- Husband and wife ranchers Emry Birdwell and Deborah Clark have been going against the grain of North Texas ranching for decades - hiding their ability to raise many, many more cattle per acre than any of their neighbors. They are a fiery couple, prone to snips as they get their field work done - they are in their 60s, and run the 14,000 acre place on their own, sometimes with one extra hand.
Filmed in Henrietta, Texas
There better be a follow up with the new family taking the reins!!!
I wanna see how that works out and where they go with it. What an amazing opportunity!
Inspiring story ❤
ReGen grazing aside, that was a phenomenal human documentary. Coupleship, family, work ethic, all of it. Bravo!
ReGen Ag is a much better marketing moniker. Very cool.
@@tammyhavlik1015 'Regenerative" is a mouthful. people like catchy nicknames. I usually capitalize the AG too.
@@Mis-AdventureCH And saying 'Regenerative Agriculture' is even worse. As far as marketing, 'Big Ag' is outta the gate and halfway around the track before anyone can say that.
@@tammyhavlik1015 Short and sweet. Everything gets condensed. Bohemian > Boho (which I hate, but there it is). Numerous examples.
They should offer workshops! It would definitely be an experience! I admire this couple!
This should be substituted for the evening news. Great job and hope the best for the two of them.
This doesn't get politicians votes 😢
Agreed

All of the Regenerative Farming videos by Roots So Deep that I've watched so far have left me feeling better than I did at the start. If you ask me, that's a hell of a good thing.
It's therapeutic
What, me worry? 😉
Those two changed my view of ranchers, thanks.
I know nothing about farming. This makes me so excited for our country! This is where our higher education needs to be focused on, how to improve this LAND WE LOVE!!!! What a wonderful story about a fantastic couple.
What a great couple, their relationship is truly wholesome with so much love and mutual respect. Really inspiring video.
Really enjoyed watching this couple make a huge difference! Glad there may be a family who will pick up their dream for the future! ❤
Hell yeah. This was awesome… I don’t get how you can literally SEE the change for the better, and they don’t have other ranchers beating on their door… thank you for this.
Because the others refuse to admit what their eyes see. They can't admit the traditional ways aren't as effective, they have bankers and gov't workers demeaning refusing to support change.
Oh wow. That emotion caught me off guard. How touching. I love the ranching community. I was very moved by the appreciation and love these folks have for their friend, and for their farm. I am a new widow as of 2022. We only have 27 acres in Northeast Oklahoma, but I have been purposefully allowing the land to rest since I don't understand regenerative farming, but want to. I loved watching the gentleman walk through the pasture and identify the diversity. I understand that I need to have some animals on my land to promote the diversity, and am hoping to learn more from your videos.
What an awesome story and an awesome way of working with the land and showing how productive doing things the right way can be.
Beautiful couple . It takes a very STRONG relationship to work together as you do. My Hubby & I want to be just like you both. We run a very small cattle ranch in Florida together and each day grow to love each other more(of course we have our moments too) ! SO INSPIRATIONAL!!
I thank YHWH for people like them,,, great job folks!
Id love to let this man know its ok to feel those emotions and express them. So glad you were able to capture such a great moment.
Glad these two found one another!
Id move my family down there yesterday!
Desperately want to see a revisit with the new family.
This was amazing
The definition of great Americans.
Great video. They were emotional because that man means the world to them. 😊
Love what you do on your ranch vision, spirit and hard work. Regards from Ireland
A great video! Very educational. We need more of this in America. I’d be very interested in continuing this tradition for them.
Amazing couple and story
This was absolutely incredible, and I'm really glad you filmed this, and really glad I watched it. Everything about this was beautiful.
Wonderful little doc, thank you for making it.
I love this series .. so much knowledge. Thank you ❤❤
Thank you for helping spread the word!
I think these guys are having FUN moving cattle around 😊😊😊😊
OMG! I laughed, I cried. If I had seen this when I was 40 yrs younger, I would have called immediately to begin interning with intent to take over when they retire. Wishing them the best of luck to find who they're looking for.
Absolute wonderful video
Can’t help but think that the title might scare people off with all the negativity surrounding the the carbon footprint and how cows are the enemy. When, unless you’re blind you can see that cows are the unsung hero’s here!
God bless that couple for standing the test of time!! Real Americans WORK!! Whether they feel like it or not!
Real PEOPLE work.
Thank you for sharing your story!
These 2 people are awesome. I really enjoyed this video.
What a magnificent operation. The size of this business is staggering. And it's all done with deep and growing respect for how Nature operations. Listen up, dear Vegans. To raise all that grain and legumes affects the land as well. Look into it.
Indeed vegans need to understand how nature works. And that plant agriculture is the biggest detriment to the landscape. And the only reason that they think meat or animals products are a bigger impact, is because they live in confinement away from healthy pasture and their feed has to be produced in giant monocultures, that decimate all other species. their manarue, unhealthy and gassy and not icorparate back in to nature in a helathy way, like it would be on pasture. An untilled permanent pasture is a living ecosystem giving life to so much more then just the herd or a single specie of hybrid grass. This is the most important argument against these people. People that claim to love animals and nature should understand it first..
@@regiodeurse6513 I've heard it said that God never tried to farm without animals. Animals are present in all thriving natural environments that I know of. Only man would have it otherwise.
@@barbaraforgoodness I agree. animals, herds belong on our landscape
@@barbaraforgoodness story of kain and abel also comes to mind. Wasn't it kain who tended vegetables and abel who herded animals?
@@regiodeurse6513 And they were both wrong. One was tilling the land to death to grow plants, and the other was overgrazing with the sheep.
This couple's personality and outlook is awesome! First look at this channel and it's now a new favorite, thank you!!
I love this couple. What an inspiration.
This is awesome. Hopefully folks can see the benefits of soil and wildlife ecosystems and make changes that benefit everyone. There are problem areas all over the earth. Look at America. Overgrazing, cheat grass problems, flooding, not allowing a natural burn cycle to exist out west. All these challenges can be approached with mindsets of innovators like these👌
My dream work, I have been trying to teach ranchers and ejidatarios in the North-East of México the Holostic way to work cattle, it is hard. People doesnt care or doesnt want to change. Keep doing what you are doing over there its look just great.
Stubborn, poor education there's many factors education is the biggest and every single red state has been shitting on education for years and it shows they are the bottom in education tops in poverty and crime
I find this way of ranching amazing. This is for our children and the future. Thank you.
I would love a workshop, an internship, I see my self being immersed in this endeavour of yours, if there is such an opportunity. I love your work! I love your videos!
I just learned more about teamwork and a healthy and beautiful marriage as about holistic management
Your endeavors are very important and praiseworthy. Your neighbors will soon see the obvious, no doubt.
I feel certain that Emory's back injury will be helped, (and repaired) if you would contact a Functional Neurologist. It is health care based on the entire body. That includes the nerve system. As you probably know, your body functions work as a unit. The unit is what should be treated. I hope you will consider the suggestion.
I don't stand to gain by sharing this with you. I'm 84. My doctor is a Functional Neurologist. The only doctor I've had since I was 45. No health problems anymore, no toxins, no afflictions.
I hope the best for you and your wonderful ranch. 😊
Marvelous stuff! I love these crusty, salt-of-the-earth people who actually know what they are doing, and the provide the quality output that the world needs. There is nothing fake here. And the filmmaker deserves credit for putting together this short documentary. This can be inspiring to all sorts of people, hopefully even some ranchers.
We will carry it on thankyou for teach us. 🙏 respect love and blessings
This story really touched my wife and I. Especially because I have parents their same ages with a ton of ranch and farm animal responsibilities. Trying to figure it out. ❤
Emry and Deborah are an awesome pair.
Thanks for putting those videos together
I absolutely love the value of the friendship of their neighbor, that just shows the impact that you can have by being a good neighbor, as the Lord asks of us.
They are great, thank you.
Love them, love their process!
"That'd be Austin people."
That earned a click on the "like" button.
Well done, amazing from the topic to the storytelling in general, this is all dependent on human health. If you want to make any more of these films I can take you to my county towns in Australia with some similar great stories, our very own little food bowl of the world, and culture.
One of my favorite videos. These folks are awesome.
Humour OMG I love IT, pure Gold 🥇 💯 great folk's Much Respect from Matt Australia 🌏🦘.
Love sweet love ❤️
Thanks for sharing your regenerative farming journey!
Thank you for great video
They are adorable and magnificent - heroes for the environment! Biodiversity farming and grazing is a big movement in Australia as well. I’m hoping in the future they will work out a way to finish their cattle on the ranch and not ship them off to commercial animal farms. Please please someone come along and work with these gems!
Love the story.That's the way I was taught cattle.
Just a brilliant presentation ... priceless !!!
I love this.watched it like 5 times
this is the essence of what a couple should be
I wish I could go back to Texas and learn from this couple. I would do it in a heartbeat.
What a fabulous job these wonderful herdsmen doing in land repair. And it is so generous they share their learning and humbly admitting the hard knocks it takes to change sometimes... but I was so sad seeing the wear and tear on the husband from his 'attack the job' way of working then add the price and miserably slow healing of "standard of care". Do you see the connection and failure in the nutrient levels of American foods and modern healthcare "industry" making human care similar to CAFOs?seriously! I am trying to wake up farmers, ranchers and RVers to Homeopathic medicine and proper hydration with good amounts of mineralized sea salt (even ancient bed mined sea salt). Weston -Price food practices and "Practical Homeopathy" would bring quality of life and endurance folks wish for. I just turned 70 and feel better than I did in my 40's! Suddenly getting older was not fearful! No meds and DR visits for us retirees! Well if you get hit by a bus you will still hope for great hospitals... lol
Utterly🐄 fascinating!
This is beautiful
I just love these two. I wish I could com work for y'all and take over this farm.💘
Great work guys !
Excellent!
Wonderful people, great ideas, great story.....true Americans, that is what makes me love America....the "real people" and not those city rats.
Im hoping you're simply being hyperbolic to make a joke. I cant imagine it to be healthy carrying around the weight of that much hatred daily.
None of us had a choice on where we're born or who we're born too.
I grew up in a tiny town with a graduating class a little over 100 and still witnessed shitty people. Its all about perspective
This is great encouragement for the proper human diet. Carnivore lifestyle can be truly sustainable for the entire planet.
Deborah is awesome!
Love this type of farming. I hope future generations can learn and we can heal the earth.
Ma'am you don't have to look NO FURTHER!!! YOU GOT ME!!! I WOULD LIVE THIS DREAM IN A HEART BEAT!!!! & LOVE IT ❤️ 😍 💖
What a power couple. It’s as if they’re a marriage was a product of good holistic management. Takes a good man to keep the love and respect of a woman like that.
Beautiful film, I’d love to work for them and learn what they do.
Wonderfully done .
As a consumer, I draw the line at grass raised and grass finished and don't consider grain finish to be fit for human consumption. I don't feel that people should continue to prop up failing industries when there are alternatives that are environmentally friendly. I don't believe in tossing people over, but change should be supportive.
It's about the grassland.. not your considerations..
“Wheat finished” is also cattle that’s grazing in wheat fields. They’ll grow a field and then put a herd in it to graze. I’ve seen that practice in the panhandle area.
As a rancher I would love to try this
What herd impact is, (also described as "animal impact" in the Holistic Management Framework) is a new tool to mankind, we have 4 tools to manage ecosystems with: 1) technology 2) fire 3) rest and 4) living organisms and this now includes animal impact which is a recent idea to us.
What animal impact achieves is disturbance of the soil and plants, which is vital element to have a regenerating ecosystem in brittle environments.
We have the ability to manipulate the environment we manage, but in order to do so there are some essential principles we need to understand. Allan Savory has thought us this and has been very good at thoroughly describing this simple but fundamental knowledge in his book from 2016.
I know this video is 4 years old, but I am 47 years old, and I would love to work on your farm, if the offer is still available. All kinds of farming are my passion.
Amazing.
I guess I will comment here, since I can't see an option to make a new comment. I can't believe that it's been three years and the are only over 30,000 views. This is important information, that is vital to our environment, as well as for humans. Allowing no new comments by this platform, tells me there is a concerted effort to hide this information.
So cool!
"lf you wanna see how true love can be just look at us." love for each other love for their cattle love of their land .AWESOME.
Where are the main streaming channels? Let's make a huge change by getting this type of ranching better known..
I can't even make a new comment, unless I make a comment to someone who already has. Seems this information is being shadow banned. That's just wrong.
@@beccagee5905becca sounds like you've got a case of IBM. Comments are working fine
Abundance + is a streaming platform that specifically focuses on permaculture, rotational grazing, homesteading, etc.
I am interested in learning! I don’t know anything about farming but I’ve been called and I want to learn. I am willing to travel, work hard, not looking for comfort or handouts just want to learn.
Damn, their kids about to turn all that hard work into subdivisions as soon as they pass.
I enjoyed that video. We've got about 300 acres east of Abilene. Not the same type of land as these folks, but the animal impact process is intriguing and should work out there. This comment is for @beccagee5905 who doesn't think she can make a new comment.
That was great
Love this!
Wonderful
Love it all, I wish I could help in any in any capacity.
Can you follow this grazing technique on 10 acres? Where do i start?
We'd start by reaching out to these folks about grazing questions. They're the masters! soilhealthacademy.org/contact-us/
Peter is a good filmmaker
We'd have to agree... but maybe we're biased ;)
@@carboncowboysDo you know why there is no option to make a new comment, only to make a comment under someone else's comment? Also after being posted for three years only to have 36,000 views seems strange to me. I have heard that some companies are gatekeepers, and don't want helpful information out, a global effort to end good ways to grow meat and help the environment. Hard to believe, but facts don't lie. Only 36,000 views in three years, and no new comments. I even opted in to read the community guidelines posted above the comments, still no go. You are being throttled.
When she said she was looking for a young couple to take over I raised my had quick, looked at my hubby and said, "lets go baby!" 😂
I wanna get on my horse (that I don’t have yet) and move them cattle !
those cattle move themselves when they remove the electric wire to the next paddock.
“Austin people”… haha I love this guy !!
I’d really love to see how they sort there cattle, vac them, denut them. And I’d love to farm that land and learn from them
What you are doing and have done is awesome. It's a shame your family has no interest but I can get that ranching and farming is hard .
His foundation was the teachings of Allan Savory. Nice! ❤
American heroes, straight up.
It would be nice to wake up on that ranch everyday.
good stuff
She’s a good cook too.
how are these lovely champions doing in 2024?
