery when separated from the cow herd if you do that to control calving season? If so, how do you move your fence and remain safe doing so? A local farmer was recently killed by his “safe” bull when rotating his cattle. I’m looking for suggestions as to how we can rotationally graze our two bulls (move the temporary polybraid daily) from March 1 to July 1 (when separated from the cow herd) and not get in harms way? Thank you.

Very Good Präsentation! I have a question though: where does the plant store energy in the roots exactly? As Long as the plant photosynthezises, it can pump liquid sugars to the roots where they are exudated in the soil and exchanged for nutrients that the microorganisms provide. However, when there is no liquid sugar to offer bcs the plant is clipped, where comes the energy from to get nutrients? Thanks a lot in advance

We have horses, goats, pigs, and chickens so in what order should we rotate them and in what order?

👍👍

Brilliant presentation. Can you recommend some books for further reading? Thanks,

After about 4 words, I was like, this guy sounds Canadian... Then I heard "Ontario". We know the sound of our kind eh!

Current Google Maps photo looks nice and green: www.google.com.au/maps/place/Bowesville+Rd,+Ottawa,+ON,+Canada/@45.2618472,-75.619594,1150a,35y,90h/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4ccde213fdb0818b:0x482a18fd70b7e91e!8m2!3d45.2844079!4d-75.6308023

17:00 Would it be fair to say that properly cuts grass is still grow faster than a hoofed grass?

The fetility of th soil dependa on biologicial activity. What do life need the most? WATER! To keep moisture long enough we need BIOCHAR! Biochar alone can do it after ONE nitrogen charge! After crossing certain limit there is no "dry season" anymore!

Do you just leave them in the same pasture over night or do you move them to the next day before sundown? Or do your cows spend nights in a barn

22:39 and Bob's your uncle 😂😂🤷‍♂️

Better still use series of Bud Box's to build yards far superior to Grandin designs.

I would recommend a book by Allan Savory called "Holistic Resource Management" published in 1988: ISBN0933280629 and in preparing for this presentation I came across this interesting article from West Virginia University published in 2005: "Pasture Management for Pasture-finished Beef"

Is ir possible to include with horses and goats?

hello how much space you will need for 10 caw for grazing rotation please ?

Not related to "Intensive Care Unit"?

Ha, sorry about the typo in my apology about my typos.

Just one point I'd like to correct if I may. Grandin means well but Bud Williams does it a lot better when it comes to handling animals. Find out for yourself. You won't be sorry.

How many cows per acre

if you google map this farm, it's completely green.

Let us know how thats working for you

Hi 😊

sorry about types.

What is ca-pilaries??? You mean cap-il-laries?

u know, i really love all these ideas and i think they would definitely save the world. but there's 1 obstacle we need to remove first... the governments. they can either cease to exist or they should reduce its size and power.

GREEN PASTURES Psalm 23:2 Greener pastures - a place or thing that is an improvement on one’s current situation; be put out to grass - forced into retirement; be put out to pasture - retired from work, allowed to roam freely in field/pasture. For sheep pasture is not only a place but food - laying down in green pastures is like lying down in a very large plate of food 😋. What does this mean for a Christian? Our Good Shepherd cares for us in abundance, as far as the eyes of faith can see. Lock out ‘reality’ and let in love - no matter what happens JESUS loves us end and beginning.

and Bobs your uncle ? ok when do I get to meet him

wtf who's bob time 22:33

Bob's your uncle?

great vid but the grazing animals follow the rains. it has nothing to do with predators.

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence. [Holy Quran 20:54]

those pictures showing the tree roots going deep are highly inaccurate

Ray Tek, you have it all backwards. We need to government to setup the infrastructure and systems for these policies and actively push them. Right now, our government is support massive corporate farming practices that put short term profit over long term sustainability and economic stability. The problem isn't the government, it is that we have allowed massive amounts of money to infiltrate and corrupt all our great institutions, both public and private, for the benefit of a select few.

Great Work then Shit Happens

Wow I watched 4 other videos on this topic. one was useless. One was ok. The other two had at most 1 point you did not cover however tour had way more data well presented. I do not recal the name of some presidential candidate who said farming was something Anyone could do but you Sir know Farming Science Cattle Ranching and teaching. No wonder the candidate lost.

Intensive rotational grazing was developed by Alan savory. LIE If savory is telling his cultists this, the he is a liar.
