Greg discusses how to prevent bloat on clover pasture. With higher stock density you can trample enormous amounts of carbon onto your pasture surface. Check out my books on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net for more profitable grazing tips for your farm.

Over here in the UK, they still feed mostly grass, but the grass half the year is from silage and that definitely affects the flavour. I can't remember the last time I had beef that tasted like it did back in the sixties.

Hey Greg we recently purchased 25 acres in South Australia. We have done soil tests and have found that we are very very acidic at a pH of 4.5 in parts. Its been recommended that we spread lime to the maximum rate but we're not sure that is the best thing to do, we currently have a herd of 13 cows that we rotate daily. Do you have any recommendations on what you would do in this situation? Thanks so much for all the videos you out out have learnt so much!!

Just make sure that your rotation is long enough that the plants have time to recover between grazing rotations.

How do you manage keeping year old heifers from getting breed when turning the bulls in? Mike Harris is bringing me a bull and I have 2 one year old heifers in my herd that I’m afraid will get breed. One has already shown a heat. I’d rather not run 2 herds

Hi Greg my wife and I recently bought 90 acres of land 40 acres of hay field. We want to graze 15-20 Herford cattle next year. The fields were used for haying for the last 20 years. The ground seems to be very fertile and thick with nice grass. Question is should be brush hog it down and give it back to the land or cut and bale the grass? We won’t be dealing with cattle until next year. Thanks

@gregjudyregenerativerancher 4 жыл бұрын

Do not bale it. Either brushog it or leave it alone. If you hay it, will take you years to recover that fertility.

Hello Greg. Beautiful pastures! The amount of clover is amazing! By looking at the residuals left by your cows I was wondering if the trampled plants don't end up killing other plants underneath them. I know that happens to my pastures. They are mostly ryegrass and clover and if the cows leave too much residuals for a few grazings in a row eventually plants die and I have to re-seed. How do you manage that? Do you clip your pastures sometimes?

@gregjudyregenerativerancher 4 жыл бұрын

We never reseed whole pastures. Maybe a severely pugged spot, with light hay spread over it. We have not clipped anything yet.

@billygoat_bob 4 жыл бұрын

@@gregjudyregenerativerancherAll right. Thanks for your response Greg! I'm a dairy farmer producing 100% grass fed milk and was wondering if leasing land like you do would work with dairy cows. I think the difficult part could be putting together a team of people at each farm since I couldn't go to every property to milk. The infrastructure needed in a dairy operation could complicate things also. I would very much like to know what you think. I understand you grew up in a dairy farm so you know the demands. Maybe raising dairy heifers would a better way to go. Sorry to bother you again. Thanks.

He'll keep it in the herd as long as it keeps producing healthy calves. A cow that's so fecund as to produce 18 calves is certainly not one you'd get rid of as long as it continues to reproduce -- you definitely want those genetics in the herd!
