Doing some research on pasture and grazing in my Canadian province of Québec, I notice that one of the main agricultural governmental organization (MAPAC) is actually promoting holistic grazing quite a lot and provides tons of information for it. That's quite nice.
I like 👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖, I subscribed ages ago and I don't comment every time but I do periodically have something to say. Today all that I can come up with is how interesting to see once again how you do your rotations and see the influence of location and land availability in comparison to what I have learned from watching others in much more southern areas of North America who start much earlier than your climate allows. I haven't come across a Canadian presenter so I have no idea what it is like here in the Maritimes for farmers this time of the year thank you ❤️🙋🏼♀️❤️
@@FrankiandHillbilly thank you for the recommendation! I have just subscribed and I look forward to watching their videos .I certainly enjoyed watching the first two that I found today my favourite presenters are those people who are passionate about what they do and who work hard to teach others. I certainly have learned a lot about our food. I am a better informed shopper. For example in the grocery today the meat labels boasted that their animals were grain fed as if it was a good thing, I would never have thought twice about it before. Now I know better. Again I thank you 😊🖖👍🙋🏼♀️💝
Good Morning @Richard Perkins, Thank you for the great video as usual. About those Voss energiser. We just received our Apollo 3000 last week and are very disappointed. We used to electrify our nets with our main fence line powered by our main energiser. The difference is quite shocking, or actually not, because I can hold the nets in my hand and just feel a bit the power from the Apollo 3000. I’m wondering how powerful are yours? You always seem to be satisfied with them, how much power do they develop when you test them? Voss told us that they’re actually not ideal for poultry netting, quite a shame for 500€..
Very nice. I need chopstick controlled software please. Possible planting software. How many spread sheets in the trash? You are so nicely adaptable to BS.
Great vid, thx! Several things are still unclear though: 1. If Overgrazing normally kicks in after 3 days on the same land - why do you intend to stay for more days, According to your plan? 2. How many sheep/cow/chicken heads do you allow per Hectare? 3. Do you have to purchase any hey for the winter or this planning allows you to be self sufficient and even sell some extras?
he is sub dividing the pastures. - so the whole pasture maybe 10 days but each day is a paddock within that pasture. (ie 10 hectare pasture divided into 1 hectare daily paddocks.)
It pays a lot in the form of drought and erosion resistance, which can be difficult to translate directly into profit, but it makes your land much more resilient over time.
Hi Richard! Love your channel and I Love the grazing worksheet, have you made it yourself and is there a way to get a copy of this? From the other side of the world... in New Zealand. 😁
Do you split up your fields into smaller paddocks? And is that one paddock per day? And if so, how do you know how big to make them? Is there a rule of thum, say X metres per cow per day in order to achieve the desired grazing height?
you can design your paddocks based on average daily intakes of your animal (% of bodyweight) and multiply it by the number of animals. then use a swardstick or other measure to ensure you are not just rotationally starving your animals./
Richard, I live just north of Frankfurt and here in the neighbourhood, there are free-range chickens (layers) out in the fields today and they have been out all last week. Are the regulations different here in Germany or do the same rules apply everywhere in the EU, when there is bird flu?

You can tell when the content will be in depth and thorough based on the number of hand notes ❤️. I appreciate that you take some time to plan a bit.
Got my book today - ITS SO THICK!
When did you order? I'm impatiently still waiting
@@throbinho I think I ordered on the 1st of may, and got it today the 6th of may.

I recently found Verge Permaculture, New to them but wanted to share

Thanks Richard for a most informative and interesting video.

We have the same problem with voles, those buzzers work only in a radius... plant them thick and you better wear headphones. They will turn you crazy

Whoot! Look at me being first! Really enjoy your videos.
Very interesting !

'Paying into our carbon bank for next year'. Yesss!
Now I'm curious to find out how this feeds back into profits and efficiency over the years.
It pays a lot in the form of drought and erosion resistance, which can be difficult to translate directly into profit, but it makes your land much more resilient over time.
I had those voles beeper things. They annoyed me more than the voles. They lasted a few weeks then broke. But they do make useful dibbers.
Me too, those things are so annoying! And the voles didn’t care at all, they ran right past them. 🙄
What do you do with the cattle during winter?
They are hanging in the Woods. Fjällko can handle the cold werry well .

HMI ( holistic managment international) have a free version -

Hey where are you? I’m in the Taunus🙂. Nice to meet interested people from near me here! Greetings, Antje
The regulations varyin different states.
