Dr. Walker seems to be your typical clueless academic.
Hi Dear, I visited your KZread channel.Your content is very nice. But there are some problems in your channel. Your subscribers, views and videos are not going viral. You need to solve these problems. I am a KZread SEO Expert. I know how to grow a channel by doing channel perfect SEO. I will do your job. If you give me permission,then I will finish the job very carefully. Thank you Rahela Akter
The two Angus cows put out a red angus due to a recessive gene surfacing, thereby producing a red from two blacks. I had a pure bred red angus bull from two pure bred black angus. Recessive genes pop up about 25 % of the time..
Respect to all the farmers keeping food on our tables
This is exactly what I want my Farmer to look like
Lots of young folks are competing for internships with the Salatins and the Judys. Do you offer interships to share what you know? How many young folks are applying for how many positions?
Greg might be wrong about finding You Tube videos on the handling facility design he uses. A search of "Canadian cattle sorting" or "Canadian cattle sorting facilities" just brought up some miscellaneous videos for me. Any leads?
Manitoba farm service has free plans online
His kids " showed " ??? I think its important to manage an operation.......not run off down the road.....showing thinks ! Since I am a farmer I do know the value of staying home and working ! Not run the roads !
Just imagine following some of these grazers ???? Take for example. Mr Glyphosate ( Greg Judy ) Uses round bales to dump in ditches to " heal " wash outs ??? Also Imagine crawling around on the ground treating " tiny" stubbles / stumps after cutting them off so they dont grow back kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGyWssxqmpS8Z7w.html Try doing that with multi-flora rose !!!!!! Since they produce seed........new plants will continue to grow back. Its ongoing......and there are simple answers to that problem........but Mr. Glyphosate resist change. and will never adapt ! He first started out bush hogging pastures now.. since he learned you must " kill " existing trees / brush.......oh now he has the solution ........painting them ???? Please ! This is only " one " small example of how people follow the blind ! Notice Mr. Glyphosate never allows his interns to comment on the operation ????? He lives in heaven .....never a problem with calving etc !!!
Does anyone know how much carbon is locked into soil through the manure cycle.
At 2:24...... what he learned after 40 years of grazing....??? And hes there in a room telling others what he learned ? Myself.....I also grazed dairy cattle for 45 years...and I do know you dont learn in a room..... the room is the pasture with cattle present. Not advertisements making money off of people whom also should be in their fields ! Obvious these speakers didnt do very well at farming or they wouldnt be there making money off of others ! You have Joel Salatin........and Mr Glyphosate ( Greg Judy ) that spend very little time doing the work of a farmer. Instead run the country telling folks how to farm ???? Just use a little logic. View their videos and ask " yourself " questions ! The latest .... Mr Glyphosate explaining how he controls brush on his pasture lands . kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGyWssxqmpS8Z7w.html Imagine for a moment......painting every single Multi-flora rose stem ????? The next year you have that many more of which grew back from the seed bank left behind by the previous plants ???? My Glyphosates method " will not " work long term. If someone suggests an easy way to control these pesky plants.....he always has the right answer. His way and only his way ! There are much easier ways to do the same job ! But these people " plant " ideas in peoples heads that dont really work ! Get out......open your mind....and experiment !
Greg Judy paints with a brush, 1 qt of CROSSBOW on Autumn Olives, NOT glyphosate. Crossbow targets woody, brushy plants. Glyphosate targets broadleaf plants. You were misunderstanding or misrepresenting Greg Judy.
Odd, I learned many things related to dairy in a room without the cows: (at Cornell quality milk lab) aseptic milk sampling techniques, biplate or triplate striking techniques, reading the bacterial growths, (with county cooperative extension personnel) manipulation of malpresented calves, maximizing milk let-down, (with Spanish/English translators) various milking tips and techniques. Often times it is easier to introduce topics in a classroom, without loud noises, with props to demonstrate proper techniques and have a safer environment. Then, guided practice cowside! Have a blessed day!
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y You may have learned a lot over the years. But as a diary farmer I practiced what I learned and experimented every day over the 40 years I milked cows ! Dairy ( farming ) is where I made a living. Its ironic.........my boy age 29 is just starting out milking cows...... only 40 cows on 80 acres. Hes doing it on his own....except for " some " help from his parents relating to labor. No money involved ! Yes...a dairy farmer can still make it......but that will most likely end with in 5 years. The system dont want small farmers. They want to be able to pick up a " tanker " load of milk instead of making stops. So......put to work what you learned .....and make a living at it ! Greg Judy ( Mr. Glyphosate )came from Minnesota and from a dairy farm. Why oh why would he switch to stock cows ?????? Because if a milk cow grazed his pastures they would go dry !!!! Ask Mr. Glyphosate that question......see how far that goes ??
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y My question remains ???? How did you read that I misunderstood or misrepresented Mr. Glyphosate ??? In my first comment here......never even suggested using Glyphosate ?? I dont represent Mr. Glyphosate. And for sure I didnt misrepresent him !
@@user-tc3ou6sy5f you say he uses glyphosate. He uses Crossbow. You say he treats multiflora rose. He treats Autumn olive.
Good presentation. Info on weeds was important. Non synthetic fly control too often is never mentioned. Thanks for including in presentation

What are goodbooks for forage identification?
What is the man's name in the burgundy shirt, does he have a KZread channel
Allen Williams
There’s lots of videos with Allen Williams on KZread, sometimes with the Understanding Ag team. He did a good talk at Groundswell (in the U.K.) last year which is available on YT
We market to people from pasture to processing plant and we Make a profit on 80 acres of the place that has cattle the rest has horses donkeys and wife's pets they use 8 acres
I don’t know much about cattle but the Australias did the study and the low line which is just a smaller angus or shorter Angus. My thinking would be get some Lowline and cross with the Southpole. They would be small but wouldn’t the beef be better and still keep the smaller size. Just a thought but if Angus produces the best beef and the Southpole is better for the heat and bad forage wouldn’t that be a great cross?
2:31 Tell me about unintended consequences of chemicals. I killed my dog by spraying permethrin on my carpet , trying to get rid of the scabies that l got from the Goodwill Bins and had for three months, crawling under my skin.
Didn’t Einstein say that the best invention ever was a blade of grass? Well maybe it was Edison: Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favor compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.” - Thomas A. Edison
Great info!!
Joel Salatin talks about the benefits of keeping animals off the pasture in the winter because the manure doesn’t compost and fertilize, but instead leaches into the ground water or off gasses ammonia. How can I reconcile keeping animals out on winter stockpile with preserving as much of the fertility from the manure and urine as possible?
I'm no expert but in nature animals are outside all year, so i do think nature has ways of dealing with manure in winter. As I recall Joel Salatin always talk about the carbonatious diaper. Isn't grass residue and the carbon in the soil just that? So it might only hold true on badly managed pasture / soil.
@@SinandLerd Thank you for taking the time to answer 🙂 I don't think that's what Joel means because he did specifically talk about taking his cattle off pasture and putting them in the barn over winter. He also talked about the problem with waste over winter not being broken down immediately. It's cold. so the decomposers aren't as active. In the summer, I think you're correct, but Joel seemed to think winter was different.
@@thistles As far as i know the biggest reasons for putting cattle in a barn in winter are to prevent muddy pastures (depending on lots of things), loss of calves (depending on the calving season). Also Obviously everything is a little easier in a barn. Feeding Hey, Water etc. except clearing out the manure. Also the cattle get a little fatter in a barn. Back to the manure: When it's freezing outside the manure freezes as well and nothing happens to it. Then when it isn't frozen volatile compounds can be absorbed by carbon compounds on top or in the soil. At last as you mentioned the decomposers start their work on the non volatile stuff only when it's warm enough outside. Which is coincidentally the same time that the grass starts growing again. 😆 Another reason specifically to Joel is that he uses the manure as gardening soil.
Manure pile up by the barn does the same thing as far as offgassing and losing nutrients
Great job Ryan!!
I turned it off after 10 seconds of annoying shit music.
I am in Russell's area (Pa). I am 61 yrs and at retirement age planning in 4-5 yrs moving on 15 acre and putting sheep and chickens because smaller livestock. To prepare for grazing by time I get on 15 acres I have seen no clover should I spread seed and what kind of clover? I just heard that when livestock gets on land clover will come up out of seed bank.
Good insights!
Thank you for the nice comment! Please feel free to browse our other videos on regenerative agriculture and more!
Awesome. Very inspiring, inspirational and informative. An intelligent celebrity with an honest cause. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's truly heartening to hear that you found the content inspiring and informative. :)
🤯. I’ve been reading about a lot of these concepts but, I have always really struggled to fully comprehend them. Thanks Jim! I understand the concepts much better. Now, the application…. Fingers crossed! Lol
Visit or call your Local livestock market. (also known as the sale barn) Ask them what kind, color and grade bring the best price. The buyers at the markets I have visited prefer black hides. Angus or Angus cross. If you plan to sell at a sale barn, bring them what you can get the best price for.
Teddy is a great cowman!!!

Great information. So glad you talked about the West/Idaho. It is hard with most of the videos when they leave the question of arid high mountain west practices.
This was powerful.
Dr. Williams I want to know your opinion on something controversial. Some members of the regenerative community have taken anti vaccine stances during the covid 19 pandemic and I believe that those views discredit the good work being done by the community. Those views ensure that regenerative ag will stay a fringe movement. I won't name names but I'm sure you have an idea who they are. I agree that the message in this presentation that regenerative agriculture is vital to overall human health and immunity and these members also echo that message which is good but saying that consuming a regenerative diet that gives optimal gut health as a means to justify an anti vaccine view is irresponsible and misleading. Our global population is mostly urban and does not have access to regenerative raised food on that scale so the fact remains that vaccines work for airborne viral infections such as covid 19 which is still a threat to public heath and safety and the most effective way to control infections and save lives. Yes we can fix the food production model and localize it even at the urban level however it still doesn't replace the need for vaccinations because of global population size and ease of mobility on the globe. Where I live I've seen small rural communities decimated by covid 19 because they took the stance of we live in an isolated area and live in a way that builds natural immunity. This is simply not the case it only takes one member of that community to come back from a big center for a weekend at a hockey game to bring back the virus and spread it to the community because they don't have the antibodies from vaccines and their clean living clean food lifestyle didn't help one bit. Covid doesn't care what you eat or how you live it can kill you or make your life hell for a long time and the facts are that vaccines save lives and reduce the length of illness should you get it. The regenerative movement needs to continue the message of promoting the soil plant animal human health connection but also needs to recognize that public health officials are right when it comes to the efficacy of vaccinations for public health and safety.
Read Infected by Ralph La Guardia, MD.
We have since seen that the vaccine does not prevent Covid 19.
The vaccination protocol is a myth made up by man both for human and animals.. The most you should do is deworm quality grass and good feed. Do you think god didn’t make animals able live like they are made to live and need extra help from bs poison and horse crap cellular level disruption on genes to make it. Wake up you have been taught lies in your indoctrination of the ‘“education” systems.you will soon see the Awakening of how corrupt big ag is. Lies lies lies for control I pray for your revaluation of the brain washing hogwash you continue to spew. back to the basics living soil living plants living animals
Excellent 1.12.24
Great story about the Show Cow.
Show cow.....story ? The show cow is in the pasture....and the farmer managing the operation !
I’m assuming this is mainly based on cattle grazing and not sheep. We rotate on 3 acres with 5 sheep and can’t keep up with grass growth (eastern Canada). We move paddocks every 3-4 days and cut grass immediately afterwards for parasite exposure. Our animals only come back at 60 days. We’ll try stockpiling this winter though our grass hasn’t gone to seed. Does anyone have any thoughts on this for us? It worked well for us our first year. Half way thru our 2nd year now.
You can translate it to an animal unit basis. One animal unit is equal to 1,000 pounds. You should not need to trim behind your flock or herd. Try higher stock densities for short duration. Mimic how the ruminants were moved by the predators back before human intervention.
Read or listen to Gabe Brown, Greg Judy, Ray Archuleta,...
Re-listen to this video for what was missed or not understood the first time through. He covers a lot of info.
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y Thank you!
@@usaregen i grew up in the 70's and early 80's on conventional dairy farm milking 112 Holsteins. Late 90's went to 200 milking. Farm went cafo in 2005, milking 750. I read Salatin's Pastured Poultry Profits back in 2011 or 12, then Salatin's Salad Bar Beef. Next, I discovered Gabe Brown and read Dirt To Soil. Last, I found and read 3 grazing books by Greg Judy and went to a 1 day grazing class. I have been binge watching many different regen practitioners the last 2 or 3 years. 18 months ago the dairy cattle were sold and the farm got about 80 beef heifers and 170 bulls, now all but 2 are steer. Some males were shipped for harvesting and the heifers are due beginning the 23rd of May 2024 - about 20 due each week for 4 weeks. Unfortunately, the farm is feeding machinery harvested feeds, NO grazing. The late 40 and early 50 year old owners l❤️ve to drive big equipment, as do the 15 and 16 year olds. An owner's spouse, a 19 year old, a 13 year old, and I are starting to figure out portable fencing with 2 Great Pyrenees pups, 6 motly goats, a red and white Holstein steer, some ducks, geese, chickens, turkeys, and guineas. I really like your "picture" of grass grazing levels and how long it takes for regrowth/recovery to happen. That was really an eye opener for me. Thanks for educating the masses!
Hi .when are or wre you in ireland.?????
Nice presentation
Some good info, but Greg Judy was correct on unrolling hay on broomshedge in winter- cheaper than minerals.
He is right, you have to war game out each enterprise to see if it’s feasible, but in reality, as a maturing business, I enjoy being able to keep prices at the same level I was charging over 20 years ago. Those prices were considered very high back then. I am grateful that enough people saw the value, and believed in us. 20 years ago, a local farmer would sell you a 1/2 for $1.80/lb. I was $4, but grass fed, finished, and even certified organic. I was going to raise my price to $5 this year, because another Dexter ranch I watch closely had raised their price. I just can’t do it. Individual cuts, sure, I am sky high, but over all, if someone consistently spends money, the entire price structure changes. Just spend $1000 within a 12 month period, and I’ll keep it equal to the price of big food, factory ag grocery store prices. I reward loyalty, and it keeps it so that everything is basically sold before it is born or gets planted.

Change is coming. I had an audience of 3 governors, 1 US Senator and 3 members of the US House Ag Committee on my farm, and I shared the story about a popular KZread “Farmtuber” who did a whole series on pattern tiling some fields, which included at minimum partial matching funds, then had a claim at the end of year for drought damage. All but one of them knew the name of the guy, family, and the channel name, and had already seen the irony before I pointed it out to them. The thing is, these people are using social media to justify themselves, and only showing just how bass ackwards in general farming practices are…
Get chickens run them behind cattle and sheep . A day or 3 days after
If not all year, just during the hotter months when the other birds migrate south.
