Thanks!
Thanks for watching and for your support!
Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
Russ good coverage of the grazing situation. Cows look good. Happy New Year.
Happy new year!
Thank you for everything you do!
...why you growling at me. Lol.
Thanks Ryan
You have some very docile cows. It is amazing just what everyday interaction with them will do. Thanks for the video.
So nice of you Thanks!
Good morning and Happy New Year, 47 acres left to graze your killing me. We have been feeding hay for at least 60/70 days, looking forward to extending the grazing time this new year. Great group of videos lately, looking forward to your return visit to the farm this year if time allows.
Happy New Year! Feeding hay isn't fun for sure! When we feed hay for 40-60 days feels like eternity. Looking forward to visiting your farm this year. Thanks for watching!!
Your pastures look great for January 2024. I had a good grazing year, I was happy. I did set a goal to extend my days from last years grazing period. You are so right about no excuses and changing your ways. Mistakes is what makes us better. Curious, how old was oldest cow you have or had on the farm. Great job Emmy. Happy New Year Wilson family from farmer rod family
Hey Rod, Glad you were able to graze later into the year. Our 3 oldest cows are 12 years. The cow that eats dogs is 12 and the cow I refer to as a big old girl is 12. Mistakes is how we learn. Happy new year to you and your family!
There are no excuses, thank you. All i see here in my area are cattle in mud.
There is a lot of mud here as well. It is not just a small paddock its whole fields. Thanks for Watching!!!
It's amazing how much you save with grazing. It should be educational for wise people, stubborn people not so much!
It cost a lot to feed livestock. Even if your making your own feed. Thank for watching!
The best early winter grazing! I can say that Wisconsin has yet to see a real winter day. The extended Forcast shows that cold air is on its way.
Always the goal here also to extend the grazing season. We got to the end of november this year but heavy snow and frozen ground can make it a challenge.
Weather sure can be a problem. Will you be able to go back out before spring or are you done?
I'm done. We had a mild fall so we got everything grazed. My next step will be to have some stockpile for spring.
😊
Thanks for watching!!
Hi Russ. Will you be in attendance at the Mt hope grazing conference this year?
Unfortunately I will not be there sorry. I have trip into new england when they are having it. Thanks for watching!! Tell the conference board you would like to see me back. It is a great conference!!
Where do you buy your white clover seed?
I buy a lot of seed from Welter seed and honey company. They have good seed only drawback is the shipping. If buying a lot of seed the shipping is off set. Hope that helped! Thanks for Watching!
We continue to enjoy the time laps and drone shots ..
Keep the videos coming ..
This last time lapse was done on 360 camera so I could pan and zoom. We will be adding more time-lapse and drone shots to the video. Thanks for watching! Love the feedback so I can make the channel better.
What are you favorite grasses for winter grazing?
That is a great question! I used to think fescue was the best. I think orchard grass is even better. Fescue is still up in my top two favs.
Beautiful herd,❤
Thanks ✌️
What breed of cattle do you run?
50% are registerable black angus. I say that cause we have not registered an animal in over 4 years. Folks recognize our cattle as animals that can go out and make living without all the inputs and don't want the papers. The other half of the herd a commercial angus with wagyu, herford, or brahman mixed in with less than 12.5% on the off spring. Thanks for watching!!
Do you spread your cowpiles or leave them as is after cows have been moved
We do not spread the cow pies. Soon as the soils start waking up in the spring they will be gone quickly. One of our goals not to start a tractor.
Thanks, I make it until about the middle of January without feeding hay. Luv your videos
Are you grazing sheep and/or goats? Do you use any chemicals/vaccinations?
We graze sheep. I haven't been able to find a goat that is hardy enough to live here. We use no chemicals, vaccinations, and do not trim feet. In the event we had to treat for something that animal will be eliminated from the flock. Great question!
@@RussWilson what mix of breeds influence your sheep genetics? Have you checked out Integrity Ranch goats? I would like to get a breeding trio of hair sheep and meat goats. Only have an acre. My background is CAFO dairy-lifetime til a year ago and CAFO pigs-18 months about 6 years ago. Have been reading/watching Joel Salatin, Gabe Brown, Greg Judy, Ray Archuleta, Allen Williams, Jim Gerrish, Allen Savory, Steve Kenyon, Richard Perkins (who had a really fascinating interview of a guy who line bred his best after heavily culling the bottom),... You and my one brother create things in the farm shop. He built a wheelchair stair glide from scratch and modified nearly every piece of equipment that the farm purchased.
@@RussWilsonCounter Culture Farms may suit your management style
@@user-kv2pt4lu9y@user-kv2pt4lu9y Katahdin and Dorper are the main influences in the flock. Other than that, I can't tell you what else is mixed into the flock. When folks normally ask, I respond with They are sheep that live. I'll check out Integrity Ranch for goats. Farmers are known for taking a brand new piece of equipment, tearing it apart, and rebuilding it for their farm. Great comment.
I'll check them out. @@user-kv2pt4lu9y

Yeah really. We kept putting it for getting ram out. Then I went past the sheep he was breeding. Thanks for watching!
How many head of cattle and, through how many total acres do they rotate?

Great question we have around 80-90 head of cattle all times. Our total animals including hogs, sheep donkeys, chicken and cattle are around 70-80 animal units with 145 acres of pasture land.
I’m leaning more towards grazing. And less feeding up here in se Saskatchewan Canada. Currently got my herd grazing a cover crop blend. Been a mild winter up here so far.
Steve Kenyon is a Canadian grazier
Rock on! Had few speaking inquires from Saskatchewan hope can get there in the next year. Thanks for watching!
