Folks by following the guide lines that I laid out over the 5 series of videos, you can implement your own grazing operation without numerous mistakes. Hope to see some of you at our spring grazing school May 7-9th, check it out at greenpasturesfarm.net

I second your advice about taking your time to find good cattle. My first attempt with grazing cattle did not start well. I made the mistake of trusting the local livestock auction manager to tell what lot to bid on. He sold me the wildest seven steers and I mean they were wild. When the livestock hauler unloaded them at our place those steers ran us all over and took off in a mad stampede. I had no horse or atv to go after them. Somehow by the grace of God they ended up back on the land I leased.

My stocking rate is 1 yearling for 40 acres or a pair at 70. When I got this place it was 160 per pair. My rate has almost doubled in 6 years. My pastures are state land they set my animal units. I average 12 inches of rain

It would be beneficial if you could "go over the numbers" i.e. how much should you budget for, what are realistic annual costs, how much time is required. I know this highly subjective with a lot of scenarios, but it would give people an idea of what to expect. Thanks for these videos

Thanks for this series. Answered several questions for me. I'm pretty new to your channel, but have watched many of your videos. I haven't seen anything about weaning, casterating/banding. Another thing is you run a large herd and I gather that you keep your bulls separated except for a short breeding season. I'd like to hear more on those subjects. How many cows per bulls ...

I am poised to take over the family farm after my father died. Him and me had a small flock of sheep. They have been roaming the pasture freely, but now I am thinking about changing to holistic grazing. Last video you talked about a pond for watering, I will have lots of creeks (this is west coast of Norway, think rain and mountains) I believe that letting them hav access to the creeks will not be as problematic as letting them have access to a pond, as it is many of them, and the animals will not be impacting the same piece of land for long, have I understood your premise correctly?

I've seen an old video of Greg's where he put up fence just at the edge of a creek, or a riparian area or something. So the animals could drink but not walk into the water. Really similar to this video (also Greg) on fencing a pond: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNFxlsxlrdGmkX0.html

I am a A.I tech and A.I only really works 60% of the time as a average. So A.I is a good thing to use advance your genetics quickly and is a good way to get cows bred but i always recommend the use of a clean up bull to ensure a higher percent calf crop. If you dont want to purchase a bull, a good option is renting/leasing a bull for a season.

You usually need at least 70 head if you want to start keeping some of your bulls back and line breed with minimal inbred negatives. Rent, lease, or swapping bulls is your best option if you have a small heard.

I’m guessing that water valve system wouldn’t work in my region as our frost will go down much deeper than you can reach down into a hole. Our frost in SD goes down 4ft+ depending on the year. I talked to a guy who claimed they found frost at 7ft one year.

Im not sure why you need high tensile wire for electric fencing. There is no need for it to be under high tension. Medium tensile wire is just as effective, cheaper and much easier to work with. I have 100 kg kangaroos bouncing off it all the time and it doesnt break. www.waratahfencing.com.au/products/wire/fence-wire/flexabel-longlife-blue

I'm projecting, ignorant wanna'be, sectionalizing as you show, and watching the parcels you left access to, (as you say, you don't need to fence recently grazed plots), and when past plots begin to develop grass tips, go ahead and run an electrified braid, to keep them from revisiting early.
