Sheep fencing that is economical is all we build. Fiberglass or Timeless Fence posts are the key to building effective low maintenance sheep fence. Go to greenpasturesfarm.net for more info.

Starting a sheep operation on 160 acres with a friend. He's getting ten ewes and I'm helping with the pay off being just learning and experience. We are greatful for all this information. Happy that we found a few St. Croix farms locally here that's what we are going with for our first try at sheep.

Yup, lots of people talk and talk and even disparage him &/or his methods but Greg does it for years until he figures it out fer shur! Ya can't go wrong by following and copying G.J. and he's made all the mistakes so if you're smart, you'll follow him for that reason alone. He is VERY graciously offering up the results of his experience and mistakes. That's pure GOLD! Also, he's got the kind of mind that knows how to hone in on the heart of a matter, no matter how seemingly offbeat or unconventional. Not too many of those around. So valuable. That's my quest: to find the people and techniques in the heart of a thing like that. Plus, he's the most pleasant and interesting person on YT! I hope he doesn't get a fat head! Ha!

Funny about the overalls. I'm an ironworker, and my overalls have more patches than original material, and stand up on their own before I get rid of them. I don't sew, so I use tear mender, tug o' war, or even plain old carpet glue. Patches on patches, on patches. So I didn't give the slightest thought to the condition of your overalls. They still have plenty of life in them! I live in the city, and build high rise buildings, but my Grandparents were raised on a ranch, and I'm really interested in ways to keep a working farm in this "Big Agra" environment.

Hey Greg, if the front gate is worth painting - then i reckon the same goes for wearing a decent set of overalls,. My thoughts are they're both a statement of your professionalism. Your commitment to the broader promotion of regenerative ranching (i think your outstanding in your contribution as both a practitioner and influencer) is supported also i suspect by maintaining a strong personal brand where your standards and values have strong alignment in all areas.

I definitely would not wear these clothes if I was meeting a new potential landowner for possibly leasing their farm. I have a brand new pair reserved for those occasions. You are right about appearances, but I'm not going to change who I am on my farms. I want to be comfortable and our livestock don't seem to mind how my clothes look.

Makes sense to me, that if you have just enough feed for X number of cattle, that you can't throw in another pile of animals that eat that same forage. Of course somebody'll get hungry, both herds above n below ground

Greg, you say that you want to make sure the cattle don't take a second bite until the grass has recovered. If the sheep are only 14 days behind, and they do eat some grass and clover, are they taking a "second bite"?
@gregjudyregenerativerancher4 жыл бұрын
Ideally the sheep should be in with the cattle. Maybe someday. In the mean time it is best if you have them separated to immediately follow behind the cattle with sheep. You correctly pointed out the 2 week lag and that is not good.

Livestock Guardian Dogs (LDG's). The dogs are vigilant to protect their herd and they're always with it. The dogs even run ahead to check out the next paddock every move. LGD's will protect chickens, goats, sheep, etc. It's what they live for.
@rockinghorselivestock24914 жыл бұрын
Greg, do you mean 7 sheep equals 1 cow animal unit? So if you had 100 cows and you added 1 sheep per cow (100 sheep) you would be adding the equivalent of about 14 cows to the herd?
@gregjudyregenerativerancher4 жыл бұрын
That is correct, using our mature ewe weights. Wool sheep ewes can be much heavier. Whatever the weight of your ewes, devide 1000 ÷ 130 or whatever the weight is. That gives you your answer.

Do you ever get hit by your fences? You’re always waving your hands around by them in your videos and I’m just waiting for it to happen. Then you step over it.

@CaliforniaCheez no that wire had 10000 volts in it. With that many volts you have a high incentive not to touch it.
