Just got by first fiberglass posts to put in high tensile in one of pastures~ Diversified farm in northeast Nebraska. Cattle and grain, currently transitioning to organic grain production. Man, it’s fascinating to see the soil biology come a live, seeing the difference between my gmo fields and organic. The corn leaves and husks started breaking down within weeks after harvest in my organic fields. In my gmo fields you can find cobs and stalks from 2 years ago. Cover crops, trace minerals, shallow incorporation of cover crops. Still more damage when compared to my cattle, but there is a biological difference for sure!
On the way to your place Scott was evaluating fields! By the way he loves the Greg Judy Bale Unroller! Scott and his dad disagreed on mowing around the house.
Deer haven. Greg back in May at your grazing school when I left at the end of the day, I saw several does out feeding in your neighboring pastures. It's amazing that you harvest as many as you do? I thought getting 6 deer for the freezer is considered a lot? Love that venison.😋
We counted two herds of over 20 last year and that was after deer season. The deer population is exploding. I counted 23 dead deer hit on the highway yesterday going to town, that was on a 30-mile drive.
A 6’ fence would stop most deer around here. I never build them over 46” tall, I actually prefer a 42” height. No deer get caught up in our wire this way. If you have a cow that jumps a 42” fence, she belongs in a salebarn.
Thanks for the video! Why mow when you have animals too. What a waste of fuel, time, and wear and tear on the tractor. I’m going have huge work day tomorrow. Going to work on my fence.
It’s called government welfare, they always line up for their cheese money with every drought. This teaches farmers not to think, they always get baled out by the taxpayer.
I had an old timer tell me they had a drought one time so bad that he dropped a 50 foot log chain down a crack and never did hear it hit bottom. Now that's bad.😉
Greg, I've been learning a lot about beavers lately and how they create water habitats for wildlife, even in drought years. Do you have any on your streams? Seems to me it would be a great addition to your efforts to combat global warming! Nothing regenerates the land like pure water, and somehow even the fish come back to these ponds the beaver create-and all for free. It's quite remarkable!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Glad to hear it! If I know beavers, there will be more, and they will enhance your ability to have lush grasses and forbs for your animals, not to mention they create wetlands that cool the planet and increase rainfall!
It would have been helpful to newer viewers had you explained WHY its a bad idea to mow off a hay field in late autumn to get a third load of hay. Always remember that every video is going to have new viewers who may know nothing about this topic.
Starting at 2:49 you must not listen very well. I explained exactly what I was doing. How much residual to leave, how much i took, how long it will be when I come back, etc.

Thanks for the partial best grazing products list! Please, do an updated show n tell of current best products.
Hey Greg always a pleasure learning from you best practices for livestock operations #Pastures #Grazing #Cattle
Thanks!
Rich, thank-you for your super thanks donation to our channel, much appreciated!

Proper pasture planning is critical for winter!😊
Studies show YELLOW is the color you can see from the farther distant. Good call to go yellow 👍👍😊

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Wow that's a lot of deer Greg! When does your firearm season start and how long does it last?
Great advice, Greg.
If I do this would I need to pull those invasives plants?
The deer are thick here in SW Missouri too. We see them going to and coming home from work. Peak deer time, lol.
Greg are you concerned that a 6ft or 4ft perimeter fence would stop the Deer🦌 from running their traditional path thru the property.🤔

They mow it off, bale it, and sell it, because hay prices, due to the drought in the area, are through the roof.
Do you use any type of fertilizer?
Yep that crazy I don't even mow my lawn that low bet his pasture may not come back with the drought you guys are in then what is he going to do?

I wish I could get them for $4! Because I'm in Canada after import fees it would've been $12(CAD) per post!
😊

We have them on one creek area that has a long deep hole of water in it. We also have them in one lake.

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher I would love to see a video about your beavers. People are recognizing how important they are for the ecosystem.
I bet deer feeding on Greg Judy pasture are good eating!

He didn’t bale it for hay, he just mowed it off to make it look pretty. I will try and do better at explaining things.
Literally listened to this entire video and didn’t hear how anything was explained in detail reference strip grazing.
