You really take excellent care of your animals. I know there for food, which I love. The calm of your heard is testament of the humane treatment of those beautiful animals. Speaks to the character of the rancher.
I LOVE these stories! Please feel free to tell more and the history of your area too! You have a wealth of interesting stuff. They are so authentic and real and just put the icing on the cake of everything I learn from your videos! Nobody would ever know these stories about how life really is if you didn't tell them. So thanks a bunch!
The wild cows always have great stories to them especially if you can live through them. My former neighbor always say a good fence is to keep your animals in but also keep your neighbors animals out too. I know making high tensile fence is so much nicer to work with. I have made barb, woven, and last year high tensile. High tensile is easier on your budget too. Thanks again for all your videos.
Greg'll have full grass on that dirt road yet! Lol. Thanks for all the tips and reminders. 👍Love your herd's docility. I've had my fill of the mean, wild ones.
I'm clearing and putting in corners for my first perimeter of multi-strand 180,000psi/12.5g galvanized steel fence. When that's done I'll get the good reel and some polybraid and healthy Cyclops. At that point I'll be shopping dogs and sheep while making a GJSPDog feeder and securing minerals and water tanks. I've been taking notes. If I can make it work here and I've got more land to setup and maybe have room for a few steers as it improves. The friend that turned me onto your channel is expanding his grass-finishing operation after some big setbacks to his first run at grass management. Processor dates has been the bottleneck for his products. Thanks for all the free info Greg and I'll get all of your books eventually and have learned a great deal already from your videos. I consider you a mentor in grass management. Might even make it up there for school someday.
When dealing with cattle, there is one rule to remember. You don't have to be the fastest, you just have to be faster than the vet assistant! lol Great video!
"My daddy had a few hot ones!" ROFL That's funny. I can relate to that story, unfortunately, as my daddy had a few hot ones, too. Was going to say I saw my cows nibbling on some giant weed the other day. I had to look it up and it was -- giant ragweed.
So do you suggest woven wire around your property or a5 strand high tensile electric fence. You have suggested both in your videos. I’m in the market to put up fencing and I want a one time and done. I do plan on having cows and sheep eventually. Right now I’m looking into a perimeter fence. Thanks for all your great videos and I have purchased and read a couple of your books too.

Great information Mr. Judy. Why do you sell your steers at the current market price? Seems as if these docile grass fed hot wire broke feeder steers would be a lot more valuable for a producers finishing program.
We feel like the producers that are finishing them need some room in the price of the steers to make a profit as well. If you price them to high, you don’t leave any room for the finishers to make a profit when they sell them.
putting up electric interior divisions and am going across an area with more rock than dirt is any, I've seen you cross the OBrian fence post and make it hold up the braid, how do you place them???? sheep coming on the 8th and have to get everything in and tested ASAP, the little girl took gymnastics as a kid !!!!!!!!
SAINFOIN. What are your thoughts on this for grazing? No bloat legume. It is obvious you care about what your cattle eat and you are not one to spend money foolishly but you do experiment for the benefit of the animal. My question comes from the perspective of a well diverse plant food stock. thanks.
i dont think i could out doge a mean cow any more,, so i made the choice to look for docile cows and bulls if i get any BIG animals other than sheep and turkeys that is,, my past father-in-law had some real mean cows that he put me in charge of one summer till he sold them in the fall,, i am glad those days are long over now
One year we had 6 steelers get out and they ended up about 3 miles from the house. We ended up catching them with a bullet and hauling them straight to the slaughterhouse. My neighbor did the same thing with 6 or 7 probably 300 pound hog. They got out and we had to catch them with a bullet and haul them straight to the slaughterhouse.

Thank you Greg for slowing the pace down, and talking from your heart to us. Have a blessed week🙂
One can't have an overdose of adventurous and informative videos.

Best of luck to you Wade in your future grazing endeavors! Thanks for watching.

Greg, I love your stories!!! Thank you for sharing them!!!
My pleasure!!
Thanks for the stories. Always a delight!!!
Glad you like them!
Hahaha, how many people shook their heads when the fly flew up to the mic. Sounded like it was going in my ear.
These are your best videos hands down.
"Greg let us out, cool" you had me laughing. Thanks for the vid
I laughed till I cried over the story of the young girl vet somersaulting over the fence and her nonchalance. Great story.
Well said! Good advice on perimeter fence.
Amen Tauna!!
Greg! Your cattle is more on the road that in the field!
Motion is good for the animals.
@@wadepatton2433 yes! Just joking
Yes the cows know that road pretty well by now!
All Aboard, to Greener Pastures !!
Mooooowve Along.
You’re amazing Sir
Cool story from your heavy duty rabbit corral, ROFL!
Getting ready to redo some of our fence
"My daddy had a few hot ones!" ROFL That's funny. I can relate to that story, unfortunately, as my daddy had a few hot ones, too.

I stop to watch the rabbits too! Kind of like smellin the roses but for country folk
We have been debating fencing thanks.

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher thank you for the reply sir. Makes good sense.

Thank you!
What is the NRCS animal unit (AU) rating of land in your area? Does that AU rating imply seasonal or year-around grazing? Thank you in advance.
Greg next time a fly goes by give us a heads-up. I just smacked myself in the ear😂😂😂
How are the ticks out by you guys? In SE KS they're pretty thick.
Is Greg recommending woven wire, over high tensile electric for solid perimeter fence now? Or am I overthinking what he’s saying in this video?
If you own the farm and are considering sheep and cattle, woven wire perimeter fence is an effective fence.
So who finishes out your steers. Talk about that were they going

I thought you was gonna say she was an Allstate gymnast 🤸♀️ t the end
Lol, forget the tractors, get the fence. 👍
Love that toilet paper story hahaha
If you going to buy cattle from someone make sure they are single hot wire broke. Thats what I did😉
seems like there is always 1 or 2 left in the shade when it's hot.
Well you know the old saying you have to be faster than the other guy.
We run single strand along a highway… worries me every time there In that paddock
Life is too short for that much stress and eventual negative outcome. Build a better than legal fence today if you have livestock.

How in the heck did you get a Charolais cow. I didn't think you'd bring anything else into the herd
What's the deal with Ben? He hardly talks in the videos. He used to talk alot and had his own channel.
In life it’s good to talk less and listen more sometimes
