Greg these boys are very fortunate to have a male role model and senior cattlemen to teach and show them the way. Both in life and in cattle etc. They seem to have gotten a good start from their folks, but you're adding a nice touch to that and they will be able to be that to other young men someday in the future. With the average age of today's farmer being 60 years old, this is all the more important. God Bless you, always enjoy your videos. Glad to see you have gotten more rain than us here in N Arkansas.
It takes more than water to grow that. SOIL LIFE. Absolutely beautiful. I watch Heavenly farm channel great guy. What kind of fence do you use to keep the girls from town away from your interns.
Great crew doing a great job. Hopefully, Ben, and Jan and all are well also. Envious of the folks who bought that great bull. Thinking about new farm handle, Green Envy Farm. Lol, na. Counting our many blessings and thankful. 👍
Good for you. I tried it this winter, and couldnt get through it. I think you should try a channel. If you don't edit like Greg it probably wouldn't be that hard, but you would have to be genuinely interesting. I'll check ya out.
I think you must be a time traveller, thanks for the glimpse of tomorrow it is Thursday here 😊I am going to make it to Friday around midnight in the traditional way hopefully with about three hours of sleep though! Thank you for the smile 😊 I think that you are doing pretty good you are in the right month. Oops I just looked at the time I meant to tell some of the Frank Price story but I gotta say live long and prosper 🖖 and I will see you tomorrow 👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖💝❤️💝🌟💝❤️💝🙋🏼♀️
Your videos have provided so much inspiration, encouragement and knowledge! After a lot of years dreaming, our family finally bought a home on 40 acres in middle Georgia that's over 90% wooded. We're super excited to start converting it to silvopasture bit by bit and to get animals out there.... after fence and water points. =) With a lot of hard work we're hoping our little piece of land will look as beautiful as the ones in your videos. I've watched over a dozen of your videos on fencing and chargers but I haven't seen one on how/where to setup the charger and connect it to the fence. It would be a big help if you'd do a demonstration video on that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion!
I had a bull the other day mangle a 12 ft section of panel and get out. Put it back up he went right for it. Ran a section a hot string across 2ft in front of the gate. Stops him dead in his tracks. Amazing what that little string will do lol. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us!
having to do the same thing, work, rest and drink water, work, just as hot here in KY as in TX coast that I left and more ticks. anyone know if there is a market for ticks? I have lots of big ones but no papers so there all commercial!!!
I question the return on investment for mowing. It's expensive to mow, the cost of the equipment plus the labor. I would like to hear people's thoughts. Thanks for all you do! Your a major inspiration...
@Mr Sigma wow, you are a grazing genius. Sound a bit jealous of Greg, though. You must get triggered seeing all that grass and those fat cows. Cheer up, buddy.
Good mornings to ya! We pull great rag weed and lay it down for our free range chickens when confined in yard or coop (because of predators or bad weather). They strip it down to stalk and we use the dry stalks for kindling. Animals have good taste😉. Thats an unintended pun, but i claim it.🙄👋 For sure will visit Jorge's web page👍😃
Jeez we need the spring and summer plus the accompanying rains here in S.A. We just lost 220 000 acres in a veld fire which completely destroyed 37 farms. Because of this annual problem we just HAVE to set a few acres apart to plant, bale and store feed.
Grass management can provide a family a very profitable livelihood and high quality of life at the same time. I highly recommend it, but you must get educated to do it properly.
I'm not sure what the context was with regard to Greg's comment about the clovers however, Red clover can be a vasodilator for cattle grazing on toxic fescue where as white clovers don't seem to offer that benefit.
so is there a down side to clipping pastures other than the time and fuel it takes to get it done? It's an ongoing debate between me and my Grandpa about clipping or letting it grow...
Clipping every other year helps keep the young thorn trees and other woody type plants from taking over your pastures. We only clipped about 10% of our farms this year, the rest is non clipped. It is getting a bit late to be clipping now, winter stockpile growth has started here in mid Missouri,
Anyone have suggestions on how to find people to lease pasture? Am looking to buy property and like idea of keeping cows on it, particularly if it’s managed like this. Have never farmed or ranched and not willing to commit to continuous care as I want to be able to take extended vacations. Maybe when I’ve actually retired from full time desk work...
You mentioned early in the video that you clip after the cattle come through, but later you say that you brush hog at least every other year. Pardon the newbie question, but what is the difference between clipping and brush hogging?
Clipping allows you to control invasive trees and thorny bushes while also keeping your plants in a vegetative state that allows you to have better animal performance. We only clipped about 15% of our farm this year, the woody plants were coming in particular thick in these areas.
When you had your 2 heat strokes even though you were drinking tons of water, were you drinking DISTILLED water? (never do that, distilled water simply sucks all nutrients away)
Those kids should get a calf or two on their own and in due time they have some extra income , plenty of grass, as long as they are working for you ✌️💵😎
I was given a pink eye blinded angus heifer by a friend of the family that dad custom grazed for….by the time I graduated high school she had banked me thousands to help pay for college 👍👍and down payment on first house
I think beekeeping and grass feed cattle would be a good combination. The clover alone would provide a bunch of honey. And also let the locus get a bit bigger. Nice pure raw honey free of insecticides. Harness the power of the Sun through a nice steak and some sweet honey.
Did I understand you to say you leave the bulls in with the cows all year long and you do not care if your caving all year long? Thanks for responding! Darrel

Yes, I really want to go there to get a new life. Thank you for sharing this views
"I get the cold chills just looking at this beautiful forage." Quote of the year!!
I get blown away not only by your pasture but the condition on the cattle. Bonus is everyone on your farm is enthusiastic.
Thanks for the plug Greg! We have a great role model.
I just subscribed...I can't wait to see how you are doing!

Kudos to Greg for pouring wisdom and knowledge into the next generation of producers. Glad to see such an active intern program.
Just finished Andre Voisin's Grass Productivity and was pondering a Greg Judy inspired RUclips channel for those of us on the smaller farms.
Check out @Rob Mackey
He's running 5 or so dexters on 10ish acres and directly applies Greg's style in his vids.

I will have to do a video on setting up a charger.
You don't usually have a conversation with your interns. Sharing with my daughter to check them out. Lol! Thank you!

@Gerald Last I heard, Ticks Don’t need papers or a License 🤭
I Love Spider Webs especially first thing in the morning. Beautiful Pasture Picture Perfect. God Bless and Peace from WV
One day it would be awesome to own some land and livestock, but only as long as you can take care of it just like you. Great videos love watching them
That sure is beautiful country. I love the look of the unclipped paddock, like being at a state park. Wish my landowners felt the same way haha
awesome large lush green pasture with abundant forage grass # use umbrella to block direct sunlight exposure & keep good hydration #

Really interesting demonstration.
You’re a good man Greg!
Very informative. Thank you guys.

Its expensive to loose a good lease property as well. Remember your in the land beautification business.
@Mr Sigma you must a Harvard Man. You can always tell a Harvard Man but you can't tell him much.
I like to clip pastures at least twice a year.
@Mr Sigma Well articulated.
@Mr Sigma wow, you are a grazing genius. Sound a bit jealous of Greg, though. You must get triggered seeing all that grass and those fat cows. Cheer up, buddy.

Had a heat stroke working on rebuilding a chimney once. Never been the same!
Wish we had some of your rain, it's blistering hot and dry here in Montana.
Connor fits right in!!
Great job guys!
Greg you guy are grass crazy!! I think you like the grass more than the cows!! Ha! Nice forage!
Grass management can provide a family a very profitable livelihood and high quality of life at the same time. I highly recommend it, but you must get educated to do it properly.
"... He's such a mild Old Bull ..." 13:06 ........ that's my aspiration in life
Just subscribed to Heavenly Farms channel.
Now THAT is a bumper crop of beautiful land.
9:50 why is red clover better than white? Red clover seems like it’s nothing but stem when it’s tall like that?
I'm not sure what the context was with regard to Greg's comment about the clovers however, Red clover can be a vasodilator for cattle grazing on toxic fescue where as white clovers don't seem to offer that benefit.

Can y’all do a separate video on 814? Show us his characteristics?
That is some good forage
You guys are great stewards of God’s creation. Beautiful pastures !
What type of weed is at 9:35? That is getting a good start here and has not always been around. I think that is the same weed.
I use an app called “iNaturalist” to identify plants and insects. Give it a try.
Anyone have suggestions on how to find people to lease pasture? Am looking to buy property and like idea of keeping cows on it, particularly if it’s managed like this. Have never farmed or ranched and not willing to commit to continuous care as I want to be able to take extended vacations. Maybe when I’ve actually retired from full time desk work...

You got a couple rugged looking boys 💪
i booku dont say about clipping coukd u pls say more about it ?
Clipping allows you to control invasive trees and thorny bushes while also keeping your plants in a vegetative state that allows you to have better animal performance. We only clipped about 15% of our farm this year, the woody plants were coming in particular thick in these areas.
How much did 814 sell for?
When you had your 2 heat strokes even though you were drinking tons of water, were you drinking DISTILLED water? (never do that, distilled water simply sucks all nutrients away)
I'm pretty sure one can run out of salt and electrolytes even drinking good well water.
Ironweed fattens up the sheep too, but heck yeah, the more species intermingling the merrier. Glad Humanity is beginning to understand this.
Those kids should get a calf or two on their own and in due time they have some extra income , plenty of grass, as long as they are working for you ✌️💵😎

We have bee hives on many of our farms
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher you should do a video on them
Circle back with us in December and give us an update.
Did I understand you to say you leave the bulls in with the cows all year long and you do not care if your caving all year long? Thanks for responding! Darrel
No I did not say that. We put bulls in July 1st, they come out March 1st. This keeps us from having cows calve in the winter months.
How low did you clip?
8-10" height
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher and the regrowth is how tall?
Do South Pole cows produce A2 milk
what is clipping?
Cutting the tips off the mature forage to allow it to grow tender new palatable forage for livestock.
rest is bad for land, recovery is good.
Once land is grazed it needs rest to reach recovery status!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher It needs recovery from the impact. Rest is a term rangeland "experts" use when they remove livestock from the land.
Looks like the garden of Eden.

Guys - BUY GREG a Calendar Watch !!
That would ruin all the fun!
