I can't begin to tell you how many KZfaq channels reference you. A lot of successful farmers say good things about you. You have my attention.

Still watching and addicted more than ever to your videos Greg. I am 73 this month, I have never been a rancher and never will be but your videos are so inspirational. In my first successful business 30 years ago I took an existing business model and redesigned it from the ground up much like you are have evolved to become a "microbe" farmer. Right now I am in the middle of rethinking an existing business and once again have redesigned it so it is easier and more profitable. When I talk to people in my industry they think I am nuts (and I just might but not in the way they think I hope). People in conventional business models have a very difficult time rethinking how they operate. They have all that equipment and man power they are heavily invested in, it is in their best interest not to rock the boat. Two years ago I knew next to nothing about my existing business, today my guess is my bottom line is better than most of my far bigger competitors and with far less stress and extremely importantly NO DEBT. Greg your videos should be required watching at the best business schools in the world.

Greg Judy's videos are the first videos I've ever seen without thumbs downs

I found your channel a few days ago and have binge watching as much as I can since. You're awesome Greg. I love your energy, your optimism, and your excitement for doing what you love.

Thank you. I wish I could adequately express how much your encouragement means to me.

So, I'm not a cattleman. Not a sheep farmer. Trees. Chestnuts, hazels, fruits and such. I am kicking the idea around of building a small flock of sheep (4) to graze out areas on our little place. I'm still on the fence for the idea, since we still like to get up and travel, and as you know, animals need husbandry, where trees can take care of themselves for a few weeks at a time. So, there it is. Love what you are doing! Love the nuggets of inspiration. Love the reality that you have shown can be. Thanks.

We raise sheep really only for ourself. I have thought, multiple times, as I drive past empty fields of “weeds” how useful that could be for a flock or a heard...and I probably wouldn’t even have to lease!

Great attitude Greg! I’m so glad you are teaching the wisdom and experience you have gained over the years. You speak the truth and everyone should pay rapt attention to your insights. Keep up the good work.

I happened to stumble on some Allan Savory videos and eventually your's. I just want to thank you for turning me back on to the possibility of grazing again. I grazed dairy cows for a little while, but had to sell and move on. As much as grazing was a love for me, I became numb. It's been almost exactly 7 years since we sold our cows and I'm finally getting the feeling of aw, excitement and wonder back for this. I'm 100% certain that between experience, self directed education and maybe growing wiser with age, I'll be more prepared next time. There's some old, rough, weeded up pasture across the street that I just might see if I can start off with a few goats or katahdins this summer. Thanks, you remind me so much of myself before I sold my cows! I almost forgot what it was like!

Tough times don’t last, tough people do. Thanks for the daily inspiration

heaven is right 🙌 appreciate your enthusiasm for people to follow your lead

Love you, my brother Greg. Much respect to you, the life you live and the land you manage. I'm now self employed with my turf management company (quit the "town" job to pursue my urban ag passion...dream came true. Love the videos!

God Bless Greg, great advice.

Encouraging. Thank you for the transparency.

Love what your doing Mr Greg! Ive been rolling some of my hay out like you suggested to improve my soil.

You don't know how bad I needed this video! Thank you!

Super helpful, Greg. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Judy

Greg, Great video always a positive guy. Thanks for giving us the push to get started.

Thanks Greg. I need this today!

Thanks Greg-best advice ever! ‘Just do it”

I really enjoy listening to the enthusiasm and excitement that you have for your cattle. Thanks for all you do

You are so inspiring! Thank you Greg. 🐂🐃🐮

Great attitude Greg...enjoyed it.

Thanks, Greg. I can use the encouragement!

Thank you Greg Judy

All respect for you! I really appreciate the enthusiasm you have and the effort you do to encourage people do to agar they like! Just lovely

Awesome advice.. Have a great day ☃️☃️☃️

Waiting for the sheep fencing video like the one you did for cattle. Love what you do and how you do it.

We are soooo looking forward to grazing school in may!

Shalom! Mr. Greg...you are a genius and such an inspiration to my son, grandsons and myself. Thank you so very kindly. Blessings to you and yours!

Excellent video - Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your videos. I was working in midwest for six years which I loved it, but I don’t miss the cold , rain and snow. I love the cold mornings and walks which everyone here are dying at 45 degrees.. they don’t know... Downey California

Great video

Thank you so much for sharing this. This would be my dream! I live in Philly though argh!

Again, Superb! Thank-you! I recall, was it you or Rick Salutin who said, "Metal eats money" so true!

You are by far my favorite man. I'd love to pick your brain someday, God bless!

Thank you for this great video. :) I only have chickens at the moment. I would love to at least get sheep some day, never considered cows till I started watching your videos. Thanks for encouraging all of us and sharing great advice

You can't beat the passion

Young grazier here, Greg’s the best example of how to make this work that I’ve found. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, including the buy-animals-before-understanding-their-fencing-needs mistake. It’s too late for me to start over with only one or two steers, but I am slowly changing my grazing system to smaller paddocks and moving more frequently, and Im seeing results on the ground. Most of my pastures still need more rest than I give, but they’re doing better than when I first started with these fields.

I love this video. We've been knocked out by crooked banker on my Grandfather's land in the past and now we're back to 20 hd of cattle and building sheep now. Even added back another 22 acres 4 yrs ago . Doing intensive grazing. Love it

Wow what a great heard you got Greg! Been waching youre videos for couple days already. Thanks for the great info. Thinking of starting the cattle. Finally moved out of the city to a 300acres with 6 ponds. What bred is this? Im leaning towards black angus or herefords. Thanks again for the awesome info Sir !! God bless!! Im 27yrs old so i guess i still got plenty of time to catch up to you :)

Awesome video, question, do you recommend dragging pastures ( 20 to 30 acres) to spread manure?

Thank you Greg! I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and they have helped me a lot. I’m 21 years old and you’ve inspired me. I haven’t found anyone around here in East Tennessee to go learn from. My family actually bought a 65 acre farm with a farm house back in 2017 and I’m the one that keeps everything going. My parents don’t have the thrive to mess with them cause of work. I currently have as of now 27 head. That’s including bulls and calves. So roughly 15 head of momma cows. 5 sheep and wanting to get into registered boer goats. 20 chickens just for eggs. 2 horses and 2 donkeys. 2020 has been rough for me and my parents and every time I watch your videos it’s relief and you inspire me not to give up. And I have a question If I sketched out and sent a video of my property, would you be willing to help me figure out how to set up my fence for good rotational grazing? Thank you Greg!

This video gave me hope when I was beginning to lose it.

Where I farm - in Ontario Canada- it is still 'southern Ontario' but if you didn't put up hay for the winter there are many/most years when you would be in trouble. Snow covers the land meters high and the cows would be unable to graze. I have seen some videos where the conditions might be somewhat similar but you need hay to help you make it through the tough times where I am located.

Love your videos. Thanks for sharing your lifestyle. I had a question though. What breeds of cattle do you raise? I know you said to get the size down, but how tall are these cattle? I wanted to get into dexters and mini Herefords, but man they are pricey. Are these just based on red lowline cattle? I mean I see some red bald faces too, but seems like they’re either red Dexter or red lowline angus? I’d really appreciate if you could help me out. Thanks again

Was that water collection in the back?

I think for sustainability cows, sheep and geese - all grazers - is the beat way to go. Even though I like to add rabbits to the mix because they eat little in winter and can thrive on garden scraps in summer. One question on cattle. At what age does Veal turn to beef?

I really enjoy your videos, they're full of information and you are always soo encouraging. One question what breed of cows do you have?

Dude these are some of the fastest cows I’ve seen.. to be just grass is much d blowing

I’m thinking that you leave calf out with there Moma the colostrum must help feed the microbs better than them being in a barn I wonder how the ground would compare under microscope compared to land with no nursing calf’s

You said you can’t produce enough grass fed beef. How do you market your grass fed beef? I would like to finish on grass but don’t know how to start.

What kind of perimeter fence do you use if the lease farm doesn't have much or any?

I would love to see a photo of cow 840 without her winter coat to compare to the photo at (6:07).

You really make me want to sell it all and get out of the city.

That dark red bull about 8 minutes into the video is quite a bull!

How much your herd total amount grows by head count every year is it able to keep getting larger most years

Amen.

Hey Greg, I like soo much your videos. They have soo much information, and I want to contribute to other brazillians have access to same information that I have been listen from you. But normaly, in Brazil, farmers doesn't speak English. For theese ones I'd like to transcript and translate your videos. I didn't know how you can enable de community contribution, but KZfaq has tools for that. Can you find how to enable it?

Greg, I probley missed it but what breed are the cows?

What kind of cows are these, smaller frame red angus? How did you breed them smaller?

wonderful encouraging advise to get engaged in cattle farming # but i will purchase Alpha Alpha or Rhode grass instead of moving out of city to get pasture land # Greg i agree with U but grass alone as a feed is insufficient for cattle since it does not contains extremely low & mostly unbreakable carbohydrates as compare to grains & contains less fatty acids #

I wanna do this

fantastico!

Dear Greg, accidentally I discovered your video... I really need to ask you some questions about cows and fodder. I have five acres only and I raise 5 cows now along with 12 goats. I never raised them before. I want to cut down my cost on sweet potatoes cause that is the one my cows love right now. I am working on growing grass too. Your video is really inspiring me now.. Can i contact you over the phone? Or email you? Please, let me know thanks

great video Greg, I am wondering how do you go about finding cattle that can be 100% grassfed?

Greg, how do you deal with bloat?

OK....BACK UP! DID YOU SAY YOU LET THE COWS WEAN THE CALVES THEMSELVES? I WOULD LIKE SOME MORE INFO ON THAT. IVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT. SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING. THANKS BUNCHES.

How much can you charge per day per head nowadays

Greg I work away a month at a time. Now I just got a small herd but how can I rotate my 18 acres. There’s only one source of water and it’s possible to set 3 paddocks and still give them water. I only have 8 head at the moment until calves hit the ground. Do you think think it’s possible to achieve better quality pastures by rotating every 30 days

Will stockpiled Bermuda and Bahiagrass be able to sustain cattle like fescue? In southeast Louisiana no one moves their cattle everyday it seems like, and I would love to, but I’d hate to work all summer and then the stockpile not be nutritious enough to maintain a decent body condition...

Ok important question here; I’m making critical changes to my program. So r u saying the Cows pictured weigh around 1100lb? Were at 16 head and really rethinking our culls- trying to differentiate heifers from cows I guess....

Greg, you said in the video that you don’t wean. Do you let the bulls breed naturally too or do you separate them to keep set breeding “seasons”?

My calculations you have about 3/4 of a million to one million In beef depending on daily market price and sales method for get the stock market jus selling 10 percent every year that’s a good income

Just starting out. I have 20 acres of good solid Bermuda. Will fence it soon. How many mature cows are recommended on this tract? Thanks

Greg, Can you recommend a good source for un-registered South Polls for someone looking to start a herd. I'm in Southern Pennsylvania and although there are sources for registered South Polls in Virginia, I haven't had much success finding un-registered. Thanks

Thanks for your great information. I'm relocating to NC and am interested in ranching cattle (cows) for a living. Could you share a few basic points on what will be required to be able to realistically do this as a full time job in beef cattle only? Number of cattle, acres, sales per year needed, etc. To earn a living must I sell at auction live only? or need to incorporate dressed cattle as I think you diversify and do? (more profitable per cattle?) Thanks

Anothergreat video Greg! I love seeing your daily videos. I think you're doing amazing things and doing a great service explaining how to run a grassfed farm. I think the first thing you mentioned about moving to where you can get land is truly the key. I live in Lincoln, NE and there's no way without a massive cultural shift that I (or anyone else in the state) would be able to get enough land to have a grassfed operation that can sustain even one family. Hopefully that will chnage though! I am curious, have you compared the meat from one of your cows to a grain finished? It seems the intermuscularfat is much higher in the grain finished. My own preference aside, do you think this is a major problem in creating a demand for grassfed beef?

Greg, What would you recommend for my first book?

Mr. Judy, hello from south Georgia. I just leased 82 acres that has been abandoned for about 4 years now. It is super overgrown with small trees and brush. I know your mentality when it comes burning. With that being said, is burning a place once ok? lol, just thought i'd run this by you.

Great job, Greg! Love your enthusiastic videos. How do the cattle handle the K 31 in summer?

Hey Greg I live in a colder climate and was wondering what type of sheep you would recommend to be able to strive on just a mostly grass based diet (I would want to grow them for meat production) Thanks

I'm in Oklahoma and got that broomshedge. Do you have any ideas how to combat that

I just bought 2 heifers (pregnant) & a bull “Elgin” . They are registered Scottish highland . We are passionate about this breed. What is your take on this breed? Scott

They look to me (who knows absolutely nothing about cows) like they are digging deeper into the fodder. Is this the last time this land is going to be grazed before regrowth?

What type of cows do you have

And what breed did U say u were reasoning here? South poll? Many thanks working towards improvements. Ha we’ve also go kentucky31 all over ...😃

Ground to Plate - Nothing in between, No middle Costs !!

“Generate income while you sleep.”

Greg's financial philosophy is exactly the same as Robert Kyosaki's (Rich Dad Poor Dad) Use what money you can save to buy assets. Don't buy liabilities, buy assets that put money in your pocket. A cow or a sheep is the definition of an asset.

California we are eating more meat and grass feed is a big. Joe rogan and others realized veggie diet isn’t made for us.. Keep the faith..

I went through a divorce I didn't want. much of it was the result of my parents listening to their favorite adopted son. Their favorite adopted son conned my parents into buying tons of things for the farm and I was expected to do all the hard work while he sat around on the tractor all day long. He convinced my parents to squander all the corn money from the high grain prices. Then the markets crashed. In the end, he left when my divorce was final he left and he still owes my parents $4,000. This is why you should not put a 22 year old in charge. Not good at all. But my parents bought into his nonsense.

Divorce is the most destructive force perpetrated against any society.

This doesn’t make sense. 1. Where are you located again? I have winter and grass stops growing where I live. Meaning I have to eventually purchase hay. 2. How are you having a successful cow calf operation without corn purchases? You need to change the nutrition for cows during gestation periods. Legit questions.

You don’t hear anything but “munch, munch”.
