Thanks Sally!

Me either Sally. I’d rather see peaceable grazing animals any day. Cow patties over street patties any day. Lol

Those Cows would of voted for Trump you know..

Thank-you Donald!!

My pleasure!

His enthusiasm for his farm and lifestyle is addictive isn't it. Well deserved I'd say. When you're in love with what you do and proud of what you've built, every bug and crawly critter is a gift.

I could not have said it better Brent. Thanks for everything that you have done for us Brent over the years. I'm glad your sheep and guardian dogs are working well for you.

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Ha, you're most welcome. I don't think I could ever fully repay you for all the patience, help and advice you've given to me over the years but I'll sure try. The sheep and the dogs are doing great. They're one of the great loves of my life. No matter how bad a day gets, I always look forward to going and working with them and getting a breather from everything else. My cattle are doing great as well, I wish I'd have been able to get them from you but I'll try to check that item off my wish list here in the coming years.

Greg's given me a greater appreciation to everything on my farm worms,spiders,bugs,birds. My property is an oasis of life esp. Song birds.

Bet you have some happy cows on that green grass!

Best thing since sliced bread!

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Mr Judy will Kentucky 31 fescue grow well in Georgia?

Very welcome

Thanks 👍

Our sheep do quite well on Kentucky 31 stockpiled fescue during the winter. Sheep flock do not get any hay all winter. Tried giving them a bale last winter in a snow storm, they refused to eat it, foraged for their food instead.

Pheasants need thick standing cover and a food source. If you have land to manage plant some switch grass in 6 foot rows.

They move cattle about twice a day, no need for any single pond to supply water to a huge area.

Capture the water on your land while it is still legal to do so, period. If you run out of water and the water company tells you to not water livestock with their water in severe droughts, your out of business.

I hope those folks out there set up a channel of their own!

Hay feeding season is as long as you make it sounds more like my reality. North country winters are a fact.

Just didn’t need it this summer. Not sure why.

We let our animals stay outside every day of their lives. We don’t have barns on our farms to do the deep bedding method.

They certainly eat some of the leaves.

Rough hair coat, thin livestock, develop limps that will not go away, lose their tail switch, do not breed back.

He said in freezing weather they empty the tank and take it to the house and bring it back in the morning. Cattle drinking from it through the day usually provides enough flow to keep it liquid.

@@Digger927 So they use it above freezing temps? I heard it but I wasn't clear.

@@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962 No, he said in freezing weather they go down to the smaller 50 gallon tank. They do that so it's less wasteful to dump it at night. In freezing temps, they drain it and take it in at night so it doesn't tempt the cattle to want to drink. Then they bring it back the next morning and refill it. The hose doesn't usually freeze because cattle drink from it enough in the daytime to keep it flowing enough to keep it from freezing. Water flow into the tank is much harder to freeze because the pond water is is at subterranean temps and flowing water is much harder to freeze up. We get fairly nice winters here in MO. Sub zero winters up north and that probably wouldn't work.

We take the tank and hose in at night if we are expecting freezing temps.

Thank you

No

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher These guys were saying it does but that would mean all wild game would taste bad right? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8iblbxqs5rOmn0.html

He had rope tied around it under the tape...

The duck tape is there to protect the polyethylene rope until the water covers it. There are three tight circles of 3/8" rope that will hold the standpipe to the fiberglass posts for the life of the pond.
