He's definitely improving, but he needs to try out tighter paddocks, more density and faster moves. Perhaps moving 2-3 times per day would show more improvement faster. Hopefully they are feeding hay where it was cut.

Excelent and well done Stephen, I wonder if you have thought in getting some hybrid Chestnuts to improve the cows diet, besides having protein they are rich in good fats and enhance the flavour of meat. Keep on trucking, All the BEST. Greetings from PERÚ.

very interesting , i thought they would have had some clover in with the grass , where is his nitrogen input or is it big enough not to need it and the cow muck is enough , does he harrow the pasture to spread out the cow pats and they can harbor worms that will infect young stock , but the cattle look in great health , just would have been good to get a bit more of that sort of stuff , i am going to plant a new pasture this autumn with a mix of grasses and clover for regeneration , I am in the UK England and we are getting Government subsidies' to do these things , also what i am planting is for silage crop as the field has no water supply so cannot be grazed , if it works I shall plant another field the next year too , i am worried about the weeds that may creep in to the crop and as i do not think herbicides can be used and of course that is pointless as it will kill the clover which is one of the main reasons of doing it to fix the Nitrogen , If any one has any advice please reply

By the last couple of minutes of the video I presume you're saying this model can't be profitable, am I correct? How feasible would it be for someone who doesn't own a restaurant and would have to live off of the profits made through agriculture to run a vegan farm such as yours? Me and my partner have been considering farming as a professional activity for our future but we're wondering wether veganism would be an impediment. Cheers

Love what this rancher has done for his land and his cattle in his care. I was curious about the kinds of grasses that he use on his pasture. When he had dug it up it felt like the roots of those grasses were short in general and given that he has not tilled or used chemicals on it for 10 years I was a bit surprised, maybe it was an odd patch. The earthworms were a great sign of soil improvement. Would love to know if he uses locally native prairie grass species and if he notices a difference in quality of soil health and cattle health when using those grasses versus non local ones.

‘’Regenerative’’ is a term used by animal agriculture to greenwash their use & murder of animals, the ‘’Regenerative Journey’’ account has videos of Ranching Animals that they say improves the Soil, but Soil does fine without Cows etc. Vegan food growing should be Permaculture and Forest Gardens, which is true regeneration and sustainable. 🌻🌎✊🏽

Hey Robert, thanks for checking out the video and for your comments. Understanding how and where these techniques work is an important conversation to be having. So I appreciate your input. Cattle grazing, and overgrazing in particular, has definitely had a damaging effect in many places all over the US. I don't know much about the Texas Panhandle but I wonder if the damage you've witnessed from cattle grazing can be attributed directly to overgrazing. Do you know of anyone in Texas grazing cattle using techniques similar to Stephen's, e.g. rotationally planned grazing? Do you know if Bison ever historically grazed in that region of Texas?

@@RegenerativeJourney This was Bison country. This was the southern part of the dust bowl. probably about 6" of top soil was lost. Over grazing is the norm here as it takes 30 acres per cow. Also no ranches just millions acres of flat farm land. Many plant wheat to graze. No fertilizing just removal until just grassless dust is left so when it rains the water runs off. Many buy 10 acre and put a few horses and several cows. Real ranchers put 30 ac to the cow. The loess clay loan soil here is some of the best in the world easily producing 280 bu/ac under irrigation.
