it takes 72 hours for fly to hatch in fresh cow patty, leave them for 3 days make the fly worse maybe move them after 2 days and put the chicken there so they eat the fly larva just a though
Thistles and weeds? You mean goat food! You need a couple goats in your flerd. We are loving your videos! We have sheep, ducks, horses, quail, and chickens and your videos are teaching us SO MUCH about cows and grazing practices. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and beautiful view!
I am just starting a homestead in New Richmond Ohio. Trying to do what you are doing. I am also starting a plant nursery. I have 3 Hoop Coop chicken tractors. Raising Bresse chickens.
Dry places like Texas should rotate every day for 60 days = 60 paddocks. This will work if they add chickens (wait 3-5 days) once the livestock leave the paddock.
Do you think a grass fed operation like this would be reasonable on a total of 5 acres, possibly with a smaller herd and paddocks? And do you have any book or other resource recommendations to start the educational process? Husband and I just purchased 6 acres in East Texas to establish a productive homestead and I am fascinated with this as a possibility for us. Thank you in advance!
im in Texas, Since there is no regrowth at the moment im going to keep them in most paddocks longer and giving them some protein like some alfalfa maybe some flaxseeed meal to help them digest the dry forage. my first paddock i grazed will be a sacrifice paddock since its had the most rest if i get to the point of running out of grass before it rains.
Hi from the Waikato in New Zealand. Like you we are on four acres with fodder/timber on all our boundaries. Inside we have blocks of nut and fruit which we run cattle and sheep between. I’d like to make a couple of comments if I may please. First, you are a natural teacher- been watching for a while now and your style of imparting your learning is easy and a pleasure to watch
Great video and definitely informational. The rotational grazing system you are using mimics Joel Salitins (sp) system with his pasture poultry program. I read a book published by a pioneer of this system (Dr. Allen Savory) who used this system as a means of reversing desertification in Africa. What amazes me, actually what is astonishing about your approach is you have pushed the limits of their research far beyond their parameters and are getting outstanding results. Based on their theory your current animal load should be covering 5 acres divided in 10 paddocks with a minimum of 30 days rest each. You are doing it on less than half that and receiving the same results (lush green pastures). You should definitely document your inputs and results for study.
Been watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and creative expertise in animal care and rotational grazing. Subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Watching from Brown county Texas. Praying for you, your wife and family and that you are blessed in all that you set your heart and mind to accomplish for His Devine Kingdom. (KJV John 1:4. “In Him was life, and that life was the Light of men.” 5. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.”) ☝️🙏🙌

Very impressed with your system and animal count 👏

Finally more content! Been waiting on this, thank you for sharing!
Pertaining to keeping bees, don’t harvest the honey for the first 18-months. Harvest once every June after that and no more.

Amen hallelujah
Your statement about a sacrifice paddock if you can't continue the rotation is spot on! The longer you can leave the pasture, the faster it recovers.
