Awesome video! Enjoy learning from you.
Thanks for watching!
Clipping is something I definitely don’t want to spend the time, fuel consumption, or equipment on. What’s the point of grazing if we have to run machinery over it besides. Nice video!
How’s video quality? We got a new camera trying to get it dialed in.
Photo quality is fine.
Thank You!
Looks great!
Good stuff. Thanks.
I agree with the no clipping and don't worry about "weeds" thanks Russ nice to have someone backup my thoughts
Thanks for stopping by!
I let them go because I thought that they would not spread. Four years ago, I had some. Now I have 10 acres of them. I don’t think it’s a good idea to let them go to seed.
No matter what the plants are called they still make oxygen and many are edible.
Run Sheep behind the Cattle to control forage the Cattle find unpalatable. Consider installing a Screech Owl nest box. Owls eat rodents which host ticks.
Thanks for the video! I feel like I need to clip part of my newer pastures because they are getting overrun with box elder trees. What do you think about trees taking over? My livestock (sheep and cattle)do eat them a little bit, but I think I need some goats to put the hurt on them. I just don’t want goats anymore.
I never clip my pastures but it should be a tool in the tool box if absolutely necessary. If your going to clip woody species I think it should be done on the last graze of the season. Thanks for watching!
Box elder grows fast and has wind dispersed seed so it can take over a pasture or field if not managed. It's in the maple genus and livestock do graze it. I have watched a neighboring field being completely over run by it over just 15 years
@@quarrybrookfarms8156 it only has been 2 years and the box elder trees close to the seed producing trees it is super thick. The trees are very close to each other about 1-2 feet apart.
@marvinbaier3627 you have an opportunity to create a savanna pasture and or windbreaks and shade. Thin and prune and let the livestock eat what you cut down then manage the trees you keep
@@quarrybrookfarms8156 these trees are from a fence line/wind break. It’s really awesome to have shade and windbreaks.
Thanks for the info. I learned something about bull thistles today.
That's what it is all about sharing with others. Have a great day!
I've got about 25 acres that is overgrown with weeds, bushes and small trees after over two years of neglect. I've started burning some of it and brush hogging some. I noticed that weeds immediately grew up where I mowed (lots of goat weed) because the ground was left more bare from burning than mowing. When is the best time of year to burn and mow to restore the land to pasture? And should I follow up with seeding with grass seed or I was thinking about rolling out hay and letting cattle distribute the seeds from the hay?
I call it morning glory and it and the milk weed were the only things that were green in my brome pasture last year from June-August during a drought. My cattle will eat the heads off of Canadian thistles but not musk or bull thistles.
Do your cattle eat milkweed because in my class of about 40 students in college none of their cattle ate it?
@@Levi-tm4gl i believe milkweed is noxious to cattle, but "ok" for monarch butterflies
Our livestock eat everything! If I want milkweed I have to fence it off. Kv2 is right it is toxic. But this is my theory on toxic plants. If it’s diluted in there ration it can be beneficial. If we go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of medicine and take a pill it’s medicine if we take the whole bottle it poison. Do you follow me on Facebook? I’ll post a picture of what they do to milkweed.
@@Marilou-g5t I'll open up a new paddock with lot's of options to choose from and they almost search out the milkweed. So, the cattle don't seem to thinks it's noxious/toxic and I've never seen them have any negative symptoms from eating it.
@@RussWilson My cattle seem to search out milkweed. I've never had to force them to eat it and they've never had negative symptoms from eating it. I've found that milkweed has remarkable grazing tolerance. It can start producing a seed "sack" within a few days after grazing.
I don't have facebook and today was the first time I've seen one of your videos.
Good video Russ. Great to see you and Walker again. We have been dry south of you, pastures are a little weak this summer.
Glad to hear you have been busy. Be safe out there, farmer rod
