Good video. Thanks for sharing.

I absolutely love the design!! Do you by any chance have a sketch with its exact meassurments that you could share? Also would love to see how it looks like now after a year!

Your knowledge of the wilderness is second to none

How do you run the water line, and how much does it cost to run per foot? What material do you use?

Hi, hope you're and your family are doing well. How big is your hers now, what advise for a beginner like me?

Very true That’s the hardest thing knowing proper paddock size

Pick the mans brain and then please let him talk. This was a great concept for a video with an expert. Let him do 90% of the talking.

Hi Greg my name is David Simons and I'm just getting started I need to know how to get rid of the blackberries out of the pasture

The crucial parameter is: how much forage per acre does that pasture have? Greg with his 500 years of experience just looks at it and 'feels' the value. But how can a beginner grazer estimate that value? The rest is just a simple line in a spreadscheet.

Just came across your channel about how many acres are you sitting on I am considering something like this with a 40 acre parcel

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. Thank you for using your farm as an example. Well done 👍

I have a terrible time figuring out paddock size and how much to leave behind

Greg Judy is great, however, a lot of his methods relate to the dryer climate in Missouri. And in East Texas my problem is that the grass grows too fast in recent years due to our heavier, rainfall and soil fertility. so as long as it is wet, I’m going to let them graze a little shorter, otherwise I have to mow even when I mow when I come back to that spot 45 days later, the grass is 2 foot tall

Not even close. Nice rig though

You are asking great questions, friend!

Very easy mistake to make (over grazing) we moved on to 20 acres, purchased 8 heifers very young, that was all fine when they were young but were down to 4 and strip grazing over 4 x 5 acre paddocks and I'm just hanging in there. Were in a good rain zone in Aussie but I suspect we will be having to buy some hay for winter, simply too wet and cold for the pasture to grow much, we can go a good month without sunshine which doesent help.

Can you please show us in step by step how to do this please

Cud weed is annoying How do we fix

Look after your drill and it will look after you for a long time looking at a million dollars for a new one

Squirrel!

What state are you in

I like what Greg does, not everyone can do it as efficiently. Greg’s advantage is he has a few thousand acres to graze.

How do I figure out how much area to give my 4 cows on a 9 acre rotation consisting of primarily fescue during the summer and ryegrass during the winter months

Such great info on the calculations

The spiders are your allies.

Looks like a ranch to me.

Can you give us your facts of numbers of livestock and total number of acres used in one year thank you greg

You guys are awesome. What an experience that young man is getting, fantastic.

LIES. Its a Modern rig compared to the Cable tool rigs.. Look up KEYSTONE DRILLING RIGS one glance will confirm my STATEMENT.

How tall are the outside 6x6 posts?

This was a great question & answer. I knew about rotation but not exactly how to know when to do it & still have grow back.

Definitely not the oldest operating rig in America.. This model of drilling rig in the video which is either a TH-55 or TH60 was originally manufactured by Sanderson Cyclone approximately 50 years ago. Ingersol Rand bought out cyclone and produced it, and aince then Atlas Copvo bought Ingersol Rand and has produced it. Since its original production this top head rig model has been the one all other top head drilling rig manufacturers will have either made reference to or compared their equipment to when trying to sell you their product. I own a 1980 TH60 myself and drill with it in Wyoming. To buy a brand new TH-60 today it would cost you around a million dollars. So you can understand its not just as simple as going and buying a new one. Any piece of equipment will do the job if its sized or set up for the area, and it is maintained appropriately.

Great father/son project! Kudos sir! Your son probably doesn't know how lucky he is now, but one day he will. Enjoy your time together and each other.

But it's wrong!!!

I operate a 1947 Bucyrus Erie 22w cable tool drilling rig. We drill every week with this rig to a depth of over 300 ft.

Don’t like the title

Your problem or your question at the end of the video has a simple answer. If you're not able to leave enough forage when you are done grazing a paddock because the next paddock you would move to has not regrown enough, then you have too many cattle, preg check your cows and sell the cows that should have been bred, but are open. On the other hand if you have too much grass, then as greg said it's like a savings account If you have too much grass maybe you could keep some calves after weaning, or it's always a good thing to have plenty of grass, when most other people in your area are short of grass, then you might be able to buy some younger cows, that are already bred and when it doesn't rain, sell older cows. The whole discussion falls under the heading of "adaptive grazing" You just never will be able to use a mathematic equation to determine the amount of cattle you should have, pretty much because you can't predict the weather. I will tell you this, one of the most profitable things in a cow herd you can measure is the percentage of cows bred back after calving. And that is really dependent upon the amount of nutrition that a cow receives after calving, so think about 2 cows for example one cow calves on march 1 and the other cow calves on march 22, thats heat cycle later. Most cowmen would say the calf 21 days older would weigh 45 lbs more at weaning. If the weaned calf is worth 2 bucks a pound that is 90 dollars difference, so how much grass would you want those cows to have the next time they have a calf? Then there is another item to consider too. The cattle being grazing animals, with a history of grazing since the beginning of time, how many generations is that? The fact that you should know is that they will eat tge most nutritous plant material 1st, so the more grass they have, the more particular they can be. As Greg said the grass they don't eat is not ever wasted, the grass shown in the video, is not wasted even if it goes dormant, falls to the ground, and becomes organic matter, and eventually carbon, it's not wasted! So, if you have too many cows, you dont have the option of keeping your calves past weaning, and you dont have the option of buying younger cows, and you don't have the option of keeping all the rain that falls, because more of it runs off, and you dont have the extra carbon going into your soil too

Love and miss you guys so much !!!Que bellos estan mis primitos ❤ ❤❤

I wonder do you plant rye grass?

12 Heifers. I will estimate you will have increased cattle stock of five heifers and seven bulls. You have a nice farm.

I like your stock tank skid. And second, the use of a float valve in a previous comment.

Both of my ducks turned out to be boys

Love to see the father-son collaboration

Greg you had a video back in January 2023 where you calculated the needed amount of forage for your bull mob at the new bull farm. Now grant it, this was daily requirements of stockpile in the winter but you scribbled down your calculations on paper for us viewers to see how you figured it? I stopped the video and took pictures of the TV screen with my cell phone. Greg you walked off 54 feet wide (18 steps wide) x 366 feet long = 19,764 ft An acre is 42,560 ft. your grazing calculation was 5 inches to graze for that day. Your bull mob weighed 36,900 lbs x 2.5 body weight required = 922.5 lbs (400lbs/acre available x 5 inches graze) = (2000 lbs/acre available x .46 acre = 920 lbs available. I hope this calculation is right because I'm going strictly off Greg's pics and trying to make sense of it so you have a clearer understanding of it?

Lighten up 😊

I would love to see Greg write a book with all of his best thoughts. I would like to have hard copies of Greg's vast experience that I could hand over to other learners.

Great advice. I grow hay only the sell but most buyers wait until they need hay in the winter to look for it! I am always sold out then. I even offer to store hay for a small fee if they pay for it, that way they are guaranteed quality hay that has been barn stored without having to worry or have a barn but most can't see that is a great deal for them.

good stuff, who is doing the guitar music on the end that is real good wish i new who they were

Great interview! I appreciate your teachable spirit. Thanks for sharing.
