When I was a teenager, I never woulda thought I would enjoy watchin a 27 minute video about working cattle, but here I am as an adult and its probably one of the most relaxing things I could do! It’s amazing how we change as people over the course of our lives. Thanks for the great content as usually Mr. Greg!

How can we ever get tired of seeing gorgeous unstressed cattle in the middle of lush summer?

Those dark bulls look extra great. Love seeing them all get excited for NEW GRASS! That's all it is, they're totally comfortable with their handlers, and fully expect fresh grass a couple times each day, they're all in radiant good health from their natural non-toxic environment, the gals have bulls/bulls have gals, and the calves have their Mommas, what's not to be a HAPPY COW about? How could any cattle producer/consumer/land manager not love this scene? Best footage starts 7:03

Pretty cool, it's amazing how easy working cattle can be. I sorted out all my heifers that are too young to breed and my old cows I didn't want to expose back yet, the other day. I did the sorting with a polywire corral and a couple of pieces of string, worked like a charm. The cattle were happy, no stress and everyone was sorted and back out on pasture within 30 minutes. Made myself mad for not recording it on video, would have made a heck of a cool video. I was so proud of myself and my herd I could have just popped at the seems. I don't have much experience handling animals to that extent so it doesn't take a lot to impress me, lol. It's just cool to see them all cooperate and be patient with me within just a cold single wire. Ha

Greg been experiencing here lately the same problem! When its so hot I notice its hard to get the babies moving with the herd. The calves are where I like to be when its hot.....in the shade! Lol It takes awhile for my babies in 90 degree plus weather to get to that herd mantality. Thanks for what you do, Ive learned alot. Started mob grazing this past spring ,the pastures are really improved, its working, and most of all Ive got my hard headed dad on board!

Thanks Greg for sharing a video of you and the guys working cattle out of the herd. It’s nice to see some of the other jobs you all do every day besides your daily paddock moves. Great learning material.

I love grandma.

I enjoy seeing you enjoy your cattle. the fact that you work so hard to improve your herd and the joy you get from it is rewarding to me and many others and helping the young men learn and practice the art of cattle raising is be on words. enjoy your life's calling.

So nice to see them run around.

The greenest pastures around! I was noting yesterday on a drive how most "free roaming" or non-managed pastures around here look about like pool table felt with randomly placed 5-6' ironweed plants all over. IOW most TN pastures are just horrible compared to yours, and I just don't see the desire to use/abuse land that way. It seems that better managment is not that difficult. Love your GRASS! The world has to learn rotational grazing. Keep up the great work.

Thanks again for starting my day by putting a smile on my face!

Almost like being there! Great video as usual

Ah I wasn’t tired but I. don’t mind sharing a break I will now finish cooking breakfast before I go back to my office I want to catch up with a few things ..no rest for the weary is there. Thank you for your time today I appreciate your videos 👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖😍💫🌟💫🙋🏼‍♀️I will be back with a Mum story after I visit the post office and see what forage I can find in the grocery store. Well I went to the Westside post office it is located in the back of the pharmacy and what to my wondering eyes a little sign saying it was closed. So frustrating when that happens . If the clerk is ill there is no one to take over the shift..I remember Mum sending me to the village post office I don’t remember it being closed during the open hours.we didn’t have delivery service . the ground floor of the postmistress home was the post office when I was younger I would have to wait for someone to come along and let me in because I could not open the door. I never told Mum about my problem I wonder what she thought those times I didn’t return in a timely fashion she never complained about my tardiness.when I got inside there wasn’t much room to line up . There were no lock boxes you had to ask the postmistress to check her sorting boxes I thought it was magical how fast she could find our mail I didn’t realize every family had their own box ! Mum loved to read ,her Aunt DeVita was a school teacher who had a big influence on Mum life. She is the one who signed Alice and I up so that we would get library books mailed by the regional library service this was long before they started the Rural bookmobile service in the province. . .oh I forgot about my foraging expedition I bought two grass fed organic whole chickens and have just realized I didn’t get the organic beets luckily I have some left for this week. See you later.oh I watched the episode again like a good book well worth the time to watch it again 🙋🏼‍♀️😘💞💗💓💞

Brilliant!!! Proves you don't need to man handle your cattle. Patience and know how is all it takes. That's also why they are so tame. They are relaxed. This covid nonsense must pass on and quick. I want to by my plane ticket and visit this farm.

Great look at low stress sorting. It really can be that easy. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

Beautiful work! You totally right, non selective grazing,or total grazing may work in the field with a lot of invasion nonpalability plants for a short time ,but to graze all year round good quality forage ,what you are doing in your operation is the best way to to be successful in this business ! Thanks for sharing all those tips

After watching your videos we've been sorting, loading, and using the squeeze chute in the middle of an open field using only polywire.

Great job guys!

Great video. Do you still have the flock of cow birds in the summer. Have horses here and the flies were bad last summer. Bought some chickens trained the dogs from eating them now have hardly any flies. They are continually scratching around the horses

What a beautiful herd!

Thank you so much for sharing this and all of your tips Greg

Wait you live in the future, cuz here in Europe we are only the seventh 😉 No matter what yet an other informative video

Hello.. love your videos and process ..

I love my new job!! 👑👑♥♥

That is a Looooot of burgers right there!

Greg, how many other "old gals" do you have? We know Grandma is a shining example of good genetics on great forage, but what's the expected "working life" of a Southpoll cow on grass when grazed as you do?

thanks for showing the almost full thing. Reality is awesome!

Hello Greg and Jan! Its so encouraging to see how stress free it can be to manage such large animals. I know ya'll work hard but you make it look easy and enjoyable. Thanks for the great content! I'm new to livestock and I don't quite understand how you grow a small starter herd or flock without inbreeding. Can you do one of your whiteboard sessions on how to manage that in a starter herd/flock and on how you track your genetics? How do you a keep a paper trail on each animal? Much appreciated!

you need a drone, farmers in the netherlands use them to find baby roedeer before mowing..;)

Rhoda are some beautiful, fat cattle!

the fun of being a steward

Is it true cows and sheep cannot yawn?

Hi Greg. I have learnt so much from watching your videos. Thank you. I'm wondering how you prevent inbreeding, if all your cattle are in one herd. Very best wishes

Happy co workers

Reckon 18 months is old enough for a bull calf to start covering 2 heifers?

Looking 👌

awesome #

Greg I am curious to know if you have tried composting the stumps and had any success at it? Seems like you could use the spoiled hay you roll and manure to layer a mound over the stumps ?

So the spring class is usually the first Thursday through Saturday of May?

👍

Would you cull that cow from the herd because it left its calf behind?

Hi greg, how many years old are the oldest cows when you sell them

how do you make videos without shaking me into vertigo ? hahaa

This might be a dumb question. When a bull from a herd gets a really good price at auction, and lots of people are wanting to start a new herd, why does a farmer band the males? Is it a pain to have that many bulls around for that extra year? Is it because there are some who actually would be inferior breeding stock? I would think that a second or third string bull from Judy Farms would be better than many farms starting line-up. That is, for starting a herd. Or is it just better to AI with a few straws from 814?

I can't see any evidence and i think you wet winters contribute to not having any wild fires but do guys ever have any wild fires? If so how often?

First!

I pray you use a drone to film from above. I can’t get the concept from your handheld camera

4 legged Day Care 👍 We just watched another Western Movie where they “move” cattle on horses with Bull whips and shooting 6-guns, so unrealistic and dramatic. Greg you’re outta step with history. Ha !
