    Thanks for this ! I recently met Ben and purchased 1/8 of a steer from him. I met him and his Japanese vehicle he mentions. I was surprised to learn he had travelled from the Qualicum Beach farmers market up to Nanaimo in it with the freezers all loaded up in the back. Impressive ! our freezer now has his grass fed and finished beef in it and we are sure enjoying it ! Thanks Ben !

    Aren't sheep bad for rotational grazing ? As far as i know they pull the entire plant and its roots doesnt that damage the soil especially when it comes to water infiltration and reduce microorganisms diversity that need roots ?

    • @grazinggrass
      @grazinggrass 3 месяца назад

      While it's true sheep can graze closer to the ground than larger herbivores like cattle and bison, they typically don't pull the root out and with good management can be an essential part of a regenerative farm.

    When I’m walking I carry O’Brien step in and fiberglass posts with screw on braided wire holders in a doubled up leg of some old pants with a shoulder strap through the belt loops, a geared reel with 9 metal polybraid, and a cordless drill with a long drill bit to punch holes for the posts in very dry compacted soil that I can’t step a post into here in sw Oklahoma - because of the dry rocky soil my 3-6 earth ground rods at my speed rite solar charger isn’t always effective (8-10,000 hot but cows ignore it) so I’m needing to try adding a ground wire below my hot wire and hope that works

    • @grazinggrass

    I also use white O’Brien post and I have a few blue. Snow is the only trouble with all white. The reel slipping is usually just a misalignment on the shaft. You can usually slide them back on with a swift hit on the side of the reel.

    • @grazinggrass

    I’m using a hodgepodge of fence posts, mainly due to the very high shipping costs to Hawaii. I like the ring-top posts, as I can carry a lot of them at a time. I also really like the Kiwitech products. Their fiberglass post system is very flexible and configurable. You can add multiple clips to the fiber glass rods and slide them up or down as needed which I do on the fly over our very uneven terrain. The spools are lightweight and work with another clip system that is something of a Transformer widget - the Release Hook lets you hang a spool on a permanent fence, on a fiberglass tread-in post, and has this “remote” release feature that lets you undo the tag end of a polywire from the spool end across your pasture with a couple of tugs so you don’t have to walk all the way to the tag end to unhook. Hard to describe with words, but Kencove has some videos, and Kiwitech has a number of tutorials on RUclips. I bought several geared reels from Amazon - probably cheap knockoffs of the name brand stuff. They are okay, but heavy when fully loaded with polybraid. I use these on longer runs and if there’s no permanent fence to hang them on in the middle of the pasture, I make a stand with two Tractor Supply fiberglass step in posts (with similar hooks as the O’brien posts) holding up a ringtop post for the reel to hang on. I use the second or third set of hooks to hang the reel, so it is down low to the ground without touching the ground. Think of a capital H, but with the horizontal line closer to the ground. Really quite stable at that level. I also don’t use that H reel stand for anything but holding the reel off the ground. Tension on the polybraid is maintained by other posts, so the suspended reel hangs off the the non-grazing side of the wire. If I plan things well enough, I will have extra line on the reel to close out a section when I change directions.

    • @grazinggrass
      @grazinggrass 6 месяцев назад

      Very nice! I have a friend that likes Kiwitech and I plan to have him on to share more about it. I'll have to try your way of holding up a reel. In the Grazing Grass Community on facebook, Evan from episode 102 talked about using Strainrite step-in post. What island are you on? My wife is from Maui.

    • @kuliatv
      @kuliatv 6 месяцев назад

      @@grazinggrass Waimea, Big Island. Of the various gear I have tried, Kiwitech is my favorite so far. I ended up ordering from them directly because Kencove is often out of stock, and they don’t carry the full Kiwitech line. The long pin tread-in feet, for example, are best for corners or where you need additional strength, but Kencove doesn’t carry that. I did order the Kiwitech micro trough from Kencove, but they don’t carry anything to properly adapt the NZ metric poly pipe to the US standard dimensions. I ended up ordering a section of 25mm poly pipe from Kiwitech directly. Gotta say, the micro trough and Plasson quick disconnects together make it so easy to put water exactly where I need it on the pasture. Check out the technograzing videos from NZ on RUclips - pretty slick stuff. I heard you mention your wife is from Maui. If you are ever back in the islands, hope you can make it out to our place in Waimea! I’ll find you on Facebook. Aloha - Kepano

    Hi. I just came across your channel. Great stuff. I am wanting to learn more about grazing native warm season grasses. I have recently rented a pasture with natives and some wetland areas. I am more familiar with cool season grasses and quite dryland pasture. I would like to better my grazing on this pasture. It got ahead of me last year with growth. As a result, by mid summer, the quality was in decline. Thanks for the help.
