Taking a stroll in the ram pasture on September 28
The picture that I choose is from September 2020. This is how the pasture started out after it was row crop/vegetable garden for many years. I seeded the pasture in spring 2020. This area is our ram pasture when we don’t have the flerd together. Where we bale graze and fed hay makes a big difference on the forage quality and quantity too. I can’t wait for the rest of the farm to look like this. I looked backed where we first started, and you wouldn’t even recognize the area besides where the pasture was super short in the video. It always been really hard to grow any forage up there, but I’m hoping to change it.

Our strong electric fencer was out of commission so we had to put the rams inside the cattle panels because they wanted to see the ewes. We have been rotational grazing this pasture since 2020.

This area has been cover crops since fall 2021. Most of the cover crops has been reseeding itself less every year. It’s to the point where it is time to plant perennial pasture in it. I did plant red clover in here when I planted the cover crops, and that has been really established itself though.

According to research, by allowing the plants to form seed they produce a lot of root exudates of the type that creates humus. Humus can last for decades as opposed to soil organic matter from plant residues which may last only a few years. It will be interesting if you experience improved plant performance in this area in the future.
@@michaelwooding291 thanks for the information and watching!
Good video Thanks 😁
@@sharp1977 thanks for the comment!
Good video bud!
@@steveporteroutdoorsohio4739 I’m glad you enjoy the video!
Looks great! Animals and forage look great. What town are you near? What state.
We are about half hour away from Rockford, IL as far as a bigger city.
Good video bud! Just subscribed!
@@steveporteroutdoorsohio4739 Thanks!
Good luck, if you’re not experimenting you are not learning, look forward to an update, greetings from Tasmania
@@FrankFerter-p2x Thanks!

Where are you located?

Mature cool season grasses trample really well. I've even seen chickens do a good job trampling cool season grasses.
Liking the color on the lambs
Thanks!
Stay cool Marvin

When did you seed your pastures?
The cover crops that you seen in the video was April 14. We had some cold weather for awhile so nothing really grew. I haven’t been up the in a few weeks but the weather has gotten gorgeous out with timely rains.
It is a learning process for sure but I really enjoy it too. Have a happy regeneration journey too!
Love your videos. Keep them coming. Looks like you are at a similar stage as me in your pasture regeneration.
Good luck with your auction
Thanks!
Just saw your south poles on Greg Judy’s page. We’re outside of cherry valley!
Awesome! We are by Leaf River so he wanted a bigger city close to us.
I figured you weren’t actually in Rockford haha. Beautiful girls!
@@sjfarmkirklandllc22 thanks!
All kinds of feed. New here. Many blessings.
What part of the country is this/what did you say the name of your farm is?
We live Northwest Illinois and Marvel Ridge Farms.
Looks like a mud pit on a drilling rig?
What are you planting?
I was planting into standing cereal rye and very little of hairy vetch that was going to be pasture last year but instead it got postponed a year. So I planted this cover crop last week of August and it was a mix of oats, spring and winter peas, buckwheat, crimson clover, hairy vetch. I should take a walk through it with a video now. I’m going to put fence up this year and hopefully graze it. Thanks for watching.
I have a 400 here and several others in Northwest Missouri
I really enjoy the antique tractors. My first tractor I ever drove was an H raking hay.
@@marvinbaier3627 We have 6 old Farmalls we hay and feed with. My first drive was an 1800 Oliver,first ride was VAC Case,first time plowing by myself was Deere 4020,first time round baling was with a 1086 IH
Love the 450. I had one I used on a Curl potato harvester. I picked up onions with it back in the 90s. Sold it to an upstart vineyard in California.
