- Greg discusses how to prevent bloat on clover pasture. With higher stock density you can trample enormous amounts of carbon onto your pasture surface. Check out my books on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net for more profitable grazing tips for your farm.
Thanks Greg. I've been waiting since Sunday for another therapy session, I mean, video! I'm sure ya'll super busy right now so I really appreciate your taking time to make and post a video. Be safe. God bless.
You can tell it's spring, my butter is so yellow! :-)
Some of the most beautiful cows I've seen in a very long time.
So excited to get started on my dream farm ! Purchased 23 acres in south Alabama. It's heavily wooded but you show proof that it can be transformed into a great place. Thank Greg Judy
Do as much as you can in silvo pasture. Should be some south pull cattle around you. I'm up in Massachusetts I have micro silvo pasture all cool season grasses beautiful sight good luck brother. No snow to worry about
Best of luck to you.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher no luck need with wisdom and understanding and a love for the land and a lot of help form the man upstairs I will be just fine.
Over here in the UK, they still feed mostly grass, but the grass half the year is from silage and that definitely affects the flavour. I can't remember the last time I had beef that tasted like it did back in the sixties.
I love the SWEET MUSIC!!! Those GALS are Beautiful, thank god for Ben and Isaac
Greg...hope ur feeling ok buddy....sounds like ur having a bit of a summer cold or sinus. Thanks for the video...great info...we're starting this week with our intensive grazing on the farm
All good here on the farm!
Wow. That land is beautiful
Gorgeous cattle, pasture looks incredible!! Thank you again for sharing with people the best of your experience!
Your not kidding I put in some clover, brome, timothy hay mix last year and the clover is just going crazy. The clover was stopping up our mower, and I haven't had that trouble since back when we used to have a sickle mower.
Beautiful cows, sir. Nice to look.
I waiting for another cattle drive down the road about 1 mile long it’s amazing how much energy they have jumping and bucking down the road
Beautiful! Been a good year this far. Pray it stays like this.
Funny, I’ve been seeing more white clover in our pastures this year too and thought I was just finally opening my eyes to notice it from your teachings. Maybe we actually do have more this year. - Alex
They look great! Not sure I could keep up with every 12 hours but that’s awesome!
Always something to learn. What about fertilization as a topic one of these days Greg...you know, maybe lime, phosphorus...mygreathanks. blessings this new year
Greg has a 19 year old cow that looks better than some 2,3,4 year old cows I've seen
The cows are clean. They're not full of manure all over them.
The white clover is very strong this year in western Pennsylvania ,too.
Hi mr Greg I never saw this beautiful cow with the white head the one that told the other cow "get out of here ,this is my area ".
I saw 2 heifers with the white on their heads in other videos but not a cow .
Have you thought about following your cows with chickens to eat the fly larva?
Hi Greg my wife and I recently bought 90 acres of land 40 acres of hay field. We want to graze 15-20 Herford cattle next year. The fields were used for haying for the last 20 years. The ground seems to be very fertile and thick with nice grass. Question is should be brush hog it down and give it back to the land or cut and bale the grass? We won’t be dealing with cattle until next year. Thanks
Do not bale it. Either brushog it or leave it alone. If you hay it, will take you years to recover that fertility.
We’ve got a few 17-19 year old cows, and even a 1999 model! Suckers just keep dropping calves.
Greg, have you had to deal with pastures with much milkweed on them? If so, what did you do about it, or would you do about it?
Our milkweed gets nailed by our animals!
What would be a great video, have The Slow Mo guys or better yet, Smarter Everyday come out and record the tree swallows in slow motion eating flies. They may not be able to catch them on ultra slow but anything would be great to see.
Looks great! What breed are the cows? Red Angus?
Hey Greg we recently purchased 25 acres in South Australia. We have done soil tests and have found that we are very very acidic at a pH of 4.5 in parts. Its been recommended that we spread lime to the maximum rate but we're not sure that is the best thing to do, we currently have a herd of 13 cows that we rotate daily. Do you have any recommendations on what you would do in this situation? Thanks so much for all the videos you out out have learnt so much!!
Hello I stay in Mississippi an trying to get started in the cattle business. I have 50 acres that the timber was cut a year ago I am cleaning the land up now an need some advice on what type of grass to plant that will allow me to be totally dependent on solar energy an what steps I need to take to do so?! Please help!!!! Thank you in advance!!!!
Greg any suggestions on polybraid. They are out at Powerflex till August September.
Timeless Fence is selling a polybraid made by a company in North Carolina. I am using a roll of it to test it it. So far after 2 weeks of daily use it us holding up quite well. Give them a call and try a roll of it.
Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher thank for the quick reply. Will call tomorrow
Hello Greg. Beautiful pastures! The amount of clover is amazing!
By looking at the residuals left by your cows I was wondering if the trampled plants don't end up killing other plants underneath them. I know that happens to my pastures. They are mostly ryegrass and clover and if the cows leave too much residuals for a few grazings in a row eventually plants die and I have to re-seed. How do you manage that? Do you clip your pastures sometimes?
We never reseed whole pastures. Maybe a severely pugged spot, with light hay spread over it. We have not clipped anything yet.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancherAll right. Thanks for your response Greg! I'm a dairy farmer producing 100% grass fed milk and was wondering if leasing land like you do would work with dairy cows. I think the difficult part could be putting together a team of people at each farm since I couldn't go to every property to milk. The infrastructure needed in a dairy operation could complicate things also. I would very much like to know what you think. I understand you grew up in a dairy farm so you know the demands. Maybe raising dairy heifers would a better way to go. Sorry to bother you again. Thanks.
Beautiful!
I have 2 pregnant cows both with calf’s on them.
What size paddock should I rotate them on,I have 15 acres to work with
Just make sure that your rotation is long enough that the plants have time to recover between grazing rotations.
Have you noticed any dung beetles? If so I might have to sneak over and borrow 10 or so to help populate and jump start the little operation I have going.
I've got thousands this year in East Texas
Are sheep less susceptible to bloat from clover?
How many lbs of clover do you broadcast to add too cool season grasses?.
How do you manage keeping year old heifers from getting breed when turning the bulls in? Mike Harris is bringing me a bull and I have 2 one year old heifers in my herd that I’m afraid will get breed. One has already shown a heat. I’d rather not run 2 herds
I've got one pasture that is heavy in white clover. I could have sworn I threw red clover on it. I only put the horses on it for one day because they get the slobbers real bad. Goats aren't interested in that pasture, they'd rather be on the hill side.
Love it man ☺
I have lots of clover and grass with it bloat blocks etc and I have red angus I have rotation pasture but they got ring worm now the vet says it will go away by itself what are your thoughts
We never got the steak taste test video!
What about straw? We toss a straw bale out when the rest of the diet is high quality.

Greg why do you keep 19 years old cows? Anything special about them?
17 calves over the years, she has a home for life. I'm kind of that way. She more than earned her right to be here.
What are you going to do with the grandma cow?
He'll keep it in the herd as long as it keeps producing healthy calves. A cow that's so fecund as to produce 18 calves is certainly not one you'd get rid of as long as it continues to reproduce -- you definitely want those genetics in the herd!
She is like the ever ready bunny, she just keeps going and going!!!!
On another topic, is your butcher booked up for months? The slaughterhouses in West Tennessee and north Mississippi apparently are all tied up for months. Can't find anyone to butcher a calf right now.
Cotswold Seeds' channel might tempt you to buy some Sainfoin ;-p
It's amazing stuff, if you can afford to buy the seed: ua-cam.com/video/t6J7CWuK3R4/v-deo.html
Beautiful, too! ua-cam.com/video/6WY34fnZ7VU/v-deo.html
If you have that much Clover isn't it better to run the sheep sheep first then the cows
Can you give them clover and alfalfa?
Be careful with extremely young vegatative plants there is a risk of bloat. No grazing on wet forage.
What’s the duration on grazing on each of the grass sections?
It depends on what part of the growing season it is and how much rain you are getting.
no need for clipping, just let the cattle handle it for an extra day or !!
Those cows looks like hippos!
Yes they do.
They keep jerking their heads back, must be flies c'mon swallows, get them flies.
