Enjoyed the video. Kentucky Proud here.

Hi, Please check your email.

Awesome !!!!

Great episode Cal, Janell is one of my favorite. She is doing great things.

I don’t have any audio from cal on the podcast version.

Great interview with Ted Miller. I've followed him for a long time in the pages of "Graze" & before. At the end of the podcast you asked him about references/literature he could suggest. He graciously acknowledged "Graze" but he didn't even toot his own horn that he is a long time article contributor to the "advisors" section of the magazine. The latest issue's advisor topic was about legumes, just like you brought up in the podcast. As for dairy industry future....it might be time to turn the tables on BIG DAIRY. It's just ridiculous that I'm drinking milk on the TX Gulf Coast that came 550 miles from a Texas Panhandle 3000 cow dairy. I remember learning years ago that So. California dairies shipped to NM & Texas (even @ lower marketing district prices) and then NM& TX dairies would ship to points farther east, including Florida Panhandle. Everyone stayed within the mandated time limit of "milk in tanker" to move as far east and south toward milk "deficient" districts. I think revised regulations limiting time in tank would chop the ability of BIG DAIRY to use their size to overwhelm and prevent reformation of "family" dairies in the South & Southeast. Demographically we sit on a 2 edged sword. #1 Fluid milk consumption over the past couple of decades is flat to declining while the only bright spots (still dim though) are cheese and protein powder. #2 population growth in the US is greatest in the coastal South. We can address both issues by promoting more dairies in the southeast and Gulf Coast If we used "regulatory lawfare" and changed shipping time allowances then megadairies in Panhandle Texas, Red River MN & ND and western Kansas would lose market. I know that notion will rankle a lot of feathers but of all ag pursuits, dairy under 500 cow size, promotes more economic growth and stability in a county......and don't even get me started on the migrant labor issue at mega dairies😡

Thanks for this ! I recently met Ben and purchased 1/8 of a steer from him. I met him and his Japanese vehicle he mentions. I was surprised to learn he had travelled from the Qualicum Beach farmers market up to Nanaimo in it with the freezers all loaded up in the back. Impressive ! our freezer now has his grass fed and finished beef in it and we are sure enjoying it ! Thanks Ben !

How can get in touch with Marshall

Thirteen paddocks with the graze period found by strip grazing until you need a back fence. Two great take-aways. A third might be Tom has a You Tube channel.

The guest was on point with the statement that you should have experience before you start writing about it. There are a lot of people making you tube videos that have very little experience.

Great conversation. On the recommendation of excellent teachers such as Russ Wilson, Johann Zietsman, Jim Elizondo, etc. I bought a small framed, 8-in-5 package, heat adapted bull. I am just starting to see a crop of smaller, thicker, more grass-efficient calves. So far, so good. Thanks for the great content.

Berry has fiction books that give you his soul without the research style found in much nonfiction.

Good content, subscribed! :)

Cal, you are sure quiet on this one!

what an inspiration! I'm going to re-watch this episode again and again! well done

Loving hearing about Jim talk about his life!

This is a very good explanation of regenerative farming. I truly enjoyed the podcast.

Aren't sheep bad for rotational grazing ? As far as i know they pull the entire plant and its roots doesnt that damage the soil especially when it comes to water infiltration and reduce microorganisms diversity that need roots ?

Just wanted to say you have quite the radio voice and I appreciate the info I get out of these podcasts

I’m not a rancher, I’m not a farmer, but I’m so interested in this subject. I wish we could regenerate New Mexico where I live. It is sad to see the degradation of this land.

Wendell Berry is worth reading Cal. As your guest said … The Unsettling of America was pretty spot on … and not just for America! I’m familiar with farming in Australia and NZ and it resonates here as well.

As someone who owns property in southern Texas I always learn something new from listening to him. A very knowledgeable rancher.

Good Video. Another excellent speaker.

Could your guest please expand the positive aspect of grass root contraction over the long term? 44:14

Great interview with the inspiring Will Harris of White Oak Pastures.

When I’m walking I carry O’Brien step in and fiberglass posts with screw on braided wire holders in a doubled up leg of some old pants with a shoulder strap through the belt loops, a geared reel with 9 metal polybraid, and a cordless drill with a long drill bit to punch holes for the posts in very dry compacted soil that I can’t step a post into here in sw Oklahoma - because of the dry rocky soil my 3-6 earth ground rods at my speed rite solar charger isn’t always effective (8-10,000 hot but cows ignore it) so I’m needing to try adding a ground wire below my hot wire and hope that works

Anyone use those Gallagher all in one step ins?

Thanks for sharing

I also use white O’Brien post and I have a few blue. Snow is the only trouble with all white. The reel slipping is usually just a misalignment on the shaft. You can usually slide them back on with a swift hit on the side of the reel.

I’m using a hodgepodge of fence posts, mainly due to the very high shipping costs to Hawaii. I like the ring-top posts, as I can carry a lot of them at a time. I also really like the Kiwitech products. Their fiberglass post system is very flexible and configurable. You can add multiple clips to the fiber glass rods and slide them up or down as needed which I do on the fly over our very uneven terrain. The spools are lightweight and work with another clip system that is something of a Transformer widget - the Release Hook lets you hang a spool on a permanent fence, on a fiberglass tread-in post, and has this “remote” release feature that lets you undo the tag end of a polywire from the spool end across your pasture with a couple of tugs so you don’t have to walk all the way to the tag end to unhook. Hard to describe with words, but Kencove has some videos, and Kiwitech has a number of tutorials on UA-cam. I bought several geared reels from Amazon - probably cheap knockoffs of the name brand stuff. They are okay, but heavy when fully loaded with polybraid. I use these on longer runs and if there’s no permanent fence to hang them on in the middle of the pasture, I make a stand with two Tractor Supply fiberglass step in posts (with similar hooks as the O’brien posts) holding up a ringtop post for the reel to hang on. I use the second or third set of hooks to hang the reel, so it is down low to the ground without touching the ground. Think of a capital H, but with the horizontal line closer to the ground. Really quite stable at that level. I also don’t use that H reel stand for anything but holding the reel off the ground. Tension on the polybraid is maintained by other posts, so the suspended reel hangs off the the non-grazing side of the wire. If I plan things well enough, I will have extra line on the reel to close out a section when I change directions.

Hi. I just came across your channel. Great stuff. I am wanting to learn more about grazing native warm season grasses. I have recently rented a pasture with natives and some wetland areas. I am more familiar with cool season grasses and quite dryland pasture. I would like to better my grazing on this pasture. It got ahead of me last year with growth. As a result, by mid summer, the quality was in decline. Thanks for the help.

Really good stuff!

Great discussion! Thanks!

I love the Grazing grass podcast please keep making more

We're nearby Jake, in Grand Junction, working a couple acres of desert grass - thanks for sharing!

I’m over in McKinney

What a great podcast! I really liked the content. Really nice take on the issues getting into ag and especially grass based! 10/10!
