After watching many of these videos. I've come to the conclusion that the world needs more Gregs, Bens, and Isaacs. Good stuff Maynard! 🇺🇸🐮💪❤️

[@4philipp]

To summarize fencing success: - use Hi-Tensile perimeter fence #12 - use Timeless posts - get a spinning Genny - attach powerful fence charger - kidnap Ben & Isaac to do the work It’s so easy :)

[@Digger927]

ROFL!

[@davemi00]

☝🏼🥵

[@grand3589]

Thats a good summary

[@tammoilliet8683]

I love those open end crimps, I call them "forgot to crimps". Because I always forget to put on a standard crimp before I terminate the wire😂

[@davemi00]

Just enjoying these vids Greg, as always.

[@marvinbaier3627]

Thanks for all your videos. Have a great day!

[@StoneBasses]

would love to see the same area after the flerd hammers it.

[@polehenge8237]

Very informative video thanks Greg.

[@tammoilliet8683]

I've made those same gates using Timeless posts but you do have to wire on a wood 1x2 to the Timeless post to stiffen it up.

[@Digger927]

Your school last year I attended has been money well spent Greg, I learned so much from fencing to cattle care to sheep care. My new HT fence I built for cattle a few weeks ago is working great. I put a stafix 18 fencer on that fence with 200 watts of solar and two truck batteries and man you talk about hot! I got out of the ranger the other morning to check sheep nearly a quarter a mile away from the far corner of that cattle fence and I heard something popping, I thought it was odd I couldn't tell what was clicking. I went to the cattle waterer next to check that and I could hear the clicking louder, I was still 300 yards across the paddock but I could tell there was a short. Checked the fence and it was still hitting 10.5 KV. Walked over to the other corner where the short was and I had a cracked porcelain insulator. That charger was throwing a spark all the way across that insulator and had it burnt. That blue spark looked like a welding rod arc! I replaced the insulator and it went back to 12.5kv. I hope I never get hit by accident by that thing, it scares the crap out of me. It's so hot my stafix fence tester starts beeping before I get it on the fence from the static I guess, lol.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Wow that is a very hot charger!

Thanks again for this very informative videos. May please go over some number in terms of labor cost and how many cows you need to have to cover one man working for you. I like to buy a land and hire someone to do the labor.

[@zacharygee9774]

I see them knipex linemans. Favorite tool on my belt

[@alstonbetts4646]

Thanks for the video.Greg, how would you run a hot wire along an old woven wire fence? Thanks from NC AB

[@faaraoful]

I know you've previously talked about the mineral feeder but if you could elaborate on e.g. which mineral deficiencies cause certain issues and what might cause mineral malabsorption , I'd appreciate it. thx!

[@marvinbaier3627]

He gets his mineral from www.freechoiceminerals.com. They might help you on what you might need since they sell the mineral in cafeteria style. Just in case you need an answer sooner but Greg is pretty good at answering questions quickly.

[@triciahill216]

Do you prefer to go above ground or underground with your gateway wires? If underground, do you use a conduit pipe to run your wire (double insulated?) through? Maybe a good video topic. Thank you.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

I like to go over the top of gates

[@leelindsay5618]

Careful, Greg! Making videos can be dangerous going up and down hill. Don't forget about the bees. Have a great day!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Great video Greg! Thanks...watch out for the bumblebees! #stoneyridgefarmer

I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@elibryce7297]

@Abdiel Yosef instablaster :)

[@abdielyosef4896]

@Eli Bryce i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@abdielyosef4896]

@Eli Bryce it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@elibryce7297]

@Abdiel Yosef glad I could help =)

[@brianpritt4154]

Greg,. With your paddocks so lush with grasses what do you do about the vegetation touching the fence? I spend a good bit of time trimming under mine but I don't have anywhere the amount of fence that you do.

[@Msmora76]

If i understood correctly he keeps the fence powered always so grasses growing up get burnt and die from the shocks!!

[@wadepatton2433]

Why not use spar varnish, for the UV blockers? (in the place of enamel paint)

[@c6farms952]

When do you normally start brushing pastures

[@bigwhane8603]

Greg what pocket knife do you carry? What other tools? Pliers?

[@notunauthorized]

What do you recommend to drill the deadmen or other rods in the ground

[@chadgrantham255]

Do you have any predator issues with the 2-wire fence? How do you fill your posts with foam? Thanks as always

[@davemi00]

I believe that’s how those posts are made. Timeless PVC - T & H Posts come filled w/a very hard foam.

[@drdaveyjones6216]

Nice video. Did anyone ever tell you that you sound like Woody Harrelson?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

All the time sir!

[@davehency8744]

Greg what kind of foam should you use to fill posts ?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Our posts all come filled with foam

[@paradoxchild01]

The timeless posts are 4ft with the underground space or is that just above ground. Trying to figure out how tall to buy fences for cows and especially goats.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

You'll need woven wire for goats electric will not work.

[@tammoilliet8683]

I don't own goats but I can't see anything getting thought a 4' high electric fence (you would need the 5.5' or 6' tall posts as they go 1.5'-2' in the ground) with a hot wire every 3" up to 2.5' , then every 6" up to the top and make sure you have the hottest charger you can afford. You can also hook up your wires in Bipolar or Hot/Ground to get a hotter shock, look those up. You might want to put the posts closer together too like ever 15' and you can also get PVC Timeless droppers in 4ft tall which actually makes a physical barrier by stopping the wires from spreading. That would be quite a fence but woven wire would still be more expensive and take longer to build and you would need to use wooden posts every 12ft or else the wire sags if you get any snow build up. Just phone Plastic Innovation from there website number and any of those guys (Brad, Josh, Brandon or Mike) will give you amazing advise. They have every type of customer.

[@cpt.moroni3092]

Those timeless posts are $10 each, does that seem like the right ones?

[@gizzysgarden226]

Is that a perimeter fence or paddock? Other videos I've watched called for a 5 wire perimeter fence and one wire poly braid for paddocks. Is a 2 wire high tensile a sufficient perimeter?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

If your livestock are well trained to hot wire a 2 wire fence can hold them. If your farm lays next to a busy road, use 5 wires. You will sleep better at night!!

[@loganyoutube4818]

Not related to the video but is it better to under graze large areas or correctly graze a smaller area...we just have 1 horse right now(saving up for cows) on a large pasture that she can’t graze off on her own before it gets over mature...if we move her quicker on larger paddocks there isn’t much impact...currently spending money clipping it off when it gets too mature for her

[@4philipp]

Not the expert but what I understand from Greg’s videos is you don’t have enough animals on your pasture (I understand that you are saving up for cows). On a quick growing pasture you may want to give smaller paddocks and move often, perhaps twice a day. On a slow growing pasture you may want to increase paddock size and move once a day. In either case, the top 1/3 of the gras is where the money is. Let pastures recover enough to flourish and break worm cycles. A lot depends on your location and weather. Pro Tip: watch ALL of Gregs videos

[@swamp-yankee]

@Leroy Jenkins sheep are much more affordable. A neighbor told me the ranchers out west say that sheep keep them in their cattle habit.

[@swamp-yankee]

Are you planning to roll up that old barb wire you fenced next too?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Yes

[@adlsaias]

Please dont keep it zoomed in all the time. Also please set the scene at the beginning with a long shot. I keep wishing to look left or right. Also introduce whoever is with you at the start. Great content I watch em all. I feel this non farmer has learned a lot from your video. Thank you

[@doublesfornothing4049]

Find yourself a man who will look at you the way Greg looks at his fence. 😆

[@bigwhane8603]

Where can I buy those fiberglass rods????

[@swamp-yankee]

My local dealer is Kencove in Pennsylvania

[@davemi00]

Timeless PVC T Posts are in Greeneville, TN

[@muletrack]

I don’t see how the rope gate is energized.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

The rope is tied directly onto the hi tensile wire permanent fence.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

Can't even find 12ga. wire here.

[@marvinbaier3627]

David Hickenbottom you can order it online.

[@davemi00]

Most All Farm or Tractor Supply carry 12 ga 180k tensile strength. TSC does. Farm Fleet probably.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

@@marvinbaier3627 shipping cost more than the wire.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

@Amber Hood thanks I'll check it out.
