I recognize this place I remembered the old frame laying in the pasture this is where Greg took us over to do a pasture walk with the cows at our grazing school in May of 2023. This pasture has Timeless fence posts and corners with high tensile wire. Greg does Ike have cows that are marked IH on them as well? I need to sneak over and mark some heifers with BB on them. Just kidding!😂😂😂
Greg, do you believe that it is possible to ever achieve a steady-state position where not feeding hay will be possible? The folks at Hamilton Native Outpost believe that it is possible to permanently establish a steady-state mix *(50 to 60+ species)* of native prairie warm season grasses, cool season grasses, forbs, brambles, bushes, and trees that will allow a farmer/rancher to graze ruminant livestock animals 365 days per year with no hay inputs. The only problem that I see with that scenario is the requirement to own/lease/control sufficient acreage to allow a portion of one's reestablished native prairie farm/ranch lands to be fallowed and set aside every year for the necessary controlled burns that would mimic the effects of a wildfire. Recent research dictates that without periodic controlled burns or wildfires, all prairies begin to deteriorate, and will eventually be overtaken by non-native invasive species such as Kentucky 31 tall fescue, Autumn olive, and others.

Very thankful for the rain and extended season in SW Mo. 👍🏻
Your absolutely right cattle business is a great business to be in especially grass based.
Grass based you will be able to make a living at it.
