Great advice! I would also add that you can further improve pasture with pastured poultry (eggs or meat, both work). The areas I put the chickens on grow back DARK green and thick.

I spin a little red clover on everything new about this time of year when we get some snow melt and frost will work it in

Excellent advice… It works on a small scale and a large scale. You were familiar with my operation and we had great grass for our cattle. Keep them moving.

One day I'll get going like you 🌼

When?

I'm getting these benefits from my neighbors goats 😁.. Need to finish fencing before I get anymore sheep

Thxx for insights. I am still testing. But I call it 'Regenerative Feeding Station.' It adds that fertility to soil that you mentioned.

ancient wisdom. here's my conundrum... i just moved to a 7 acre farm that has an 8 year alfalfa stand. rotated for 5 months this past year. plan to spread. but i have a feeling alot of what was there has been wiped out by cultivation through the years. might just go out with a walking broadcaster to seed over the bare spots to see what happens...

Hmmm. From what I understand alfalfa consumes a lot of water as well. Have you checked the soil nutrient levels? Acidic, alkaline, NPK etc? Maybe if you got those levels that's close to optimal as you can the alfalfa might flourish enough to not have to seed? It's an idea.

Wow! Those are beautiful fields after!!!!

Sure hope we have a better year with rain

Beautiful ❤️ ...love the scripture reference as well!

We plant Bermuda grass in between our rows of solar panels. Every morning, we spray some very diluted salt water on the patches we would release our sheep. Even without fencing, they never stray from those patches that we sprayed. Are sheep so addicted to salty stuffs? 😅

3 year's of Mulching with the lawnmower really helped my fields

I live in Anderson & started raising Sheep a year ago, I still got a lot to learn specially with deworming them. My Goats are a lot easier to take care of. Now am confused which pasture seeds I need to use? Which one worked the best for you? Thanks for all your video’s. You are so sweet to share them.

Lovely stuff

Beautiful ❤

I will live Vancouver, Canada if i found a large farm to lease. As i grew up in Kurdish village in Central Anatolia Turkey, i grew up with sheeps, goats and cattle. Our villigers didn't know anything about rotating grazing but they uzed south and east of villige for one year growing wheat and other crops and graze the north and south side of village for grazing and each year change but we never done this as all villigers used all land as same routines over and over. From here i learned a lot. If could find a Farm and animals lover wife, i would go back to my village buy a 1000 thousand baby goats and lamb from 3 month just cut of milk and graze all summer for 6 months and sell in fall and back to Vancouver for winter and do it over and over until build a big operation. We never feed animals once left village to highland for grazing from April till November.

Spread the bale of hay out over a wider area to get better distribution on urine and feces on the pasture.

Thank you for the tip.

Waooo what a beautiful blue eyes and sunshine look you have. 👏👌👍

Does this still apply in sandy and rocky areas too? Or like you said give hay?

that is nice for your animals

My grandpa has a couple of sheep (2 or 3 and their lambs plus an anually visitor) and has a field of about 1 acre (about the size of a soccer field) thats divided in 3 sectons (permanent fencing with gates) and he usually has all 3 open as they go to all 3 fields throughout the day usually. But sometimes he closes one of so he can give the grasses a bit of a rest to grow or give a fertiliser treatment or when he wants them close to the home when we expect lambs to arrive. But then we had this moma, a Zwarte Bles ewe, pulled like 18 lambs in 5 years on us, could by her 4/5th lambing carry enough milk to serve 3 lambs and make em big. But when she wanted to be alone she just jumped that fence like a jumping horse... ever had sheep jumping the fences?

and a yearly salt lick ❤

Thank you sis

And there are places sheep would starve where cattle thrive. To take full advantage of a pasture yet not abuse it, Sheep, goats, cattle, and hogs in rotation was great. Add poultry and it maybe gets out of hand. Cattle like coarse grasses like fescue and some brush. Goats like brush and some forbs/weeds and, in moderation, will eat toxic weeds. Sheep like fine bladed grass and forbs. Be blessed, child.

We didn't come to hear about cattle, so get out of your feelings. That starve comment really bothered you huh??

Awesome, great work!

Definitely plant. Sheep eat down past the basal meristem of the grasses.

👍

How about when a land have more than two feet of weed all around the property?

Odd question. If you were to pick up/comb out the undercoat they blow in the spring, could it be spun or felted?

I have dirt. Literally dirt that is like talcum powder. Weeds won't grow. Oh and mud, lots of mud.

How do you know if your pasture is good for cattle too?

Yes without animals in your pasture it won’t get better…

Look into silvopasture dude. And plants need nitrogen, just not in huge piles; evenly distributed like she discussed.
