- Fall calving herd/heifer herd enjoying our Gama Grass field. Gama Grass is a native warm season grass that compliments your grazing operation with high production in hot weather when cool season grasses go dormant. Has a tremendous tap root that delivers moisture to the plant in dry conditions.

Beautiful herd it was such an amazing experience to get out there in that field and watch Greg dig through cow pats looking for dung beetles and worms. BOTH were found in abundance! Greg and the boys are running an incredible operation, thank you so much for putting on the grazing school to share what you are doing with the rest of us!
It’s all about the Money! Looking good Greg.
I love your cows are so y!
I feel like this is the greenest tallest grass you’ve had since l started watching seven years ago. Sure is purdy! 😁 Must be all that rain.
Beautiful. Wish you all the best.
"What do you do about ticks? Pick them off!" So true!
Thanks for the video! The video looks so perfect like it is in the movies with the blue sky, few clouds, and cows eating grass. I sure enjoy this year so far with the rains that we gotten and the warmth too. The past few years have been rough for sure. I’m sure some of the row crops farmers prefer to have a 2 weeks of drier weather so they can get their crops in the ground. We actually have water sitting in our waterway in the back of our property. We haven’t had water there since 2020 because last year was a drought but the other years we didn’t have runoff in our property and the rain water been going into the ground since we try to keep the ground covered. I bet the water table been going up slowly back there by the water going into the ground now.
ThankQ what a nice morning
The sound of cows getting mouthfuls of the grass is a lot more noticable than the wind most of the time 😂❤😂😮🎉❤🎉good to see the mobile self replicating fertilizer distributors working their magic through the use of solar energy🤷🏼♀️💝💚🌟🍀🖖🧓👍🍀🌟💚💝
Good morning! Your animals look amazing, and I know it has to do with your pasture rotation management, but genetics has to be a big part of it. Are you running a closed herd at this point? I'd love to hear your thoughts in a video on "linebreeding" and how you are managing your genetics as far as bulls and cows and their relationships. I thought I saw one video where you just ran all of your bulls with the cows and heifers for a period during breeding season. Thank you for all of the valuable information you provide.
Thank you for the video.
Keep ‘em moooovin’ !
We need a lambing vid.
Very obvious your cows are not combating flies while eating
That's awesome all your cows got bred so fast. What ratio of cows/hiefers to bulls would you recommend?
Great tree swallow info too, I checked and thankfully our farm is located in the tree swallow breeding area.
Thanks a lot, Michael NJ
If you're in the 50-60 cow range, you need at least 2 bulls to make sure they can keep up with the cows cycling in time. Conservatively, 1 bull to 20 cows. If your bulls are bigger (more than 1300lb), you should go with a more conservative ratio because their large size will make them lose condition when breeding. I hope this comment is helpful.
@AudrieCarter Thank You!
What do you think about Kit Pharos theory that you can select for fly resistance in cattle,
That’s why we run South Poll cattle. They have natural fly resistance in their oily hides.
So Greg, would I be correct in referring to those mid Missouri flies as Homey's.
What do you mount the tree swallow houses on? Do the cows ever knock them down rubbing against them?
Where’s the hair sheep , Did you get rid of them?
Weighing the pros and cons of fall calving. three pros: 1 breeding heifers at the appropriate weight (too light you will get a calf sooner, but at the cost of delayed rebreeding as she is nutrient deficient and forever stunted In size) 2 An animal may not rebreed from various factors (% is low) so to prevent loss of an entire year skip her until the next breeding system. 3 bulls need 3 m to get back into condition; as such he is back into his work clothes the next cycle. Our bulls lasted 8 - 10 years longer, many times replaced because we did not want conjectural breeding 4 because 2x per year our bull herd was half the size traditionally needed
Is the fall calving by choice or was this bunch open after breeding? Trying to understand what's going on here.
We’ve had a fall calving group for 22 years
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher oh wow, I thought you calved in the spring only.
Hi how can I contact you to get this.
Hi Greg, any suggestions how to eliminate canadian thistle in pasture?
If its anything like trudeau you'll never get rid of it
I noticed if you graze it correctly and let the pasture get tall with other plants like grasses, forbs, and clover it disappears slowly. From the first year 2020 to now I say it is reduced by 80-90 percent. If the patches too big, weedeater works great to help slow it down. We had some thick patches, and I made them eat it, but I had them in real tight to stomp it down. I put the water point in the center of the patch. Then, I let it rest for over 60 days. Also, feeding hay there helped to in the winter.
