For all the people who are confused about his initial bits about sunlight. IIRC it's actually atmospheric carbon that makes the mass, but the sun does provide the energy.
Hey Growing! Did Joel say how many times the paddocks were grazed a year? I heard him say that the plot he was standing in they would not come back to again.
We do managed grazing similar to Polyface and it totally depends on your area and how fast the grass go back. I'm up in Saskatchewan, Canada and we can usually get 2 passes in a season (june-oct). Lots of factors play into it and it varies week to week what might be possible, but generally you have a baseline average for your area. The lower you graze the longer the recovery. The less rain the slower the re-growth. We pushed our cattle through the pasture pretty quick in June and then we can hit it again July/August. And depending on August rain/heat we might be able to get it again in September/October until we are froze out with winter.
Shawn thank you for your response. We are in Delaware so conditions are right for 5-6 maybe even 7 passes I just didn't know from the video if the standard was one pass. I thought that was a shame and was going to be a hindrance since I don't have enough space to graze only one pass.
Wish parent would notice ohhh someone’s taping this maybe I should walk away from the guy recording because my child doesn’t understand. But alas parents are in their own world.
Joel running 400 cow days per acre and his neighbor only getting 80 cdpa. Presumably he's 5x more efficient with land. Yet Joels beef is 4x more expensive than his neighbor. Something doesn't add up.
Thank you for videoing and posting this Growing Goodwin’s!
I loved hearing your daughter talking. Very cute and it's wonderful you're starting the next generation so early.
Great recording of the kids. That dam farmer kept interrupting though....
It must be some frustrating to try to give a seminar with people making so much noise
Right! And to think people paid for this
And there is a reason for kids kept quiet in church, and this was a teachable video.
thank you for sharing!
Joel is showing out. He's got those cows so trained.
The kids drowning out the speaker
The cycle of life as Joel Salatin presents take some of those mystical sun beams and grow some patience
No the parent should see the recording and move away.
I'm happy listening to the next generation being educated.
Inspiring work.

“Let’s bring our 3 month old to the lecture” day
Can't hear much of what he said. Too bad. Joel needs to be heard!

He means 2020. I'd say he will re graze in the spring.

I think he said 5th time in the video. Which I could see that in his area with more heat and moisture and longer growing season.
Thank you Solar for your response.

how can his cow days per year be 400? there's only 365 days in a year?
It’s 400 cows not days
It’s cow days per acre. Meaning he could run 400 cows per acre for one day or a single cow could be sustained on slightly less than a acre for a year.
Baby setters ....just say'n
It is a courteous common sense show of respect.
Why’s he standing so far away from the group?
If you want a good recording, don’t stand next to the loudest toddler in the group.

Perhaps this is filmed by a parent?
I hope the parents see these comments. Them maybe the light will come on.
Can’t hear bc of the kids

Its called marketing
Grass fed beef is premium non-gmo yum.
"Management intensive" is the key. More efficient for the animal and the land...but it's much more labor intensive.
Yeah, the neighbor is doing things the conventional way.
You can't possibly be this stupid 🙄
Shut those kids up!!!!
8:25 fwearing facemask in the nice fresh air and sunny day? Pathetic
Focus on yourself
I swear to God every time Joel tries to teach anyone anything all you hear is screaming spoiled brat kids 🙄
Pour kid is bored. Sorta ruined the video.
