Great system! And may I say how you raise your cattle shows in how relaxed and calm they are❤ Love what your doing and showing the world a better way!!!!

I've read both you books and was also still unsure of exactly how spikes and chains interacted. Thanks from Texas! God bless you.

I just started farming two years ago. The first year I used bale rings and I started to this year and after a month of it I said forget this and bought a hay unroller for my tractor and I will not be going back to rings. The cows are happier and so am I. I don’t have enough cows to clean up a bale in a day so I unroll half a bale a day. Seeing the cows spread their own poop and pee while trampling grass and clover seed is a beautiful thing. Lol. People talk about the waste with unrolling. First off, once I figure out how much I need to feed daily, I have less waste and I am able to extend my hay vs giving them all the hay they can possibly eat. My cows are in good condition too. Secondly, what’s left over is not waste as it builds up the soil and it’s no more then what they would pick out and drop outside of the ring or leave in the ring. If you have 10 cows and unroll an entire 1000 pound bale at once, yes they are going to waste a bunch and your probably going to have some dead spots for awhile in your pastures. Figure out what they should have in a day and only feed that.

Cows are sure nice to be nice and quiet for the videos.

This is how it's done here in Montana but we use Bale Feeders mounted on trucks, they are about 10,000 installed so this is a great alternative

Greg you are the man! I am rotating my sheep now because of you! I could watch animals move to grass all day! I guess I’ll have to settle for hay being rolled out for a few months!

7:20 👍 the only sales pitch you need is right there Feed 20 in a ring or 200 on the ground whilst spreading seed and fertility around.

The disposition of the cattle is amazing.

WOW! Changemaking. And both cast and crew appeared healthy and happy. Thank you.

Almost 20,000 subscribers! Way to go Greg! Teaching them the good stuff.

Those cows are so happy

Thanks, Greg. I've been following you for several years. I just started here on the Tube and just subscribed this morning. I'm looking forward to some more good tips. You've got some great content. I've got a little suggestion for you that will improve your bale unrolling. We unroll lots of them up here in Montana. If you'll hook up to the bale so that you unroll it the way it was rolled up (with the stems going down in the front) they will unroll better. You hooked up to this one backwards. It works that way, but the other way works better. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Greg I really appreciate all of your knowledge and ideas you have . I always learn a lot from you r videos. Thank you!! Thank you!!

I love the way the cows “politely” waited for the removal of the netting before munching 😉 Your cows are well behaved.

This is just fantastic! Smartest thing I’ve seen in a long time!! Thanks for sharing ! And - super nice herd! Great job! 👍

Genius! Love your videos. Thanks for all you do. I literally know less than zero but you’ve saved me tens of thousands of dollars by convincing me I don’t need equipment.

What a great setup. ❤️🌱

GREG JUDY IS ON A ROLL!!! cowabungah!

I love seeing what you're doing, just wish I could do it in the Arizona desert.

I'm kinda surprised you are using a Honda four wheeler. Seems to me your four wheeler should be a Cowasaki. (Great content!)

It's a beautiful thang!

The cows are so polite!

Great video and great bale mover/feeder.

Very nice!!! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

thank you fer the video

Really nice clean herd, I like that unroller- we use wagon feeders here in pa.

Thanks Greg, I think I asked you what size ATC you used at one point, thanks for that as well.

I have a question about the mineral feeder! Can you talk more about the setup and the delivery process?

Beautiful! Thank-you!

This is such a cool tool..

What an awesome contraption you have there 😍😍 I’d love the specs on that so I could build one for my bales here in Australia 💕👍🏽

This thing is perfect for carrying hay

I could see that paying for itself for small operations, maybe a few head of cattle, sheep or horses, that have been feeding squares. They could unroll bits at a time, then reel it back up and put it under cover. With squares running 4 or 5 times the cost of rounds, that could be a real $$ saver. Good luck!

Thank you for the video

Nice system!

If you made a spot on the trailer tongue that could hold a sledgehammer to hammer the spikes in and make the winch mounting spot so it could accommodate an electric winch then you could open your market to elderly folks or people with younger children

I like how the cow just walk on the hay

very informative great video

Cool set up .....nice

Мы вручную раскатываем рулон это тяжело а они молодцы хорошо придумали 👍 надо что-то вроде этого и самому тоже сделать спасибо за идею

Been looking for this video #naturalgramma RevHank & Laura Reid

Lol, they're just standing there waiting waiting ....:-)

You can tell the cows would like to eat but they aren’t super hungry or they would be making a ton of noise

This is awesome!

I built one of these 15 years ago and still use it today. Unfortunately I never thought to patent it and 7 years ago someone did..

Good stuff - how does that bale weight compare to the rated payload for the ATV?

If you have seed in your bales, the nutriens in the hay are mostly gone.

DEFINITELY on my equipment list! Is there a way that you repurpose a bale net?

Very cool! Can't wait to get our four wheeler out on our farm!

Молодцы. 👍

thats really cool!

Does the unroller work for a 5x6? Thanks Greg.

Now i want one to do my hunting fields, up North. We cannot bait, so this would solve 2 issues at once. Build up the fields and a food source.

The only thing that would improve this would be 6 inches of clean snow to feed on.

Did you make this? What are the dimensions? I like it!

Now I see why people are lining up to buy these things haha :)

We use a lot of baleage for finishing. Have you had experience using it with wet wrapped hay?

I need such a gadget to move hay bales in the winter for my horses. Just drop them on a pallet, not unroll them....and pull the equipment with a Polaris. I don't have a big enough tractor to do the job

Молодцы 👍👍👍👍

Hello! Very cool! Like!

We have an area that dad and i was thinking about un rolling bales over that area for the winter. Trying to bring life to the soil.

can the unroller work using a small tractor since I do not have a 4-wheeler

great video Greg , is there a certain type of hay you buy ??

Just curious if you ever buy soft core bales like from a claas baler? We have unrolled some by hand and after a couple rolls they just seem to fall apart in a big clump.

How do you get the bale into the field? When you buy the bale does the farmer drop it in the field for you? I'm assuming you're storing them somewhere until you need it. Does the roller carry from the storage to the field?

I have a hay unroller that I use on the tractor and would not use anything else. I would like to have one of these for a 4 wheeler when it gets muddy but they are kind of pricey. I plan ahead now for wet weather and as I unroll I will leave a fourth or so of a roll and will put it on a small trailer that I pull with a four wheeler and take it to the cows. I then unroll by hand. This works well on smaller groups but kind of hard on larger groups.

It’s so hilly around here you just put out a bale at the top of a hill and let it roll down the hill.

Greg can you do a video or about free choice minerals? What you have in that awesome mineral feeder on skids please? I have jersey and angus and jerseys suffer from copper toxicity in their livers- making it extremely difficult to find mineral supplements I can safely use. Also where can we purchase loose minerals with out having to sell the farm to pay for shipping costs. Thank you !

Great videos! Is the bale unroller more maneuverable with your 4-wheeler than with your side-by-side? Thank you.

Good looking hurd of cows

I have vetch the purple one in my hay... I need to find out if rabbits can eat it?

What kind of hay do you buy?

5:43 is when the magic happens

That’s a lotta cattle. Red angus too? How many acres and where does your hay bakes come from?

Genius!

Super 👍

Anyone keep hay like Greg does outdoors on logs with just the netting in a 50 inch rainfall region? It has been a very wet fall and winter here, I had some bales stacked on logs like Greg, and lost a lot of hay. I didnt realize how bad a little rip in the netting can be. The guy I bought it from said he loaded his truck with pallet forks. A good neighbor put me in touch with a nice old hay farmer who has hundreds of bales left that are higher quality and 5$ cheaper. He's bringing them by four at a time and I'm keeping them under a tarp until I use them.

what breed of cattle do you have? Red angus?

Just curious if anybody rolls hay out like this for horses?

Очень здорово просто великолепно

how do we get a bale unroller ?

Do you ever need the 4x4 on the Honda?

I’m in Ireland. We get a lot of rain. Will the cattle eat wet hay?

Is it just me or was there some bones on the ground at 4:16?

Can i find and buy this material in europe?I live in south France...Thank you very much

Looking into buying an atv. What size atv do you use for unrolling your hay? What brand do you recommend? Thanks!

So how much do these bale weigh

Even though your rotational grazing, what is your stock rate per pair?

Отличный идея

😍😍😍

If you have a bull and 20 heifers, how many calves can you expect the first year?

How many times a year do you usually use hay?

Will the bale unroller handle a one ton bale

Will this still help the soil if you just put in a field you cleared? No animals yet so I would be minus the nitrogen part(manure and urine).

What brand is that feeder? Where can you buy them?

That looks like a quality piece! Is there any benefits to unrolling hay in poor areas to help the land?

I have 35 acres so not many animals. My question is can I only unroll part of a bale and then drive off without the rest of the bale just falling apart? I would only put out part of the bake for 3 days. Thank you.

You should somehow retrofit a electric winch onto your setup. Could easily run the power from the quad and speed up the process.

1200 lbs for 292 heads is approximately 4lbs per head, that's not much and I know he stockpiled and rotates his cattle. A cow needs approximately 3% of body weight daily to maintain body weight and they have calves on them , it's questionable and I don't believe he's only feeding a bale in conjunction with pile stocking.

Do you buy hay that you know is mostly made up of the fescue that you like?
