Greg discusses his strategy for first winter stockpile grazing pass.

[@Sassafras30]

So peaceful. I won’t mention the election at all, so watching this video makes me feel sane for a while. This is a beautiful site.

Thanks Sally!

Me either Sally. I’d rather see peaceable grazing animals any day. Cow patties over street patties any day. Lol

His enthusiasm for his farm and lifestyle is addictive isn't it. Well deserved I'd say. When you're in love with what you do and proud of what you've built, every bug and crawly critter is a gift.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

I could not have said it better Brent. Thanks for everything that you have done for us Brent over the years. I'm glad your sheep and guardian dogs are working well for you.

[@Digger927]

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher Ha, you're most welcome. I don't think I could ever fully repay you for all the patience, help and advice you've given to me over the years but I'll sure try. The sheep and the dogs are doing great. They're one of the great loves of my life. No matter how bad a day gets, I always look forward to going and working with them and getting a breather from everything else. My cattle are doing great as well, I wish I'd have been able to get them from you but I'll try to check that item off my wish list here in the coming years.

Great one Greg, I notice your crew are making some great students. You can see they been listening, they answer all your questions. Can't wait to see that pond full.

How well do the sheep do on Kentucky 31 fescue? Thanks Greg great information as always 👍🏻

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Our sheep do quite well on Kentucky 31 stockpiled fescue during the winter. Sheep flock do not get any hay all winter. Tried giving them a bale last winter in a snow storm, they refused to eat it, foraged for their food instead.

I hope those folks out there set up a channel of their own!

[@roberthayes2027]

That's a beautiful pond you've got going there. You've shown us a "textbook example" of how it might be done. I'm wondering how many acres of pasture it'll be supplying? It looks like there will be just one watering station by gravity. Is there another downhill spot for another tank? Thanks

[@Digger927]

They move cattle about twice a day, no need for any single pond to supply water to a huge area.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Capture the water on your land while it is still legal to do so, period. If you run out of water and the water company tells you to not water livestock with their water in severe droughts, your out of business.

[@tracygarns9611]

I haven't seen a kildeer here since I was a kid. I haven't seen a ring neck pheasant for years, either here in my part of Pa.

[@davidhickenbottom6574]

Pheasants need thick standing cover and a food source. If you have land to manage plant some switch grass in 6 foot rows.

[@MistressOP]

Are they eating the fall leaves. Ours eat certain leaves that have green sploches

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

They certainly eat some of the leaves.

[@chinaski2020]

Hey Greg an old video of yours showed up in my feed where you had some fly paper sheets up near the cow’s water tank. You seemed pretty happy with it at the time but I hadn’t noticed any fly paper in the videos this summer. Have you moved away from that?

[@janjudy2799]

Just didn’t need it this summer. Not sure why.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

We let our animals stay outside every day of their lives. We don’t have barns on our farms to do the deep bedding method.

[@josedelacuadra660]

What did it cost for a grazing land lease for your herd? How many heads of cattle on how many acres?

[@seandoherty4236]

I recently heard a butcher say that cattle that eat a primarily fescue-based diet the meat flavor is negatively impacted: it makes it taste bad.

[@peterlue9274]

Does fescue make the meat taste bad?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

No

That duct tape isn’t going to stay stuck, so what about putting a twist of galvanised wire over the tape.

[@Digger927]

He had rope tied around it under the tape...

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

The duck tape is there to protect the polyethylene rope until the water covers it. There are three tight circles of 3/8" rope that will hold the standpipe to the fiberglass posts for the life of the pond.

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

Will the hose freeze up? I wonder if goats are like sheep in regards to water. Left you an email and voicemail.

[@Digger927]

He said in freezing weather they empty the tank and take it to the house and bring it back in the morning. Cattle drinking from it through the day usually provides enough flow to keep it liquid.

[@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962]

@@Digger927 So they use it above freezing temps? I heard it but I wasn't clear.

[@Digger927]

@@kiddfamilyfarmllc9962 No, he said in freezing weather they go down to the smaller 50 gallon tank. They do that so it's less wasteful to dump it at night. In freezing temps, they drain it and take it in at night so it doesn't tempt the cattle to want to drink. Then they bring it back the next morning and refill it. The hose doesn't usually freeze because cattle drink from it enough in the daytime to keep it flowing enough to keep it from freezing. Water flow into the tank is much harder to freeze because the pond water is is at subterranean temps and flowing water is much harder to freeze up. We get fairly nice winters here in MO. Sub zero winters up north and that probably wouldn't work.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

We take the tank and hose in at night if we are expecting freezing temps.

On the subject of not spraying fescue, take a look at some of Greg's other pastures: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnaoZJloYsp0eJI It's a jungle of warm season grasses, legumes and other good stuff, then fescue will be there in the winter.
