Interesting point on rotating paddocks so you aren't using them the same time every year. Funny because it seems so basic yet I never thought about it before.
What do you plant in your grazing area? I have a 3-3.5 acre area that has been hay for the last 30years. I have purchased the land about 8 years ago and started mowing it. Not taking anything off. I would like to have beef and chickens to help regenerate the soil. Any ideas?
👋 Hi. This would take planning on paper with a great deal of thought and good knowledge of your property. The soil would have to be suitable for all animals that would be grazing on it....I would think. 🤷♀️ Be blessed. Much success in all your planning and work. 🥰
Thank you, Patricia! Yes, it is definitely a lot to think about... but the good thing is that he recommended just getting started and going from there! Thank you so much, Patricia! -the Shepherdess
We are wanting to build chicken tractors. We can not source aluminum roofing anywhere. It’s just not available. What other roofing can I use??? Please help.
Check out this one that my sister made! Tarp and Cattle Panels Super easy... it is for laying hens on pasture but might be able to modify for broilers!: bit.ly/3xmv1m0

Good info from Joel as usual. I really wanted to attend this online class, but my birthday was May 20 and my girlfriend insisted that I go out with her and not stay home and watch youtube. 😒 lol
Haha! I think you were wise to listen. 😂 Relationship spared. 😂😂 Hopefully you enjoy the replay! I might host another one this year, so be watching. -the Shepherdess

That was the point that really resonated with me! I hadn’t much considered it before he mentioned.
Great information on rotational grazing. Thank you for getting such an informative guest.
I’m so bad at math I had to re watch this several times to be able to get what he’s talking about lmao Great interview though!

What size pens do you make for each animal?
What animals follow which animals?
We have goats, horses, kune kune pigs, rabbits, chickens

Our local Lowe's has corrugated plastic roofing that we have used instead of aluminum.
Oooh! This is great
Thanks guys. I think we are going to go with the plastic. I just hope they don’t get too hot.

How is this supposed to help on a new farm with no information no data? What about the sheep and chickens that are also in rotation ?
I never hear him talk about goats. That’s the info I need for a wooded property. Not going to have cows.

@@theShepherdess That would be very cool. I've been a big fan of Joel for years.
Yes, I've been around long enough to choose my battles wisely. lol
What if you don't have alot of land ?
Great info straight from the horses mouth 👍
Yes!!
How do ranchers count their cattle? They use a cowculator.
A common saying in the laboratory is "In God we trust. All others bring data" Would also hold true in a pasture.
that is how my grand pa and ex-father-in-law used to move their cows
That’s really neat to hear! Where did they live/farm at?
