- How to get clover in your pasture for free every single year! It is extremely important to make sure that you have a full recovery period during the fall growing season to allow clover to set seed on each individual plant. This ensures that you will have a huge seed bank for the next growing season. My new book is going to the printers. If you want to be notified when my new book is available go to this link: eepurl.com/htT0kj
The entire video showed clover and grass. I loved every second of it.
My husband bought 79 acres in the upper Peninsula based on what he has learned from you Greg, Joel Salatin and his Grandpa. We are in the process of moving this summer to establish our farm their. (he grew up on a farm but the suburbs grew around it so it was too much trouble to farm with the harassments from town.) He loves what he has learned from you.
Best of luck to you folks!
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Greg do you think that hair sheep like those you have would be able to handle the Michigan Upper Peninsula winter? My husband was curious, he has followed what you teach about sheep and the parasite resistance you've bred into your sheep interest him but the winters in the UP are longer and colder then Missouri.
@@KaikanoSei Hello, I grew up in Central Wisconsin and habe been to the UP plenty. We have Katahdin sheep which should be fine (people raise them in Maine). But we mix our Katahdins with Dorpers which have a thicker coat and that mixture would be great in the UP. Dorpers and Katahdins have good parasite resistance.
I'm also in Wisconsin and interested in sheep! I had the same question about hair breeds in colder temps during winter. How many are you planning to have on your 79 acres? Anyone know how many sheep per acre Greg has?
@@notbuyingit5698 Thank you.
“ It can heal your soul” truer words have never been spoken! After working for a couple of alphabet agencies I had to get out.....one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Thanks Greg for your enthusiasm it keeps the rough days in check!
There are always more good days than bad days on the farm, keep it up and the best to you.
Great video Greg! Helped me relax while studying for finals and reminded me why I'm in school, to regenerate the land and feed the world. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Greg every time I click on one of your video I always learn something new and very enjoyable to watch thanks for sharing
I really appreciate your videos. We just started our farm this year. We rented about 65 acres surrounding our home and put 30 stocker calves on it to run through the summer. We have been moving them every night. I own a business and the stress load can be pretty rough. Coming home to move these calves every night has made me a better person by far. Getting them moved onto fresh grass and just watching them eat is an incredible stress relief for me. I don't think I would have done it without finding your videos. I really appreciate it!!
That is so awesome, your right, moving animals onto fresh grass is the ultimate stress relief for humans.
I was motivated by Elizabeth and I especially like her statement that she brought her husband so they could get on the same page. I need to get my husband and myself on the same page my son and I already are.
Buying my farm and raising livestock was the best decision I have made in my life for me and my family. It can be hard but when the baby goats start showing up in March and April it makes it all worth it
I can’t tell you how much all your videos help me. Just got started in April of 2020 and I watch your videos right before I go outside to move my herd. Just wanted to say a big thank you!
Your welcome, glad we could help!
Ppl ask me why I farm after working all day as an engineer…you nailed the answer! It fixes my soul each & every day!
Seeing more clover on our place:)Sooooo much better than the old carpet/golf course we did for so many years. Thank you
Absolutely
Greg, grazing school was a blast. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Your insight into this world is going to save me time and money. Take care.
Thanks Dave for being part of our grazing school! The best to you in your farming endeavors.
Very inspired by your videos and knowledge. I run 200+ cows on 650 acres and started adaptive grazing last year. We now have a meat wholesale business selling pork beef and chicken!
Wow that is quite the operation! Congratulations.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher if you are ever down in TN your more than welcome to stop by. Would love to come to a pasture walk some time. Went to Greg Brann’s pasture walk last fall!
Thank you for the information that you share, Mr. Judy. You have given me the keys to unlocking the potential of my farm and my animals are healthier and happier than they’ve ever been! Without you, Jan, and your boys on here, I would still be doing what my family always did. Thanks for showing me a better way!
That's awesome, glad we were some help for you. Best of grazing to you!
The farm looks great and green!
We have finally reached south Missouri and are really enjoying seeing the spring flowers and greening trees.
Can’t wait to see the cows, clover and the Blue Birds out on the farm.
Sounds great! See you guys soon, safe travels.
Hi John, would you be interested in a summer volunteer?
Your grazing school was great! Very thankful for the opportunity to go! I'm a software engineer that can't stand sitting inside all day. I've got to do something different. When we raised pastured pigs it was a huge weight off my shoulders when I would come home in the evening and hang out with them for a bit. -Mike
I enjoy watching your videos. Even though I'm vegetarian, have no livestock, and 8 acres. I raise trees and small fruits.
Your enthusiasm and knowledge is inspiring. I live in one of the highest cattle producing areas in Kentucky. And I don't see anyone out there doing what you are doing. And sometimes I just want to scream when I see the grass eaten down to bare soil. (Sigh.)
Keep on doing what you are doing, and maybe more folks will make a go of it.
Some folks are changing, it takes time. Sometimes a little pain of losing money every year on their farm will make them look at a better way of managing their forage.
That big tent looks like a revival meeting. A revival of the soil and the soul.
A revival of regeneration, to the land, the soil, and the atmosphere
Somebody say "amen." Reverend Judy, LOL.
That is a beautiful clover patch. I bet the wildlife thrive there too.
Love watching your videos. Can't wait to eventually move to our bigger farm and be able to scale up.
Best of luck!
Such a respectful act regenerating land after mismanagement
My goal is to make it to your grazing school within the next year. I'm so glad you started youtubing Greg!
Hey Greg, been watching for a couple of years. I started out with 20 acres and sold that farm moved on to 120 acres here in Wisconsin. Taking corn bean ground and transitioning it to permanent pasture. Taking your principles and applying it to my dairy operation. A few things to modify and make work but excellent information, I watch ever day after milking. 👍
That is great, keep up the good work and remember to have fun.
My time to Relax and Enjoy the Outdoors, w Greg and family !
Beautiful country! Great view of the pond.
Thanks Greg Judy! My regenerative ag journey is still in the research and rehearse phase but in the not too distant future, I’ll be going full bore! Really appreciate you!
Best of luck to you Brad
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher wq_-w
I needed to hear that about moving more quickly just now. I want to clean it up for the landlord, but I sure do need to speed up.
Watch your animals, manage them for high daily animal performance.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Will do! Thank you
@GregJudy do y’all ever let folks with a travel trailer stay on your property for a day or two to check out your operation? Gonna be traveling across country this year would be awesome to check out your farm. Looking great. It’s very inspiring. Thanks as always.
We love the videos of green pastures at Green Pastures Farm!
Looking forward to seeing you this summer when we come to Virginia little sister!
"The land heals your soul" Yes!!
Thanks for all you do Greg , really learning from your videos and applying to my farm
You can call your self a land scaping Healer !!
Hey Greg, I absolutely love your style of video. Always I am thinking about how I can employ some of your principles to where I am and the limited land I have. Your pep talks are also inspiring. Being in nature, those small slices of paradise are what feed my soul too. 👊🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾💨 .
Awesome large land with rich clover plants & grass # i have to study whether cattle love clover & whether it has sufficient crude proteins or not #
We got a lot of clover from spreading lime a few years ago .it's every where now .
Yes it does heal your sole
I could be off doing jobs after work for more money but I enjoy farming too much 😅
Just beautiful!
It was a great school. Can't recommend it high enough. If you are the least bit interested, you should get engaged.
Thanks Kyle for being a part of our grazing school.
Excellent video - Thanks!
This is a seriously good looking farm.
I can just imagine the wild parties going on underneath all that grass. All the microbes, insects and other creatures must be going woop-de-doo!!! We love poo!!!
PARTY TIME!
I never seeded clover in my lawn and I have both white and red.
Hey Greg do you have special speakers , if so the Family From K.C. She would be a good speaker for small family’s farms I think.
Was wondering if this field has a specific type of grass or a mixture of several types. Same with the type of clover present. One type or several….I believe many of us have gardening and farming encoded within our DNA which was tailored by previous generations of family who were farmers. I am an engineer by trade, but it’s much more fulfilling for me to spend time outside, working the soil, growing food and eating and sharing what you’ve grown.
I want to have pastures like that. I’d like highland cattle and the littler really durable goats, a steer calf or two to grass raise for family.
Good luck!
I am amazed at what Gabe Brown grows to let his stock forage thru the ND winter snow. You may not need Scottish Highlands to withstand extreme cold.
Sir Greg If I plant ryegrass it will be works in a pasture land about I hectars
Greg, once the wasps get big eating all the black flies, what eats them? I'm assuming birds, but why wouldn't they eat the black flies?
Update on Arizona? Please?!?
Nothing to update yet, government folks are dragging their feet implementing the grazing program.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher so sorry to hear that. It would be fabulous to see how Arizona could look with good grazing management
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thank you for the update and I'm sorry to hear it's not moving along quickly as we would all love to see.
Phenomenal clover in your pasture!
@@leelindsay5618 I ran across info that said AZ had grasses above the saddles of the first pioneers.
If I take a little clover seed, innoculate it, plant some on the borders and fencerows,maybe some strips in the pasture areas...would it be alright to let it be grazed on during the warm season and then take the grazing off so it can bloom and seed...and keep grazing off until seed matures, then mow to dispurse seed so it can germinate and spread more? Just to reduce the initial seed cost I mean..?
If I just let the wild white clover grow will it take over where I can start a clover yard without buying seed? Thanks
You don’t want your pasture solid white clover. Diversity of different forage species is always best.
What kind of clover did you plant?
That's awesome and so inspiring. I'm working on some of the most devoid soil myself. Keeping hair sheep. Do you feed mixed grass/clover hay? I've heard that the rumen doesn't break down clover seed.
Our sheep do not eat hay, only winter stockpiled forage.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher that's awesome! The hay you unroll for your cows, is it grass/legume? I would love to attend one of your workshops.
Two questions : with this type of forage cover in this video, how many acres would it take to support 170 head of 1000# Momma cows bred back 3n1. Also you mentioned sometime back about a portable shad. Have you ever completed the design?
Them pastures look great, how do you keep wood chuck's in check? Or do you just not worry about it?
We don't worry about them.
How do you keep the yellow weeds out of the pasture? They seem to be everywhere here
Do not overgraze
Greg is a ram good for eating? I listened to Elizabeth’s interview and she said she ate there ram.
yes they are delicious
So gorgeous!
I am going to try this again if you received a previous comment with the same context I’m sorry. Two questions: with this type of forage coverage, in this video, how many mama cows, thousand pounds, bred back would it support? Also you had mentioned in a previous video about a portable shade, have you completed the design?
We are stocked at 2 acres per cow for the year. My builder is still working on the portable shade structure.
Hi Greg roughly what is the stocking density on these 10-12 acres
20,000 lbs per acre
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Thanks I'll try it out and see what happens, I've been stocking at 100 000lbs moving every few hours to try and beat back the orchard grass so the other stuff can fill in and just going to let it rest a little longer
You have no issue with bloat with all that clover Greg or not at all?
No problem ever.
How many cows are on the paddock?
How many grazings per year do your cattle or sheep get from each paddock Greg?
It depends on the growing season and how much moisture we receive. A good average would be 6-7 rotations. On dry years, 4-5.
Greg, if I can’t keep up with the grass should I clip it to keep it from getting steamy and seeding out now.
Yes, clip it off around 7 inches right when you take the cows out of that area that was grazed. Never clip in front of your herd.
Should you turn them on to grass with seed heads or skip it and come back later?
I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of the clover in my grass ☘️
Continuously graze it. 😁
Yep that would certainly put pressure on it. Might kill it.
I believe that is what holds your moisture and keeps it green
It looks that clover is overtaking my grass. I don’t have animals just a garden it sure seems like clover is taking over more & more each year.
White clover has taken over a lot of my pasture when the livestock isn't on it. Wipes out the grass.
Mr Greg time to take the wife on vacation you been workin so hard you go and treat to a few days out and about
Soul revival is good for the soul
I think it is a God given need for mankind to creat with nature and be within in it and bring out the best of nature. Same reason God planted the garden Eden within the Earth. This is the image of what God meant when he told man to "subdue the Earth". Not to enslave it and take from it but to enhance it and tame into something even more amazing and orderly. We have the choice to destroy the Earth or we can plant little gardens of Eden where we have control.
Tam that is a work of art your wording above. I absolutely love your passion and common sense for doing things right with the land. So eloquently explained.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher you just keep inspiring us all. Thank you!
I'm convinced this will be the model for the millennial reign of Christ and that those who are meek are putting it in place.
For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes, eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen; being understood by what has been made, so they are without excuse.
We know and understand God thru nature, starting with the first thing he spoke into existence, sunlight, the basis for all life. If we aren't in the sun for our daily bread, we're starving.
The light is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun. Eccl 11:7
Do you think Solomon might know how to bring about wisdom from a fallen mind?
Greg how can I get one of your bulls ?
Send me an email
Soil revival put it on a shirt 👕
get too much sunshine an no rain in summer peak u get bare ground clover collapes
You need clover in your grass sward to fixate free nitrogen from the air into its root nodules. The grass plants explode with this natural source of nitrogen from the legumes. You will get 40% more production just by keeping legumes in your pastures. When it gets hot and dry, don't overgraze, keep the soil covered with thatch. You will not have bare soil.
@@gregjudyregenerativerancher yes agreed but we are on the border of subtropics and clover been know to collapse late spring due to lack of moisture our rains are late summer mind u this yr best clover strike in 20 yrs due to wet season November to the now east coast of Australia between Sydney Brisbane heavy aluminum clays on shale ph of 4 /4.5
looks like a salad bowl !!
A candy bowl just the good stuff no sugar free hard candy
I love my land and I work 50 hours a week with my normal job.. my cattle have always been my drug to help cope with the rat race of life.. then I got Rocky mountain spotted fever from a tick.. talk about depressing
Hang in there.
Our relationship to light determines if pathogens take hold in us or not. Blue light after dark weakens our ability to flush out the toxins, while natural sunlight sampled throughout the day reverses disease and sets our hormonal circadian rhythm to the dawn baseline it needs to be.
Mold toxicity is very similar to the biotoxons thrown off by the bacteria coming from ticks. The height of my health issues was right after a positive test for anaplasmosis. Redefining my light was the first thing that changed that dramatically. The first thing it changes is the quality of your sleep, where lots of repair and regeneration occurs with melatonin driving it all from mitochondrial processes. Sunlight, earthing, and cold all provide the electrons to create sufficient energy from mitochondria to drive those processes.
Sorry but you're 100% wrong about late spring/summer seed being any good
I’m not sure what your trying to say. Please explain?
....sooo.... How DO we keep clover on the land..?!? Some kinda scatter-brained stuff about energized people in a Tent..? Something about rotational grazing in the Fall..? How 'bout you do this vid all over again.... only THIS time you actually talk about how to keep clover on your land.... year around.... you could call it.... "How to Get Clover In Your Pasture.... Every Single Year..! For Free..!!! Maybe I'll even like it.... and Subscribe..!!!! Nice pasture tho....
