How is this click bait? It was a question for the title and the thumbnail says I have proof it works. That's like me making a video of how to make sourdough bread and showing me making sourdough bread

@@mossyrootsfarm2263 heh sorry for triggiring but its information gives me motivation on regenerative farming. but is it possible i can do the thing your doing with only two goat Tethered here in the philippines?

@@creepinglimongrass3276 I don't see why not. May be way easier to move if your teachers are set up ahead of time. But these methods can work with any type of animal that eats grass. Some do slightly different jobs than others. But none the less all the same.

Indeed I think too many humans want human shaped cats. That's not how nature intended for them to be.

Your welcome

Hey now that's something I could try haha. Thank you.

So mowing can add nutrients and minerals back to the soil. But that green manure as some may call it takes some time to decompose. Cows will quickly aid in that process by creating brown manure that can get into the soil faster. You can also crimp plants like this to knock them down. However you're still waiting a while for decomposition. In either scenario firing up a tractor is a waste of time and fuel if your cows will do the same job with some careful management.

@@mossyrootsfarm2263 I believe it's called crop rotation. Usually one field out of the many that a farmer owns doesn't get used for a season to allow the soil to recoup it's nutrients and minerals. If this was not done all the manure in the world would not be enough to sustain a crop.

@@gooosfrabaYT also not true. My farm was hayed for years on end with no fertilizer or manure added. The hay field was seeded 20-30 years ago and was not touched until recently. I think we forget what exactly the earth looked like before humans created a thought. No fertilizer trucks to add anything in 1600's, So how did grass survive since then? The same way it's thriving now. Just under "new" styles of management.

@@mossyrootsfarm2263 If you really are a farmer then you should already know that not everyone grows only hay. Hay crops require very little nutrients or attention compared to a crop of corn or other vegetable that grows rapidly and produces more than one crop a year. Not all crops or farms use the same technique. Fast growing vegetable crops require very rich soil. Hay crops are very slow growing and don't rob the soil of valuable nutrients. Okay, your turn.

Hey 2 cows or 2000 cows it all works the same. Size is the only difference. If I had 200 cows this section would be clean in hours versus days.

I've been doing some research and chicory is non-native. However it has some amazing uses like parasite control in animals.

@@mossyrootsfarm2263 Correct, which is a bummer but it’s still good for pollenators

Thank you, Dolly is an amazing momma that always produces nice babies.

@@mossyrootsfarm2263 ur welcome gotcha

I do believe you're correct. I did a quick Google and found similar if not the same plants. I also found out chicory is being used as a natural parasite remover in sheep. Some interesting studies about it.

@@MaryannLayton thank you. I appreciate the knowledge.

Seems like chicory is more beneficial than some purest's think.

@@waynevictory5208 so in the last 100 years we assume we can do better than what had happened millions of years prior? Dinosaurs managed to survive on nature species. The bison also survived on native ranges. If ancient cattle can survive why can't out modern technology cattle survive? Are we maybe going backwards instead of forwards? Seems like we should go back to 100 years ago when we didn't have to manage ground to allow animals to sustain themselves.

Well then someone around here figured out how to eliminate them all. Never had an issue and all the calves come back.

Even when my cows were in the woods we never had issues. I have seen foxes and coyotes in my fields before. I guess they just are not daring enough to try viel.

Sadly this is Esther's mother. I hope you guys don't have to deal with this. Part of me thinks condro played a roll but the vet said no so.

I like to be able to have a snack while I'm scowling at my neighbors hahaha.

I like free food and the neighbors pollute enough carbon for 5 houses haha. I'm not a giant planet but only a little planet nut.

Penny is the bestest. She's going to be a great pet cow

They definitely are.

Indeed they are. We had lost the first litter or two so we let her keep trying. Once we got 2 liters from 2 mommas we put a stop to that haha

Thank you, I agree and was laughing at the condo part. It seems many folks forget what we used to live like before our cushy condos.

They definitely are not Garfield haha. No lasagna here for sure.

Isn't it interesting how cats can look different but be the same weight. Some of these cats are definitely thicker but they are males. Most of mine are females. I think the females are smart enough to stick around.

Isn't it funny how we forget that sometimes. Kibble was not around in 1600 yet we still have cats.

If I didn't have Google imagines I would never know how bad my paddocks look haha. But once you see it, it's a struggle to not correct all your fencing.

I do worry about roads and such. But we have only had 1 lost to traffic in the several years we have had them. Not sure if I was lucky or my kitties are smart. Some of my neighbors a half mile away have told me about a cat that looks exactly like mine. It was coming from or heading back to my barn so I can only assume it was one of mine.

Thank you

They can be sassy

I've never heard of pulling the short hairs. Maybe that's an option if tails don't work? We just send our stuff to Texas A&M and they handle it for us.

@@lindaarnold5683 most definitely. Poor baby had to walk on her own back to momma. Such a shame haha.

They definitely like it here. They can leave and go elsewhere if they like. Many random cats have showed up and left on their own.

@@fia8079 momma has a condition that's causing her to loose muscle mass. We are doing everything we can to help momma right now. But sadly there isn't much we can do. They have green grass behind the barn that they have access to. They have as much hay as they can eat. They get grain every morning ( cows DO NOT need grain to survive) so we are doing everything we can for momma. Penny just happens to be in there as well and mommas a jerk.

I wish more folks would try this out for themselves. I think far too many times they were told they can't so they listened.

Exactly I think everyone should throw out their experience because it's only relevant to them. Like Americans bragging about being back to back world war champs. It doesn't apply to anyone else and it's irrelevant in all aspects of life.

Well my answer is multifaceted as you had many questions in your comment. Why do I think people build fences? To keep cows contained in an area I wish to keep them in. I also don't think those concerns of yours are valid in today's environment. Fences are super easy to cut and steal cows from regardless of how well I build them. No fence is impenetrable when you have a grind or bolt cutters. Even a prison fence can be broken with these tools. I'm not worried about my cows being stolen and sold as I have non standard cows so if they get sold it's for pennies on the dollar. No one wants a 1200lb bull on the open market. Nor does McDonald's want small framed animals as such. Lastly all of my animals have been genotyped and tattooed as well as registered with the appropriate registry. So if someone steals my cows I can prove it's mine by those steps I have previously stated.

Going against best know practices is how everything gets created. Look at electric cars. Before Elon musk how many electric cars were around? He went away from a best know practice. Need I go on?

Well it definitely is haha

Thank you for that prayer.

Oh that's really cool. Around me they are the last ones to be grazed. However TDF honest farming grazes his jerseys as well. So I guess it's not that uncommon now that I think about it.

@@mossyrootsfarm2263 we do virtually no barn farming of cattle here. Goats, sure but, not cows.

That's really cool! Do you still milk the cows or are they feeders?

Well it doesn't help when your chocolate lab runs mouth first into an electric fence. He definitely lost some brain cells that day. Poor guy only had a few to start with to.

Clover is in every single paddock I have. It is also in my hay fields as well. I think that is why my cows are always over conditioned because they have top notch plant species.

I think the real issue is ego honestly. Too many folks are scared to admit they don't know something. I said in the video ( or another I can't remember) that I was told grazing my hay field would destroy it. I have videos showing the opposite. If I or others blindly follow what came before us, we would all be in horse and buggies. Heck we wouldn't even be talking right now. Kinda hard to toss a stone tablet with writing to a friend several states away.

I'm not as naive as saying it's never been useful at all. But I find so many things wrong that "experienced" folks told me was correct. My hay pyramid is a great example.

You're welcome
