Isaac puts 800,000 lbs stocking density on Sericea Lespedeza with cow/calf mob with 30-minute moves. Isaac spent the whole day with our cow/calf mob and moved them 15 times to get maximum animal hoof & grazing impact on the Sericea area of our pasture. The cows did a great job of eating and trampling everything in each temporary paddock strip. It will be interesting to see what this area looks like with 60 days of recovery.

Instead of herbicide - I would call that Hooficide.

Hi Greg, i used a similar method with my sheep along a creek that had very dence brush next to lush forb pasture. I gave the 75 sheep a lane about 20 x 200 feet wide parraling the stream for about 12 hr before opening that lane to the rest of the paddock for the remainder of the day. It was very successful as the competed for the forage and did a great job of NOT selectively grazing but cleaning their plate so to speak. This was repeated as they moved along the creek and the impact was remarkable.

Nice to see a vid on Isaac's tight move experiment that you mentioned after you got back from CA, glad he is doing it again for us to see This looks great, very interesting!

Thank you for not using glyphosate!

I am surprised the cattle have not figured out yet that when the fence is being rolled up the wire is not hot. Hope they never do.

Looks like the rain gave the fly population a boost. It always does, but after a dry spell it seems concentrated. Love the impact grazing.

Compare this to all the machinery videos... Old school, low tech, high results.

Sericea is high in condensed tannins. Condensed tannins are bad news for the barber Pole worm!

This plant is considered invasive in many areas. It may be allelopathic, producing substances that chemically inhibit the growth of other plants. It forms extensive monocultures and develops an extensive seed bank in the soil, ensuring its long residence at a site.

Beautiful cows. Great to see the natural "weed" management. They sure do smack it down. 😊

Anyone who has sons like your guys are SO blessed.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer

@JoshPiland

Thanks for sharing Isaac and Greg! It’s great to see Man, animal, and Manimal [Isaac] doing the work together.

Amazing this popped up a day after I watched the newest video of this exact pasture

@davidhickenbottom6574

That little calf said, I'll eat it I think it's kind of minty yummy..that's intense grazing buddy. Love it

@tamaraspillis612

My gosh those massive bawling animals held in check by that wire. Not their first choice that brushy grass. But in a tight situation 😂 stomach trumps choice😂. Good strategy Isaac!
