[@sandrapereira2138]

Hello from Portugal! We have a small farm so we love to see your videos. Lots of similar things..and challenges.

[@farmingnodak]

Very good! It's a reason why I always look forward to nice days in the winter time to find a nice, clean place out in the pasture, plus cows get good exercise too instead of being cooped up close to the shelters. Even if some places get more trash over the winter, going over with a light drag/harrow helps a lot to get it stirred up and spread thinner around the pastures better; that might be a cheaper/efficient alternative then having to use a spreader. Where there's a lot, hauling out manure with a spreader is the best way.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Farming 4G. I like the harrow method too.

Many dairy farmers are using digesters to turn manure into RNG Renewable Natural Gas. It's transported by pipelines throughout the nation and thousands of truckers use it for fuel. UPS bought 170 million gallons last year. Municipalities are paying to dump sewage sludge in the digesters. This could be a revenue source for the farm or converted to electricity by numerous generators that run on natural gas and sold back to the electric company. Clean Energy Fuels is the largest seller of RNG in the USA with 504 stations located around the country. Their website has much information on the subject including videos.

How do you gather up the manure

[@KellysAdventures305]

Do you tend to your cattle's hooves? I know your cattle is not as tame as dairy cows but hoof management can be important. Does your cattle wear down their hooves enough or do you have hoof trimmers come out for them? If you have trimmers come out, can you do an episode on hoof trimming? That would really be great! Good Farmer, lots of beer for you!

Sounds very interesting to me what you're talking about. A few days ago I stumbled across Greg Judy Regenerative Rancher, he also talks about this topic among other things☘️💫

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

I watch Greg Judy he has an amazing system of grazing. Mike is doing a great job in Wyoming by rolling out hay and moving his cattle. Do you have live stock.

[@steveaguinaga3821]

In my opinion.... Greg Judy has the best and only way that should be practiced. Maximizing soil health and productivity of grasses for foraging. Catching rain water directly into soil like a sponge with least runoff. While feeding and attracting wildlife. Requiring virtual no tractor work.. Tho i love tractors

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

@@steveaguinaga3821 absolutely his practices are amazing. I'm going to try and replicate it on my micro farm. I would like to do sheep but can't afford a guardian dog. Probably 2 feeder Calfs of course ill have to train them to hot wire. I have my perimeter fence just waiting for my forage to grow.

[@g.s.7022]

David Hickenbottom = I am sorry no but I’m very interested in sustainable agriculture, and I really like how these two men run their farms.

[@hairymanonetwo]

@@davidhickenbottom6574 Greg Judy.....never talks about management of manured pasture lands ! A cow will not eat grass contaminated with manure ! Up to 2 years they will not touch that same area to eat the grass ! Imagine if you had manure beside your plate at dinner time ! He centers his videos only around " carbon" ( I call it organic farming ). He will never talk about the incorporation of fertilizer and with enough rain ( water ) a person can double the production of grass. That includes hay. Which he despises With rotational grazing and use of fertilizers.....hay making. Ive rotational grazed milk cows for over 40 years. Greg Judy is not misleading....just not being honest with himself !

I see what you did there, poop talk!! I saw on a TV show about a dairy farm that collected it's poo, and from there dumped it in to large collection under ground, with this the methane was collected, and that was how they heated their home, and a couple other buildings. It wastes went from there to a pond like with a liner under it making it water proof, and the stuff would evaporate. I saw this, I believe, on Dirty jobs long ago. Like to see your what you thoughts our on something like that. Now some where along the way, I started to watch for your videos, So I felt it would be easier just to subscribe, and hit the little bell.

Good work of explaining how to use manure mike, although it's common sense..lol but inerways we always stockpile our cows waste/ bedding materials form them cuz when you get down in to the yellowish buildup underneath that stuff is way too strong, which that's the part of nature is breaking stuff down, to sweet it up, so we compost it, not only it ruts off seeds but it turns it to sweet, rich black gold if you do it right..lol but inerways good video.👍

[@OurWyomingLife]

Your right Randy. Thankfully we dont have to deal with that bottom layer very often as some have to. Thanks for watching Randy.

Our Wyoming Life yer welcome, glad you understand what I was saying.

[@jamesbrodie2960]

What population of dung beetles do you have on your property??

[@highstandards6226]

Then too, there's the eco-compomposter, a constantly turning tube that composts manure rapidly, but not necessarily odourlessly. Can handle MUCH more manure, and even carcasses than a natural pile in a shorter amount of time, just because of the constant air exposure by the rotation and falling from one side of the tube to the other...I believe its known as "Bio-digester" I'm not affiliated with it, simply impressed.😎

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for the info High standards.

[@jbweld6193]

The dairy industry has this perfected with a digester system and methane capture systems, many make enough kw power to sell excess back to the grid for additional revenue. Other option is the "lagoon" which are pretty nasty smelling.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Your right there JB. When you think about it. How much poop does it take to power the farm and sell back the excess power? ALOT

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching Myron, I sure your thought & comment is shared by alot of people.

[@tomkelly8827]

There are a few large dairy farms near me in Ontario, Canada and they have opted for the biogas digesters for their manure. The fertilizer is still spread on the fields after digesting but all the methane is collected before it escapes into our noses. They both are running large natural gas generators and selling the electricity back to the grid. Surprisingly their electricity cheque is comparable to their milk cheques each month. I know the one in Lindsay is producing enough electricity to power 450-500 homes! It seems like a really good use of shit! Oh and also there is a screw that takes the fibres out of the poop slurry and it is dried for bedding as well. It looks like a very very good use of resources to me. Oh and also the barn in Lindsay has heated floods from the excess generator heat and their house is heated from it too and with warm floors the cows have had less hoof rot issues then they did before. Check out Greenenergyfutures.ca if you want to see the one in Lindsay

You stated that each cow generates about 12 tons of poop per year. Let’s assume a steer does about the same. One steer yields about 1/4 ton of meat. So that means for every pound of beef we eat, we have to deal with nearly 50 pounds of steer poop. Now you understand why Burger King’s “Impossible Burger” is so interesting: it generates no poop!
