    Russ, We are so grateful for the produce that you have sold us, especially now given the price of good meat and the empty shelves and produce cases in many grocery stores. Again, Thank You.

      Welcome aboard! The editing takes a lot more time in the end think it makes a better video.

      Thank you! I will do more on doctoring and treating cattle. Doctoring isn't something we do very much. WIll do videos as we treat animals. Thanks for watching!!!

    Hello Russ. It has been awhile. Pastures are looking great here in western PA. Rotating 2 small herds right now, they are in heaven.
    Do you ever have to mow any pastures?
    I hope you and the family are all well. Busy time of year, be safe out there. Farmer rod

    Just found your channel from Greg Judy. I enjoy your content. I am curious if you clip pasture behind your cows? Ever consider pulling a multi packet over areas that don't get trampled good enough or do you think that amount of compaction would adversely affect regrowth?

    • @RussWilson
      @RussWilson  3 роки тому +1

      I don't clip anything. When watch my videos a lot of those pastures looked clipped. If i'm grazing an area that will have a lot standing when done grazing. I will make the paddocks long and narrow. This causes a lot more foot traffic and get those plants on the ground. I'm always afraid to clip cause I'm potently clipping the solar panels. The compaction in a healthy living system comes back out of the soil in as little 30 days. Thanks for Watching!!

    So with your grazing practice. In the beginning of video you showed 2 pad that cows where just on, so are they done with that until fall or winter grazing time. I just learned a lot in this 13 minutes. An the one main point being I think my sheep got to big of a pad. Here on November 1st I still got stuff that stands knee high but right next to it its trampled down to the ground. Thanks for the video

    • @RussWilson
      @RussWilson  3 роки тому +1

      Yes those pastures will be done till fall winter we actually just grazed them again just last week. WOn't graze them again till June most likely. Your sheep probably do have to large of an area a common mistake. If you can make the paddocks smaller it get more rest on the soil. Which in turn will be a lot more productive. Thanks for watching!!

    What kind of water pipe are you using and trough?

    • @RussWilson
      @RussWilson  7 місяців тому

      Tank is 55 gallon barrel cut in half and we use 5/8" garden hose or 3/4" black poly pipe.

  • @bethakin5999

    So am I understanding correctly that you generally graze each paddock 2x/year and you only leave them on a section for basically 24 hours?

    I hadn't heard of that soil type before and since I couldn't spell it, I couldn't look it up.
    The ar(something) soil.

      Armagh soil is about 40 percent of our land. Not recommended for agricultural use. How ever it not bad after learning how to manage it.

    • @rochrich1223
      @rochrich1223 3 роки тому

      Ah, basically decomposed shale mudstone over shale. I thought it was worth looking up because I've been eyeballing the land in the Southern tier of NY. Not so far from your place.
      Lots of abandoned farmland in NY owned by yuppies, the elderly children of ex-dairymen and hunters. Land with difficulties can yield well if managed well. Also handy is the million people markets of Rochester, Buffalo and Cleveland a half days drive. Your place probably replaces Rochester with Pittsburgh. Thanks
