I love how much you love what you do! It truly shows in your videos, the beautiful animals and the land. I long for the day when my family and I get to partake in the joys of regenerative farming . 😊
One day I will be on the Land. I prayed on it and God said he will definitely bless me with a farm one day. Mr. Greg, I've never once thought about farming until I ran across your channel. God bless you and your family!
This is the result of managing your farm in sync with Mother Nature!! Everything looks amazing in your ranch. You are so dedicated to teach people the best and simple way to farm!! Your producing best quality food in a cheapest and healthiest way!!!
@@albertszilard577 Here's a translation from Romanian for those who might be curious: "Hi Emil and I are watching Greg I can't wait to put into practice everything I learned, good luck in life" How great to see how this method of farming is being spread all over the world! (Cât de minunat să vezi cum această metodă de cultivare este răspândită în întreaga lume!) (What would we do without Google Translate?) (Ce am face fără Google Translate?)
Greg is one of the best teachers, I really appreciate his efforts and passion to connect people with land in the right way!!! He’s amazing person!!! Lovely 😊
Greetings all! I stumbled upon your channel; sheer chance. I am a city slicker now but I have been fortunate enough to have easy access to very small ranches in my vicinity. At 35 I took one hard look in the mirror and decided that after 15 years in corporate, I was willing to give it up for a farming lifestyle. Both a shift in mindset and direction. Thank you Greg, you are inspiring others to revert to the land. THANK YOU from Davie, Fl.
The natural engineering behind how all these systems tie together - and with abundant generosity - continues to astound me. It's almost like God is a giver and knows what he's doing.
It's great to be able to take a break and sit back and watch your pretty cows and calves. Never thought about how uneaten grass grows and provides shade for the other grass.
Not to be a nay sayer but these row croppers out here in Ohio make leasing land a hard deal. But I think I have some landowners thinking about getting Monsanto and row croppers off their ground in exchange for cows ,pigs and chickens on good green grass. 🙂
Greg, reminds me of our great bison herds. Never stayed in one place for very long. God made them well, self survivors, that benefitted the land. You seem to understand that.
I'll never be a farmer but I am really interested in regenerative holistic farming and seek to support those farmers for my food. I have really enjoyed learning about managed grazing and seeing and learning from you what Allan Savory preaches. Funny seeing the contrast with other "traditional" cattle youtube channels and the lack of grass, use of bail rings, mud sacrifice fields, feeding grain, flighty cattle etc etc. I think they just like driving big tractors and spending money. Love what you are doing and really look forward to more follow up on the Arizona goat farm you were consulting with in a brittle zone. This is a true example of sequestering carbon with biology and does not get enough air time these days. I do love the fact that you could barely see the calves laying down in this video because the grass was so tall! Thanks for sharing.
Several species competing for "America's Got Talent" finalist in this video. Eastern meadowlark and Red-winged blackbird go head-to-head at about 7:00 till the end, but the tree swallows will not be out-done at 15:00
I really appreciate actually seeing what is talked about with residual. Thanks!! BTW, do you actually clip at some point, or do you just mob the animals tighter do trample the older, more mature plants? If you do clip, would you mind sharing what/if a general rule of thumb would be?
It will be the wise farmers and those who invest with them that will be ones who do the most to repair the damage of this crises. Us farmers are without a doubt are the most resilient and resourceful people in the country/planet. It's up to us to do things right and provide stability to civilization and show the world that we are all stable cornerstones.
My bluegrass is starting to seed also. and it is short and thin in spots This video makes me feel better about what I'm doing. I had to pull my almost 2 year old twins off their mama who is due anyday., I don't wean, but I feel that I have no choice.
What struck me was, what do you have ahead of you that determines how much to leave? Please share with us your grazing plan or planning regime that says or shows that you will be back in 30 days. It's great to see it today but what does the future resource look like? Take your wheeler and give us a ride to take a look at what the future holds. Or is this a trade secret. Folks are trying to make decisions not about today but in 30 days perhaps. We gotta walk, measure and plan inventory. I got my 25 day plan which I hope to show. I know, I'm giving you the business but I think it's important. Thanks Buddy!
Our problem is keeping up with the grass growth with all the rain. Our whole rotation across all farms will be 25 days. I will be doing a video on what we have to come back to shortly.
Looks absolutely amazing Greg! I got your book a bit ago and read the whole thing in record time. I'm nineteen and live on a small farm with a handful of Jersey cows. I try to graze them properly and you have helped me immeasurably to understand what that means! You've given me hope that I can do this to make my living instead of sitting in an office. Thank you so much!
Another Great video from you! Ive only been watching you for a few weeks and already learned so much good information. Im plannin on orderin a book from you in the next week or so. Once again thanks for the great knowledge!
Thanks for the explanation, Greg! I definitely want the residual to protect the soil from the hot summer sun--trying to keep the soil cool to deter the toxic weeds that favor those hot summer days (i.e. hemp dogbane)!
There is an active evil force working to destroy the good you got going here. Some call it Monsanto, I call it the devil. The way we beat them is Knowledge, numbers, longevity and sustainability. Know what they’re doing, outnumber them with the good we’re doing, keep doing it and it will take care of itself. Love ur videos
That fungal pod is a visual proof of which means you are getting your fungi to carbon ratio more fungal...which means you are retaining more nutrients in your bank longer for your pasture...that’s awesome!!!...you could grow unbelievable cash crops dave!!!...🤩
Hi Mr Greg, how you doing!? I'm from Brazil, and i dont speak english very well, maybe you had answered my questions in the videos, but i can understand better when i read. So, what the name of grass? the rest period, how many days? how many hectar in the area? The stocking rate? the daily average gain of catle ? the climate of your farm?? thank you !
GREG, i have a question? with the way you move/rotate the cows and sheep, could you stock more animals?snows almost gone, its still cold and wet, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
@@YISHRAELi I apologise, I quoted Marcus Aurelius. I didn't understand what you wrote, my error. ...let me add to this, my take: The universe is constantly changing.

Greg, I love your videos! Your passion for the land and your animals is evident. I would, however, like to see some videos on the end game. How do you ultimately make your money on the animals?
Raise a superior product while healing your soil and producing healthy food for your community is a great place to start. Manage your farm in sync with nature also helps the bottom line. Once nature starts helping you, complements of you not battling her everyday, things fall into place.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks so much for the response! Forgive my ignorance, I'm not a rancher and simply looking into this as an interest and a potential in the future for me to explore. Do you process and sell your animals direct to consumers? Or do you sell your animals live, etc? Thanks again for the amazing content for doing what you do!
We sell live animals that are processed at local locker plants. We also sell animals to other folks to finish on their own pastures. We also sell breeding stock.
What happens to the winter hair that falls off? I imagine that some of it gets picked up by birds to use making their nests, but that can't take care of all of it, can it? Does it get stomped into the ground to add organic matter to it? Thanks!
Hey Greg I have a question, say if someone wanted to integrate chickens and laying into this system, how would one go about doing that have you ever considered it?
@@christophergruenwald5054 Same thing was said about mob grazing for many years. The terra preta created by the ancient Amazonians is now being dug and used for potting soil and it regrows itself if they leave a foot or so of it.

This fires me up! Would love to be able to farm like this
Me and my wife love the explanation on how the cows gut work. Never quit doing the good work you do.

The blessing of the Lord. 😃
Thank you for words of encouragement😷
By gosh! Look at that grass !
Uplifting...thanks
Tons of great facts as always! The three hour rule seems about as close to a recipe as anyone could hope for.
My bluegrass is starting to seed also. and it is short and thin in spots This video makes me feel better about what I'm doing. I had to pull my almost 2 year old twins off their mama who is due anyday., I don't wean, but I feel that I have no choice.
Amen work with nature.
Don't eat that mushroom Greg. You'll be in the spirit world lol. Really enjoy your vlogs.
Taller plants provide shade later in the summer when there is less rain. Got it. Thank you.

We are blessed for sure. Great young men that are passionate about learning regenerative ag.

🏆🏆 Great Information 🏆🏆
Great vid...wise words
What breed are these cattle? I just found your channel. I am a small time farmer In Ontario, Canada who is envious of your beautiful pasture!
Can you talk about the business cycle of the ranch? when and how do the cows become cash in hand? do they just go to auction?
Most of our stock is sold at 12-24 months old. The auction only gets our cull cattle, Everything else is direct marketed to customers.

Do you use lick tanks for any of your cattle? And how old before you castrate calves? 🙏🏻
We do not use lick tanks. Castrate at 12 months.

Greg, I got a sheep question. I know you don't worm your sheep. But other then ear tags do you treat your new lambs or ewes with anything else?
We do not ear tag sheep. We band the ram lambs and give them a tetanus shot at banding day.
What happens to the winter hair that falls off? I imagine that some of it gets picked up by birds to use making their nests, but that can't take care of all of it, can it? Does it get stomped into the ground to add organic matter to it? Thanks!
It is organic, the soil takes it down.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks. I figured that. I suppose it has some nutritive value for the soil and the microbiome, too, right? :)
We lost our first calf this year to huge teets
Hey Greg I have a question, say if someone wanted to integrate chickens and laying into this system, how would one go about doing that have you ever considered it?
Check out Gabe Brown. He talks about it some on his operation.
Greg, can I go mushroom 🍄 picking on your pastures? Pretty please?!!
How much seed in pounds per acre did
you put down on that cuculbur field.
Zero seed, but we did unroll hay in the cocklebur field several winters.
What if all you got is undesirable weeds in your pasture?
I would put sheep on the weeds. Your turning weeds to cash!!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher That makes allot of sense. Thank kind sir and God bless
Pasture puff ball!
Nice
👍
Any thoughts about using biochar ?
Impractical in a commercial operation. Go ahead and use it in your personal garden if you can justify the cost.
Another input that I don't need, My money goes into animals with 4 hooves that heal soils and gives me babies every year.
