4 Ways to Raise Healthy Cattle on a Regenerative Farm
Stephen of Walnut Grove Brass Family Farm shares 4 techniques he uses to raise healthy grass-fed grass-finished cattle on his regenerative farm. He describes how he protects the cattle from insects, provides access to minerals, supplies fresh water, and handles them humanely. As with the previous episode (ua-cam.com/video/JP0DrrSrRsk/v-deo.html), he shows us how his focus on soil health and animal health allow him to humanely raise cattle and create healthy food for his customers.

Mistake number one start a farm and think the next generation is going to take it over what's the biggest mistake in farming you do it because that's what you want to do don't do it because you think the next generation of the generation after that is going to want to do it let them figure out what they want to do and move on and then you get all pissed off because their dreams not your dream
Thank you Bro and Sister for sharing valuable information. I like to start integrated farming without chicken, 🐑 and fish 🐟. For natural fertilizer, have plan to rise native breed cows. For diversification, plan to cultivate vegetables, flowers, seasonal fruits , bamboo and trees for furniture wood. Please share your thoughts and also is running restaurant in vehicle good idea? Please suggest some insights about agri related small business ( less capital) . Thank you ❤
Can you give more facts please? How many animals running, size and quantity of paddocks, animal breed etc. that would be great. Thanks
He's definitely improving, but he needs to try out tighter paddocks, more density and faster moves. Perhaps moving 2-3 times per day would show more improvement faster. Hopefully they are feeding hay where it was cut.
Excelent and well done Stephen, I wonder if you have thought in getting some hybrid Chestnuts to improve the cows diet, besides having protein they are rich in good fats and enhance the flavour of meat. Keep on trucking, All the BEST. Greetings from PERÚ.
What about vaccination? Are you vaccinating your cattle?
very interesting , i thought they would have had some clover in with the grass , where is his nitrogen input or is it big enough not to need it and the cow muck is enough , does he harrow the pasture to spread out the cow pats and they can harbor worms that will infect young stock , but the cattle look in great health , just would have been good to get a bit more of that sort of stuff , i am going to plant a new pasture this autumn with a mix of grasses and clover for regeneration , I am in the UK England and we are getting Government subsidies' to do these things , also what i am planting is for silage crop as the field has no water supply so cannot be grazed , if it works I shall plant another field the next year too , i am worried about the weeds that may creep in to the crop and as i do not think herbicides can be used and of course that is pointless as it will kill the clover which is one of the main reasons of doing it to fix the Nitrogen , If any one has any advice please reply
Honestly, your grass doesn't look all that thick. I see a lot of dirt showing through.
Firstdone in africa. Successfully.
CHEERS FROM ITALY! KEEP GOING
This is all great as long as you don't have land payments.
Great story! Thanks for sharing!
By the last couple of minutes of the video I presume you're saying this model can't be profitable, am I correct? How feasible would it be for someone who doesn't own a restaurant and would have to live off of the profits made through agriculture to run a vegan farm such as yours? Me and my partner have been considering farming as a professional activity for our future but we're wondering wether veganism would be an impediment. Cheers
Notice they have great coats and aren't covered in piss shit and mud.
Absolute BS...
Propane torch weeding?
Brother I will be a fire of change If you could give me a regenerative agriculture book or a couple. I need to know how to build soil, make compost, and all the secrets. I need small to medium scale. I want to dedicate my life to growing food and making natural medicine. To generate all my own inputs and make a closed loop.
Feel free to reach out to Stephen directly. You can find links to his website and Facebook page in the show notes.
Good job. Keep up the good work.
Not vegan
Just wondering what ratio you mix the fly repellent. An excellent video
You can reach out directly to Stephen or the company that makes the product. A web link to Stephen's is in the show notes. He might be able to provide some guidance.
This is an amazing setup for a large herd. Wonder how these ideas could be adapted for just a few cattle on smaller acreage.
I'm not sure. That's a question Stephen may be able to answer. His website link is in the show notes. You might also try asking that question in a Facebook group dedicated to regenerative grazing.
What do ya do about water for the cows?
Stephen talks about that in detail in this follow-up video: ua-cam.com/video/7QqShbd44aE/v-deo.html
Dr. Elaine Ingham (on UA-cam): learn how to make compost, compost teas and use sprays to accelerate the regeneration of heavily damaged areas. Also used as a foliar spray to kick start the recovery of yesterday's paddock. Cheap, easy, in both time and money.
Great advice. Thanks for sharing.
Eye opening video. Really inspiring.
Glad you think so!
That was a very interesting video, and definitely food for thought, with no pun intended, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wisdom.
Great video. You explain things well. Wish all farmers had your mindset.
I hope that by sharing stories like this, more farmers will adopt this mindset and farming practices. Thanks for watching the video and your comment.
I love the fact he chose the Red Devon Cattle which is finally recovering on the livestock conservancy list. Unfortunately the Milking Devon is still on the critical list.
Would love to see this go to native only grasses
Love what this rancher has done for his land and his cattle in his care. I was curious about the kinds of grasses that he use on his pasture. When he had dug it up it felt like the roots of those grasses were short in general and given that he has not tilled or used chemicals on it for 10 years I was a bit surprised, maybe it was an odd patch. The earthworms were a great sign of soil improvement. Would love to know if he uses locally native prairie grass species and if he notices a difference in quality of soil health and cattle health when using those grasses versus non local ones.
To get answers to your questions it would be best to reach out to Stephen directly through his facebook page. I created the video about his ranch but don't have the answers to your questions. Here's the link to his facebook page: facebook.com/WalnutGroveBrassFamilyFarm.
Really interesting. I wonder if cattle raised this way grow faster, because they are always on newer grass, and they get to forage a bit in the winter.
I believe that is the case, but it may also depend on the nutrient density and macronutrient makeup of the grasses. You can reach out to Stephen directly and ask if you really want an answer. His website link is in the show notes. Thanks for watching and for the great question.
I just picked up an order there yesterday, and had burgers today! Thank you Stephen, they were amazing! I'm happy to support this, it's better for the soil and all the things that live there (insects, nematodes, birds, frogs, etc.), and it's so much healthier for us. Next time I'll buy a 1/4 or 1/2 cow.
Stephen likely won't see this message so you may want to leave him a note on his facebook page: facebook.com/WalnutGroveBrassFamilyFarm. I created the video about Stephen's ranch and therefore see all of these comments but he does not. I think he'd love to hear your feedback.
Would you tell us more about your Devon cattle and how they fit in with regenerative grass farming.
Your best bet is to reach out to Stephen on his facebook page. You may be able to get an answer there: facebook.com/WalnutGroveBrassFamilyFarm.
It would be good to know what the best farming strategy from among these examples was found to be. 😊
I'd encourage you to ask Todd directly. You can find his website and social media links in the show notes. Thanks for watching and for the great question.
Love it I use electric fence and great post called timeless
How do you water in each area? And do the cows need salt? We are just starting with four head (2 cows and 2 yearlings)in Texas and trying to learn as much as we can!
Hi Sarah. Stephen talks about those things in more detail in this video: ua-cam.com/video/7QqShbd44aE/v-deo.html.
@@RegenerativeJourney thank you so much!
What brand of seeds did you use to grow for winter feed?
Stephen worked with the Green Cover Seed company. They recommended specific seed mixes. I'm sure they'd give you specific recommendations based on your goals and local farming conditions. Here's their website: greencover.com/. Give them a call.

So the Eggs are used as food, are they rescued animals? are the animals eaten?, if the flesh and or secretions of the animals are used then they are obviously not ‘’Vegan’’ (Chefs) but plant based! 🌻🌎✊🏽
‘’Regenerative’’ is a term used by animal agriculture to greenwash their use & murder of animals, the ‘’Regenerative Journey’’ account has videos of Ranching Animals that they say improves the Soil, but Soil does fine without Cows etc. Vegan food growing should be Permaculture and Forest Gardens, which is true regeneration and sustainable. 🌻🌎✊🏽
Man, that into got my heart warming ❤ Wish your family plenty of health and rain just when you need it the most
Great video !
Which state is this?
Idaho
I suspect that some of our Pre ww2 ancestors probably farmed somewhat like this.
Not exactly. They didn't have electric fencing to easily move the cows every day. That has made a huge difference in managing the herds.
They may not have moved them as often,or had the paddocks as tight. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if Pre WW2 they practiced some form of rotational grazing.@@wendyscott8425
Closer to pre-industrial revolution. It isn't far off traditional methods of livestock management in England and Germany.
You have a very nice system for your cattle and they are beautiful.
Reminds me of Greg Judy
lol methane is actually 86 times worse in 20 years (100 times worse in 10 years) and about 25 to 35 times worse (depending on who funded the studies ofc lol) in 100 years compare to co2
Thumbs down, not bc you’re on the mark with soil regeneration, but speaking on the “climate change “ as it’s a real crisis is nonsense! It’s a hoax, a control movement, etc… plenty research to debunk that nonsense.
