Greg discusses a host of topics from grass, fencing, proper winter manure pats, winter stockpiling.

I know it is a good feeling to be able to buy a farm. It is nice when you can get a new pickup but land is a total different thing.

[@marvinbaier3627]

Thanks for the video! I can’t wait for my grass look like that. I bought a mix of native seeds this winter. I’m planning to plant them this January or February. It’s a diverse of 25 species warm season grasses, 25 species cool season grasses, and 25 species of legumes and forbs. It should cover about 4 acres of my 25 acres. Depending on how it looks in a few years, I might buy more native seeds. Some of the native cool season grasses should grow in the winter too. It should grow a few inches during the winter.

[@MelonsandMaters]

Some seeds may not manifest themselves because the biology isn't quite ready for it. That is one reason I graze cereals because the seed is cheap and it always comes up...except one field I planted triticale into. That field was so dead, parts of it would only grow rye.

[@marvinbaier3627]

@ I planted 2 years of cover crops first. The first year was cereal rye, triticale, hairy vetch , and clovers. Then, second year more of the same ( reseeded itself) but I planted warm season cover crops in the summer.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Great information as always.

Greg,Great video! I have enjoyed all your videos. You know cattle and the ground and pastures ! I have been watching your from Felton, Delaware. Itremonds me of in yhe 1970-1980 having steers on my familys farm. I will be getting in touch with you for a bull in a year . I want cattle again . The best beef is your own pasture raised beef! Thank you

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Grassfed is best for the animal, the producers economically and the environment and consumers health. Everybody wins, it’s a no-brainer yet there are people that continue to go broke feeding corn to beef cattle when their guts were designed to eat forages.

[@BrianWroten-xt2dz]

Greg your 1000% RIGHT ON! PASTURE RAISED IS THE BEST. LIKE THE BUFFALO OUT WEST. I WILL KEEP ON WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. I HAVE BEEN through Kansas City, Columbia , St. Louis,MISSOURI through I-#70 and through to St.Joseph ,Springfield, Missouri I-#44 . Very,very nice area.I was on the Interstate . Diffently a lot of cattle country. Thank you again . I will stay in touch.

[@jeaniepartridge6701]

We just went through 5 days without power our only problem was without power we don't have water so the cows only had a small creek to get water. They don't push our 7 strand Timeless post perimeter fence because we don't let them go hungry!

Insurance policy...For those times when a storm drops a branch on the fence & lightning blows the charger. Use 2 chargers. One for odd # wires, second for even # wires.

Thank you very much for the video sir

[@johnlittle184]

Will the different types of fescues grow together?

[@pecosredd2236]

Thanks for all your great videos. I am looking at a ranch in eastern Oklahoma that is primarily Bermuda. Would you do a video on steps you would take to make it a ranch that could winter cattle?

[@andreanessa]

Me too. Eastern Oklahoma

[@Joseph-qc3km]

So what are the pro's and cons of Kentucky 31 vs the non entophyte fescue? If any. Or is that because it is what you already have there?

[@dc4692]

Hi Greg. I'd like to hear your thoughts about the dogs health: Do you give them any kind of "prevention or treatment" for flea, ticks, heartworm, or worms in general ?

[@kirkjones5745]

hi greg is barb wire good for perimeter fence

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

If that is what you have, I would use it. But if your starting from scratch with no fence, then I would put up hi-tensile fence

[@financedfish6852]

Greg what is the difference between the cows eating hay and eating dead warm season standing grass?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Dead warm season grass is mature forage that has lost most of its protein and energy. Dry hay is normally cut and baled right before the seed head comes out or shortly thereafter. This locks in the energy and protein in the cut grass when it is sun cured then wrapped into a bale.

[@jonerlandson1956]

I've heard trees do a lot to help pasture?

[@AaronNew-l3t]

If big blue stem or Bermuda is cut and baled, is the hay nutritionally deficient? Or is it just a problem when it goes dormant?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

If it is cut in the early growth stage (boot stage) it is awesome hay. If you cut and bale it late summer it is straw value.

[@brucemattes5015]

The native North American prairie grasslands, both the shortgrass and tallgrass prairies, contained an incredibly diverse mix of warm season grasses, cool season grasses, forbs, brambles, bushes, and trees that exceeded 300 separate species of plants. Hamilton Native Outpost can provide anyone with the information necessary to decide if one has the right climatic conditions on their property to establish a native prairie environment where one either previously existed or in some cases never existed. A proper mix of native cool season grasses is capable of providing the same types of nutrients for a ruminant livestock animal as is Kentucky 31 enfophyte infested fescue in the depths of winter. The problem that exists is that Kentucky 31 enfophyte infested fescue is a non-native European grass that, similar to kudzu, is capable of out competing just about all other grasses, native and non-native alike, to include the new non-endophyte infested fescues, in any climatic range where it can thrive. Which makes eradicating Kentucky 31 fescue sufficiently to a point where native prairie grasses and forbs can establish themselves, a minimum 2-year to 10-year process, a lot more expensive, time consuming, and problematic. A well-established tallgrass or shortgrass prairie ecosystem is capable, with proper rotational grazing practices, of grazing domesticated livestock beef cattle on a year round basis without the need for supplemental feeds, including hay. It's just a matter of economics. *"How many people can afford to spend the necessary monies required to establish a self-sustaining tallgrass or shortgrass prairie ecosystem on a sufficient number of acres of land for a viable, year round, ranching operation that contains an absolute minimum of 60-100 separate species of grasses, forbs, bushes, and trees?"*

[@jonerlandson1956]

grass is ground floor... we should learn it...

[@brettpayton6286]

My question greg is about that summer grass. I understand it's in the soil already. Is there away to control it? An what I mean is our 30a had very little EG grass. An now 5 years later it's popping up all over. Yes i get it's beneficial but I don't want it taken over everything. Anything I can really do? Thanks

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

I assume when you used the initials eg you were talking about eastern gamagrass?

[@brettpayton6286]

@gregjudyregenerativerancher yes sir that's correct

[@bryanblackburn7074]

Cattle look great nice and fat!

[@jakebredthauer5100]

It is not glysophate. It is glyphosate.

[@tedbastwock3810]

But can any of you correctly name the exact cause of the countryside being turned into houses? Hint .. there is a one word answer. And, no, I don't think I'm smarter than you, or more informed than you or any of that stuff. I think most of you know it but are too scared to say it. Another hint .. its not natural growth, which is simple birth rate minus death rate.

[@tedbastwock3810]

p.s. I remember that beautiful restaurant, and she has nothing to do with it. Marriage is powerful. Scale. It is scale. The scale is too much. We should have managed the scale of it a long time ago. And thanks, btw, to those of you who could have made a fuss about it a long time ago but didn't, and have now gifted us an unreconcilable situation. You lot think you're so tuff, and so good, yet you leave us with this. So convenient to get old and complain about it long after it is too late.

[@stevedrew5425]

No marbling in grass fed cattle

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

That is the same comment I’ve heard my whole life. I guess people just don’t care to speak the truth any more. If the cattle are grazed correctly and allowed to finish on grass they marble just fine. Making a blank statement like that is what is typical though. It’s sad when folks don’t care enough to learn the truth before they start spouting things that are simply not true.

[@MelonsandMaters]

@@stevedrew5425 You're saying there's no intra muscular fat on Greg s cows? Buffalo never had any fat on them? It's the best fat.

[@marvinbaier3627]

I can show you some grass fed steaks with awesome marbling.

[@SolarSolaceFarms]

As I write this I am waiting for one of my steaks to reach room temp to pan fry… yea, it will be juicy and tender, oh salt and pepper with a flavor that doesn’t need steak sauce or marinade. But wait there is more, my steak, Greg’s Steak, good and any well finished grass fed animals with the right genetics meat will be marbled and most importantly will not cause inflammation in your body. Grain fed and finished, you will have body inflammation. I am recovering from surgery I need protein without inflammation, grass fed all the way, nothing better.
