- This is the proper way to receive livestock on a new farm. When unloading animals onto a new farm its always best to put them into a secure pen that allows them to calm down. Have a good water source in place and leave them alone for at least an hour or so. Just allowing them to destress from their recent hauling trip makes all the difference in the world. If you want to keep your farm profitable every year, check out my 3 grazing books that I wrote on our website: greenpasturesfa...
A good holding pen is invaluable! Takes the stress out of sorting and loading, especially with docile animals. Thank you and have a wonderful day
I grew up in north central Missouri, I really miss it.
Thanks for the video! I let my animals mow the lawn. It works great for us. I mowed a little area this summer because we were having a party, and I didn’t want people walk in the poop. 😂 The grass there looks great. It is nice and thick and the ground is covered wonderfully. I remember that video last summer. You said the cows were like hippos and a little goofy too.
Greg, I have a lot of multiflora roses in my pasture. I have cattle, how do I manage them?
Get some sheep, they will graze them till they die
Well, they have an abundance of graze out there.
Nice change of pace vid Greg.
Wish we had standing forage like that. I’ve asked every old timer I know, and we’re having the driest year in local memory.
We have our rams on our lawn right now. She's got a good setup there!
Man, I hate that Horse Nettle (never heard it called Bull Nettle, but either way.)
I'm still developing infrastructure so I I'm not running animals yet. Will clipping a pasture with Horse Nettle help the grass outpace it?
Of course everybody I ask around here is saying spray Grazon or something similar. No way on that. That stuff stays around forever.
Mowing it off at 4” high will help release the grass that is growing under it
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Great. That's what I did Monday. I was reading that keeping it mowed right after it flowers will control it in a couple seasons. So, hopefully grazing and clipping will help.
One thing I noticed over the years is that too many beginners (and "experienced" livestock owners") seem to want to "hollywood" their cattle. There is no need to whoop and holler and dance around like a bunch of Kansas City F^^&*s. (Blazing Saddles reference)
We are going to move our cattle in the next couple of weeks so this is good information.
Those cattle are definitely docile Greg, they are so relaxed. Thanks for the great video.
I wish I could borrow a cow or even a goat or sheep for a day to mow my lawn.
Great walk through on receiving cows. Nice pitch for Drew, we were at your last grazing school!
Curious that this group is for processing and includes heifers?
We’re these yearlings being culled. I know heifers can produce very good meat production.
Wow her grass is amazing! Haven’t seen anything like that since end of May.
Best wishes for her and appreciate the pointers. Thanks Greg!
All animals are for meat prodctuon
Beautiful creature comforts.
Morning from Ohio Greg👋. You got more work done in an hour than a road crew in a day😉 No harm meant to good crews everywhere😅. What a boon to have such gentled creatures cropping lawn and pasture. Are these all for meat or the heifers bred?
Great video Greg, ths doesn't have to be hard!
Perimeter, water, spark, and get some animals that have been handled! Especially nice if hot wire broke.
Catching up on some of your videos, since I have sometime now! Lol

I bought two cans of Bully Beef they were on sale and the Hereford s were saying buy me take us home you know that you want us.. so in a moment of weakness I bought the Brazilian corned beef . the Hereford brand was always in Mum's pantry she didn't call it Bully Beef but that was what her dad always called it . Grampy had been introduced to it as a young soldier in France over a hundred years ago . The name has nothing to do with bulls it is a reference to a French cooking term. I liked corned beef hash and sandwiches made with mustard and pickles on her homemade bread. I am not sure what I am going to do oh well i will let you know if I send them out into the world to fend for themselves . I wish you a good night ciao 😘💞💕💞🍀🌟🍀🖖🖖🖖❤️👍👍👍🍀🌟🍀😘💞💕💞🙋🏼♀️
So exciting to see her getting cattle. What a beautiful set up. I was hoping you would show the progress on the hippopotamus farm.. thanks
another episode worth watching any update on the worm count?
👍👍👍
“Just let the cows mow that lawn”. 😁
👍💵
Looks like a lot of sage grass.
Nope, none. That is all over mature fescue that grew from the spring flush. Lots of good Carbon to trample on the ground.
Greg, you should be more cognizant of where your mouth is in relation to the camera mic. At times you're talking right into the the mic which comes across really loud. Paying a little more attention to what you're doing while filming could make your videos so much better than they are.
We’re lucky he takes time out of his day for this. You should be more cognizant of this.
@@scotthambrick2293 Why? What do you know of my cognizance levels?
I will see if I can do better. I also have people say, I can’t hear you, speak up!!!!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thank you. 👍I'm happy to see that you can accept constructive criticism for what it is.
As to people saying they can't hear you, modern cameras have volume limiters in them. When it detects a loud noise it automatically limits the volume of the video its recording. Speaking directly into the mic or wind blowing into the mic can cause the volume limiter to activate as well. Until the camera detects that the volume has returned to a normal level it will continue to limit that volume... That's probably why some say they can't hear you or other people in your video.
I just did a video with one of our sheep buyer customers. Tell me how I did, I tried to keep the camera at a distance from my mouth.
awesome ❤️# but if the metal fence current is AC current then it is extreme cruelty with animals since they don't understand the high voltage & get extremely dangerous electric shock #
They only touch it for 1/2 second, just like we accidentally do sometimes. They don’t touch it any more after that
Who you been listening to? Thomas Edison?
Less cruel than speeding trucks they don't understand if they got out. Extreme cruelty would be making them watch old jerry springer episodes.
