That's awesome news for Joel! The rancher is one lucky guy or girl to have you run their operation, keep spreading the regenerative way of ranching. Joel I wish you the very best on your new adventure, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! I almost didn't recognize Isaac with them whiskers, I would say Isaac is preparing for a long cold winter.
Excellent sunset and beautitul grazers. I got to watch a few deer grazing my "stockpile" out the kitchen window this morning. I don't clip nearly as closely or as frequently as I used to, and I've seen a big increase in the deer using my fields. I also leave a bit standing from one mowing to the next. I'm even going to offer them some grain-but then that's a donation to the crows, squirrels, deer and whatever else finds it. Last year on the bleakest week of all, roads were iced for a week and work in town was cancelled, two mature bucks took refuge and bedded out of the wind, in plain sight of my kitchen window. Everything benefits from more soil life, and more grass and forbes left to harbor it. You'll do well Joel. You've learned the basics and they work everywhere animals graze. Dynamicism is key, never get too set in any way. Some ways are better, all things are trade-offs. Work hard and live well.
Greetings from Iceland. Love your videos Greg, good looking cattle. Wish we could this here in the South of Iceland, but very wet fall and winter and cold and short summers make it tricky. but im looking into it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video! It looks beautiful there especially grazing as the sunsets. Best of luck to Joel! It was great watching Joel as the year went by seeing how he helped and improve your grazing management as he was learning on the way!
Greg, i love your videos. Can you go into detail on what you're seeing in that new pasture that makes you know there is enough for them to eat? To a layman it looks like a field they would have just come off off with nothing over a few inches. Thanks!
The next rotation in February will be set by giving them this same field supplemented with some unrolled hay. That leased field was clipped in August, landowner asked for that every year on this farm. We clip at 9”, that was what they were turned into. If we had gotten any rain at all during August through October we would have grown much more stockpile. Every year is different, that’s what makes grazing challenging and exciting!
And just like it's normally colder -right after- daylight and sunrise, we still have the coldest parts of Winter to endure despite the seconds of light added each day from now. We'll have three more minutes of daylight by the end of the year, thirty minutes by 22 January, and a full hour by 6 February. Hope we all have a mild one.
We appreciate Isaac and Joel
I've met Joel and his mom at the grazing conference. A terrific young man from a wonderful family. I wish you the best, Joel.
JOEL, we've enjoyed watching you work with Greg and Issac🤠. We wish you a wonderful JOYOUS future.👍
Merry Christmas from our paddocks to yours! #naturalgramma

Same to you Hank!

Our new ewes are "making a living" on the pasture. They eat standing hay and birth their lambs without a barn. I am grateful for a mild winter so far.

gregjudyregenerativerancher. Thanks for the info. How do you feel about broadcasting rye and clover in the fall to cut back on hay?
days are getting longer now

How long a walk back to the water?
