Love your talks, always looking for the next video. Good looking calf. The thing with calving in Jan. is the lack of parricides and flies, but yes it is nice to have them calf on nice green lush fields. Do like the drone shots.
Hey Jason, always looking forward to your videos! Im from Mexico, recently married and dreaming of having our own homestead one day. I find your content very insightful and i love hearing the GOOD WORD of the day in each video!
Thank you. God bless! And I just want to leave you a couple of links that have helped me understand human/plant nutrition. I've always wondered what are all the nutrients people need to thrive and I came across Dr Joel Wallach. ruclips.net/video/0JfPPljmPHw/видео.htmlsi=m-TgXfje1rRPce8j He makes some crazy claims but if only 10% of what he says is true its worth a listen. Another factor when it comes to having more nutrition in our food that most people over look. Is not just soil health but Landrace plants. I'll send you a source for that as well. Hope you'll enjoy and learn something helpful.
Good to see someone else with a long, skinny property, with livestock far away from the house. We’re still on pasture too. Do you have much predator pressure? We’ve had coyotes take sheep and eagles get close. We can’t leave them out there anymore, can’t afford LG dog. Disappointing. Would love to hear you share your heart on the scriptures you read. I love how God speaks through different people. He’s so amazing!
Thanks, Heidi - Our farm is fully fenced on perimeter, that combined with running cattle and sheep together and we don’t have many issues. Our biggest predator is the black vulture on very young livestock. Yes, God is amazing - thank you for the encouragement you bring here!🤠
Do you have own bull or do you use AI? Also thanks for the channel! One of my favourites. We are starting our own 7ha farm at Finland and it has inspired me what you can do in such a small space.
We own and run two intact Devon bulls, never AI’d. The bulls have always done what we’ve needed. Hey, let me know if you do a channel, I’d love to follow! So honored to be a part of your journey in Finland, wow!!
Bauman's use a Brix reading for their fruit butters in their process in Sassmansville, PA. We used it at the commercial dairy to test colostrum. We used 23 Brix or higher
@@birchfieldfarming colostrum was first feeding. After that we used the waste milk from cows that had not tested clear of antibiotics. Only ever tested first milking of colostrum.
When i heard you say you just calved i was gonna ask why January and then you explained it. Do i understand correctly that you’re not separating bulls and heifers at all throughout the year and the calf timing just is whatever it is?
Yes, you are correct. An improved calving schedule for us (being 100% grass-fed) would be for all cows to calve in April/May. This requires a bit more land and effort but is something I’d like to eventually work towards. Hope you’re doing well, Marcus.

Those are indeed two great points about calving when it’s cold! Thanks for watching.

Wow, Mexico! Thank you, John, for the encouraging words. May the Lord lead you further on into peace, hope, and future homestead! Be well, friend.

So interesting to hear of how producers are using Brix. Has me wondering how our current cow with calf would test!
