Greg explains how to calculate how much winter stockpile to give your livestock with daily moves. With a bit of math calculations, you can ensure that your livestock are getting the correct amount of forage and you are not over feeding them. Every day that animals can feed themselves in the winter versus feeding them hay, your animals are making you money. If you want to keep your farm profitable every year, check out my 3 grazing books that I wrote on our website: greenpasturesfarm.net/books/

Correction Greg, an acre is 43,560 SF, not 42,560 :)

Winter is all about spreading fertility, and getting prepped for the spring flush. The weather slows things down, giving time for planning and reflecting on the past season. Thank you for the lesson on calculating forage, there may be less stabbing in the dark now when it comes to paddock sizing. Have a wonderful weekend

Thanks for the detailed calculations. Ironweed and goldenrod are medicinal. Don't 2,4-D your "weeds." Also, like Greg says, you don't want your pasture looking like a lawn. You have to fight the peer pressure of your neighbors.

Thanks for posting this video. We lived in Kansas and had one grass cut and bale the first week in July each year. In Tennessee you can get 2 and some years 3 cuts per season. Winter is the rainy season in Tennessee. And free aged branch/leaf mulch sifted for Fall nutrient field cover. 💦

Greg, an ace is 43,560 sq. ft. So based on your calculation they can eat 5 inches that will be 2,5% of their body weight not 3%. I assume that amount of forage is adequate for that time of year and their activity. How many hours of grazing for 41 bulls, on .45 acres, to consume that calculated 900 lbs. of forage?

About the bull pasture. Will you run the sheep on there before spring? Will you install a rock skirt on that pond. Will the water quality improve with just sunlight? So you won't need to do any water treatment?
@gregjudyregenerativerancher
@gregjudyregenerativerancher Жыл бұрын
Sheep will not be run over there. The open sunlight and not having tons of leaves falling into the pond should cure it.

It all depends on what kind of forage you were trying to make them eat. If it still has some green in the lower canopy, our cows and bulls are in heaven eating it over any hay there is.

@@SasquatchBioacoustic Not to be a stickler, but that brings it down to 907.4 # available, i.e. down not up .. either way nobody can argue against Greg's results after seeing his cattle .. might not be a math professor but his ruminant results rock the world. Edit That is equivalent to the body weight part of the calculation being 2.459 ... my point being that a lot of those numbers are rough guesses, and when you put those together with Gregs experience and intuition, it works great

One person's weed is another's forage. There basically are no weeds in a pasture, except if you have horse nettle, deadly nightshade, poison hemlock, etc. Now, if you are managing for only single species hay, then you go down the road of defoliants. But, that's not what Greg is doing.
