Greg & Jan are at the calving South Poll herd, baby calves everywhere! By leaving the bulls in last summer for 60 days, our calving season is condensed into a tighter window.

All the calves looked very good, all shiny and healthy. Your pastures are just cranking as well. Thank you for the plug, and have a wonderful day!

Thanks for the video! It’s awesome you are having so many calves all at once. We are almost done lambing waiting on 1 more ewe. We had a twin last night before the rain came in. I think we are having lambs right before each rain or during the rain. I think I forgot to dump out our rain gauge the other day so I think we got another 4/10” last night and it is still sprinkling.

Greg, we live in Northwest Missouri and we are 4 days away from a 30 day recovery period on our pasture. We made sure to take approximately 1/3 of the forage and move them. The fescue, orchard, and clover have completely recovered but the brome has not. Is it normal for brome to not recover as fast as those other forages? Is it something I should slow the cattle down over? We have also received 8 to 10 inches of rain over this time period.

Love your advice about not interrupting the Cow calf bond by tagging too soon. Makes perfect sense to leave for 24 hours. 😊

Lovely

Greg, I absolutely love your videos, I’m a veggie farmers and there’s just something relaxing about watching your magic play out

GREG man up it's only rain🌧 you won't melt 🤣

Wiping the calf off is breaking the bonding time for the Mother and Baby. When she licks the calf off she is putting her sent and getting the calf sent. Wiping it off could definitely break the cycle. I think I watched the video when they did that and I notice they have a lot of bottle calves. Live and learn right

Good one

[@davidedwards8685]

You talk about grazing management, but where do you sell/market your calves?

[@danphillips4590]

Greg, I am only 1.5hrs from Roanoke. Went to your website, cant find info on the one day workshop you mention in this video. Where can I find more info on date, location? Thanks.

[@danphillips4590]

Greg, out of 70 calves, how many needed help during birthing, i.e. pulled? Thanks. I lost one in early April.

How often do you (or your employees) check on the cows during calving season?

[@michaellarson8470]

Do Southpoles do well in the north cold? Montana/Idaho?
