Wow. That’s a lot!! I give you all kinds of credit for a galant effort! I too think that mob grazing is quite possibly the salvation of our planets soils. I’ve not ever heard until just now in your video of a rancher trying it with bison, so mad respect. I would not have thought that you could keep bison behind hot wire/tape at that density and I guess you had to try everything before you were willing to throw in the towel, for now. Never know what new fencing products, or technology the future could bring or maybe as you suggested more land. But if you take the pressure off you may not get the results you are looking for. Really interesting topic, so glad I saw this and look forward to seeing more of your system. You seem like a very thoughtful, progressive type of young rancher, and we do need many more of your mindset. I wish you much success with your next ideas about how to graze for best soil and grass!!🫶
Good to see you again, Noah! Sounds like you have had a very busy summer with the herd. How many buffalo do you have in the herd now? Hope you and the family are well and look forward to more videos from you again!
Sorry to hear that you did not have success with MOB grazing. I was excited to watch your attempts and did ask if anyone else was attempting with bison. Once more applaud the attempt. Keep it up Noah.
This is the way some of the bigger ranches are set up. I added extra interior fences but the gates are left open because they move around good on their own. Eventually I will close areas off for up to a year for a break. Herddog tracker will help me decide what to close off. Followed your plan on building the herd. Luckily before prices went way up. Also quality genetics like you suggested. Thank you for all the advice. I’m setting up a facility for training new bison ranchers.
As a bison rancher, when you started this mob/rotational grazing I had to tune out. Would love to discuss offline, but your herd is going to benefit so much more from open grazing! Don't look at this as defeat....
I wondered how that was going for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Allen Savory has presented some really compelling evidence for mob grazing, but the strategy relies heavily on intensely condensed herds and monitoring and moving them throughout the day. In old America, when bison stood shoulder to shoulder, mile upon mile, I imagine this strategy worked quite well for the land. But the bison moved of their own volition back then, and obviously acres and miles are different measurements. Bison, by nature, are very curious, and those eyes are built to read the landscape. They might see a grove of trees against the horizon line and want to lay in the shade there, or likewise note a particular bush or shrub on the landscape that appeals to them better than the pasture selected for them by the land manager. The more you try to imagine the world like the buffalo see it, the more it seems boring to graze the same pasture, or be limited to a certain area, or be pushed or confined, or milled about like a machine. There's a lot to see and feel and taste in the bison world, and learning from them by letting them do their own thing makes sense to me.
That was interesting information, Noah. I understand rotational grazing; but, I'm not sure what mob grazing is. It's good to see another video from you. I always enjoy hearing what you have to say about the bison and your experiences.
Miss you and your family,especially cooking. We'll never raised anything just enjoy watching. Buffalo are amazing and your patience also❤. Meant to wander and be their own boss but they still respect and trust to a point it seems...corny but born to be free but. They don't know how blessed they are just like us.
Your channel inspired me to get into bison/rotational grazing cattle. Ive reached out to a local bison ranch in north central ks but they don’t want to train a 23 year old ecologist to do volunteer work for them I guess. I am sure mob grazing can work you just need to go back to the drawing board and maybe play around with a few variables after youve recovered from this summers work. I was wondering if letting your bison walk the entire property had a similar effect to that of cattle or if they still created better microclimates/diversity from coevolving with the plants.
Turner institute of ecoagriculture is studying some of these practices. Some of the ranches Noah visited do rotational mob grazing on a larger scale. The best results are when they don’t come back to a grazed area until another season. Huge expense in cross fence. Manipulate the herd to travel across a vast area is more cost effective. I run a conservation herd so I can’t speak to how rancher does their work. I will say we make no pollution and pay the bills with products that include bison. Grazing bison on native lands and reducing other cattle species is one of the bigger environmental impacts the USA could make. If you visit the national bison website they will set you up with a rancher near you to work with. Good luck to you
Hi, just wondering why there has been no activity? Am not asking why really as it’s not my business but just hoping everything is ok xx from Australia :)
I love Bison but this is the reason I’ll never raise them. Rotational grazing is the best form of grazing period. You can’t do it with Bison. That’s why I am thinking of cows. Plus Bison are wild. You can’t trust them around children.
Happy to see another video! Loved it! Very educational. :-)

Welcome back!

glad to see you back Noah
Where have you been??? Been missing you…glad you’re back!
Thanks. Very interesting test that you tried. You at least know you tried your best and found results. Keep up your ways and learning.
Amazing weather clip at the end!
Glad to see u back I was wondering how it was going with the mob grazing
Woohoo. So glad to see you back. Have missed your videos. Always love the info you give.
So good to see you. It's been awhile. Hope you and your family are doing well. Take care and be safe ❤

How come you not do any more videos
Hey
I was just wondering about you bro.
Glad ur back!
What happened Noah and the Bisons?

Its ok. I think it was worth the try and we now have the info for anyone trying bison. Great job, as always, Noah.
Hi, just wondering why there has been no activity? Am not asking why really as it’s not my business but just hoping everything is ok xx from Australia :)
NOah what has happened my friend no POSTS for 11 months now. Is everyone ok. Please let us know.
Bisão são lindos.
Those wild animals are not buffaloes. I genuinely thought you had buffaloes.
I love Bison but this is the reason I’ll never raise them. Rotational grazing is the best form of grazing period. You can’t do it with Bison. That’s why I am thinking of cows. Plus Bison are wild. You can’t trust them around children.
@@shadybendbison1525 have you ever seen any of Greg Judy’s stuff? I’d trust his cows and bulls with a toddler.
???bison are currently grazed this way at many ranches. The tiny fence that moves not so much.
