Thanks for your Great Video and reivew! We LOVE Trudave boots a lot

Great message at the end!

I've got a big portion of my farm that doesn't have shade. Next time we speak I will explain what I do. Too hard to type out. I love what you have going on there.

Well said and put together.

Where is Knox? He is the star of this channel, and we need to see him

I had to laugh, they had step in posts at my Menards .....in downtown Chicago! thanks for your tips and tricks

You got any females for sale?

Just remember weather forecasters motto: if they don't know, they'll say "scattered showers," and if they REALLY don't know, they'll say "widely scattered showers"

Hopefully you can get relief with some rain.

Discovering non selective grazing has been a God sent blessing. Currently we need around 9200 cow days a year to feed our herd. I just completed a forage survey today and the results are astonishing. Without growing another blade of grass we have almost 14,000 CD of stockpile ahead of us and that doesn’t include the additional 63 ac farm we’re resting. I never imagined we’d be grossly understocked in less than a year of practicing this “stupid” method lol. WOW is all I can say.

Praying you get that rain bud👍

Another great video brother

Watch your breeding bulls' dams' udders...

Can’t remember if you said, where did you get your South Polls?

Moderate framed south poll hanging weight vs big black angus hanging weight. Sure there’s a difference but is it considered to con to the south polls or so you think you still come out on top

Great video brother,that’s the way I graze ,strips and a new break twice a day

Ditto! I’ve been able to meet a bunch of great people too, like yourself . I appreciate you Mark👍

Love the hat brother! Stay cool in the heat

How deep are you gonna bury the water tube? Keep in mind it could freeze. If you're not going below the frost line, maybe figure out a way to evacuate the tube in the coldest winter months.

Vocal ewe: coming into estrus? calling her young lamb(s)?

A few goats would take care of the multiflora roses

Plant diversity = nutrient diversity.😊 Great job! Mono-crop = nutrient challenged.😢

Just found your channel. Kind of therapeutic. Ladies look good.

Howdy Mark

Well, they aren't the brand #GregJudy wears, let's see how they hold up!

I need you to keep me posted on these. I need to get some but I am cheap so I want to make sure I get a good product.

So did they pass the "smell" test?

I do use the acronym KISS keep it simple STUPID occasionally. Actually I use it pretty rarely...Dennis

I’m going to start feeding biochar free choice to my cattle. A few of my girls are still holding a little hair. Jim suggested I give it a go. He said it helps them slick off fast and what a great delivery system to get it in the pastures inoculated. Supposedly the manure will turn black if you feed enough. I’m doing it👍

Well said

Could you not give it a light grazing, stimulate the grasses and plants that the cows will eat to grow

Great video brother ,I’m in the same shape you are ,I’ve been selective grazing a few years and am switching to a non selective grazing program so far cattle looking really good ,we are dry here in Virginia and the way it looks by slowing them down as much as I have I’m looking at 80-90 days recovery in contrast to the 30- 40 days while selective grazing ,80-90 days is a game changer for me and a lot of time to catch some rain ,I heard the same thing your talking about ,but you never know until you try ,but I know one thing if I’m out of grass they are definitely out of grass

Thanks for all your hard work and content.

Good video. I think most of what we see and hear is well intended but it does come across the wrong way sometimes. Everyone just finds what works for them and they think it is the best so they want to share what they are doing. We should probably all learn to just share what is working on our farms instead of claiming to have the best way or the most profitable way. I think a lot of us do not want others to mess up or make the same mistakes we’ve made so we try to defend what we know works. If you put enough guys together anything will turn into a competition though. Lol

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy following along with what you’re doing.

Just now getting to finish the video. You are 100% correct! Context matters. Also, doing what you can and what works best for you is better than doing nothing at all. You keep on my friend. I am learning from you and I hope to help you a little along the way!

Keep grinding and start digging!

Folks just need to accept that there's more than one way to skin a cat. Everyone's land is different, their resources are different, their motives are different, their physical limitations are different, their schedules are different, their entire environment is different. Everyone who farms or homesteads has developed their methods based on what works for them on THEIR farm. So lighten up folks. Remember the Golden Rule. Treat everyone like you want to be treated.

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤

Enjoyed

Maybe it's meant to be playful banter - I hear buddies talk like that sometimes.

Correct bro

Amen! Context is key! Thank you for your channel!

Drilling in some cereal rye, vetch, and either turnip or radish in the fall may help with the weeds next summer it will also improve the soil. Native summer grasses like big blue stem, indian grass, and blue grama can be started now in seed cells and transplanted in the fall when they are big enough. You will have to keep them protected and not grazed for a few years until they can get established and start to self seed and spread into the pasture. Since they are a clump grass we set them out on the pastures edge.

Amen brother

Do you do much strategic bush hogging on some of those tough weeds?

Rest is important for people too. Even the Lord rested on the 7th day

Great variety of plants pulling up a variety of nutrients for the herd to consume!

Have you tried trampling in a tight inclusion zone with ultra-high stocking density for 15 to 30 minutes?

If you know a wood turner, that tree might be of interest...
