"You don't get this by eating Impossible Burgers" ... Greg is both funny and correct!

Greg, you give your cattle a new salad bar every day. Why wouldn't the cows want to kiss you? Lol.

I love what you are doing Greg! You are changing the world for the better!!!

Greg, this just popped up on my KZread from last spring. Just love these Green Grass Grazing. Growing up on a dairy farm my best of times were out in our Ohio pasture hanging with the cows 🐄 around the pond. In 1967 I was 9 years old and these memories always conjure up when watching your videos. Thank you 😊 and other farmers who’s videos breathe life back into my soul! ❤️‍🔥

Wow thank-you for your comments. Hanging out with cows eating lush green grass is soothing for the soul!!!

We are in the middle of our lambing right now and my Aunt kinda rules the roost this time of year and has always had a hard time culling ewes that need to go for what ever reason. I don't have patience for bad mother's, low milkers or high maintenance sheep but she is always giving "the benefit of a doubt" because she feels each deserves lots of chances and forgiveness. Did I also mention my Aunt had a super strong attitude as in you can't tell get anything and if she disagrees with you she gets mad which gets me mad. So since we developed a cull tag system (1 black tag) and her and I agreed that in the fall, any ewe with a black tag gets culled no questions asked, I just started black tagging any ewe I don't like and she thinks that she taged it so off the cull goes. Now we fight less and I get rid off the high maintenance ewes and lambing is getting easier every year. Should I tell her why?? The joys of running a family farm with the older generation! Thank you Greg for teaching me the importance of aggressive culling!

We had a cow, named " Black cherry " . Was the most calf-loving cow we ever had, in my years there anyways. She would be crazy over anyone's calf, and at any point in lactation or dry. We could use her to find a calf left hiding - it was awesome ! There was a while when we had some dry cows & heifers sectioned off in backside of milking cow pasture ( which was mostly a dirt side hill - continuous grazing now pains me so bad !) and if she didn't come in w the rest, we new someone had calved :) . She was such a nice cow too, so sweet. Tall, leggy holstein who didn't milk much but kept due to good conformation & very high butterfat.

Absolutely amazing!! Happy live!!🥰

Great video covering the water connector. Ty vm

"Oh, Here's one coming to drink right now," the heifer that was already there, not drinking, nosing the water, exhibited dominance over the heifer coming to drink, shifting 9ver to the other side to block her, but not drinking, just nosing the water.

That heifer going into spring is looking that good that if she came upto me for a kiss I'd pucker up too lol haha

Thank you for all the videos. I have learned so much about the land. Can you film the catching and tagging of new born calves. How is it done and do you use any kind of numbering system?

Hey bud just watched your dog video you looking for mushrooms but didn't get a chance to leave a message Let your dog's smell the mushroom your looking for and then they should start showing you after a bit Now most mushrooms have a mushroom smell so maybe any mushroom will get them hunting with you My old girl has passed on but she was good at pointing them all out for me I just let her smell what i was collecting for and she would point them all out for me Im teaching my new dog but he likes hunting deer more lol But hes learning he found us a new patch of chanterelle mushrooms..i just let him smell one that we found and he found us some My buddy is hiding mushrooms in the house and his lab is finding them its a polypore fungi by the way lol fungi have a fungi smell So good luck maybe one in your pack will pick up on it and teach the others Just be careful they don't eat them most mushrooms need to be cooked first And we just rewarded with loviñ the good job kinda thing

Wild Edibles those dogs don’t have any prey drive since they’re from guardian dog genetics so teaching those dogs to hunt anything will be extremely difficult, I think he was just going for a walk with his dogs and also trying to find some mushrooms while he’s at it.

Great golly, that was a lot of worms!

This Gentleman loves his cattle. And thata why ranchers stay in business because by the time they realize they are in love with they're cows......Happens to me

I got one of the mega flow but I can’t seem to get a regular garden hose to tighten up on it. Do you put a plumbing fitting to adapt to hose pipe Thanks for everything you do for us

Greg can you show a video of your cows doing backflips? 😂

So nice to see these vlogs. RoundUp would not help those worms. Am i right ??

Greg do you see any negative affects to early spring grazing say 6-8 inch growth. Say putting 30 head on 5 acer for a day then move.

how would u go about bring back old pasture

"You don't do this by eating Impossible Burgers."

Greg my cows are due any day and the one has twins that will be 2 in July still nursing. Will I need to separate them?

who else here wants to see a greg judy joel salatin dialogue? personally i am curios why joel overwinters in a barn with the complexity of putting in corn witch pigs will be use to turn the manure build up into compost witch will then be spread on the fields ,greg judys bale unrolling method sounds simpler,cheaper and less labor intensive,, is the weather tougher in virginia?

@swamp-yankee

I think it's a personal choice. People out winter in places that are much colder than Virginia. Salatin bales hay, and has to return fertility to his hayfields somehow. I buy my hay, but since most of the fields it comes from are in continuous hay, and are degrading I think maybe it would be ethically better to make hay in a rotation with grazing like the Amish.

Hey Greg, I read somewhere (don't remember where) that Spring grass is nothing but water and no nutrition. Is that true or is it just BS? I gotta say, your grass sure LOOKS nutritious!!!

@karinnaturestuff

4 жыл бұрын

Not Greg but I certainly can tell you that that's BS; forages are actually highest in their nutrition (particularly protein and energy) when they're vegetative, as in the spring time. Forages decline in quality as they get more mature; the more they mature, the more fibre is built up in the plant, and the less nutrients are accessible for the rumen microbes to access. I know that belief--because, believe me, I've heard it too--about those spring grasses being "nothing but water and no nutrients" is a bit of an old wives tale told by some old producers who more than likely aren't grazing in the same way as Greg is, and probably don't have the kind of cows that he has either...

I've been on some of those goose chases...cows lying about where their babies are hidden

Just a suggestion, (I think up dumb suggestions, share them anyway), I noticed some who didn't understand the bowl depression, (how can they with your cattle, can't say I've ever seen one). You could take a segment of video, take a screen shot, circle a colored line on the area to watch from a paint program, (one is included with Microsoft OS), for the bowl depression, and add the still to the video. (You would have to look at your editing software to see how to add a still for a set amount of time. This might not be necessary. I can over-explain things sometimes.

If I had cows they would be as calm, quiet and friendly as yours. I too don't like high-headed flighty Nellies that would either run for the hills as soon as look at you or breathe snot down your back pocket. I like the ones I can get within a few feet of, it doesn't matter to me if I can't touch them or get kisses from them.

Can you use the poly braid on a short term leased farm as perimeter fence? Can’t really setup a permanent fence.

If your animals are hot wire trained and very docile, polybraid is effective.

Mr. Greg, do you know of there being any South Poll cattle in South Louisiana? Down here it is popular to cross Brahman and Angus for heat and bug (mosquito) resistance. Would we need to do something similar with the South Poll?

I believe that one day there will be a new phrase that people will use to describe morbid obesity in other human beings. The phrase will be... *"Fatter than a Greg Judy Heifer".* As in... "That guy needs to go on a diet because he's fatter than a Greg Judy Heifer". Take care. sincerely, Dean O. :-I

Would you recommend not buying land that’s in a 100 year flood zone for grazing?

I heard reed canary grass does not taste as good to cows as other grasses. Any truth in that?

I like reeds canary a lot. I live in a place with a lot of wet spots, and it can do fine if it's submerged all spring, and then it can grazed in the summer. I have sheep not cattle. A lot of people don't like it, but it seems to make loads of forage that's palatable to my flock. They like fescue too.

Some varieties of RCG have alkaloids in them which cause a bitter taste for the animals, which can deter them from eating the grass. So yes, there is some truth to it.

All the cow patties are is processed green grass. Greg doesn't use any pesticide, chemicals, medicines, wormers, ect. His cattle are parasite free. He only vaccinates the calf's for one single disease they are subject to. Greg's cattle are as organic range fed as any cow can be. There is nothing in their dung that could hurt him. Greg knows exactly what he is doing. :-I
