How to Start a Cattle Farm: Easy & Essential Steps for Beginners

[@Marilou-g5t]

Moving ruminants between noon and 1 boosts the utilization of the higher BRIX levels in the forages and boosts herd health.

[@ngana8755]

What is BRIX?

[@queenimari602]

@@ngana8755 I think it is related to sugar content of forages.

I'm watching in South Africa,thanks for your mentorship

We're glad we can help from so far! ❤️

Interesting... my earlier comment about regen grazing not needing certain injectables at all is missing....

[@matthewpeckham9035]

And manure from cows that have received ivermectin is like nuking the earth worm population in your soil.

Grain grows hooves and horns and throws off the gut microbiome.

How small is the small paddocks? I'm currently building a fence for cows, but not sure how small of an area i can do for weekly rotation. Starting with two calfs

[@Ryan-dr5cr]

Use mobile electric so you can make them any size you want. As you move them you’ll see how much they eat each day and can figure out how big you need to make the next one

[@HeiferUSA]

Hey! We recommend you to use the stocking density information in the video to help as a guide.

[@Heyitssomeidiot]

what about a desert cattle operation that wouldnt have the ability to set up a rotational grazing operation?

[@Marilou-g5t]

@@Heyitssomeidiot Alejandro Carrillo rotationally grazes at his Las Damas Ranch in Chijuajuan desert. He has videos on youtube about regen grazing.

[@HeiferUSA]

That is a great question. Find out if there is a local Savory Institute Hub in your area and reach out to them!

[@Marilou-g5t]

@@Heyitssomeidiot Understanding Ag also consults about regen ag grazing in context for each individual farm's issues.

Can you do about pigs. Like this.

[@HeiferUSA]

We took care of it for you some time ago! Check out our video Raising PIGS for BEGINNERS! [In-Depth Guide] in our channel🐷❤️

[@mrsmiley631]

If you raise cattle, are you a farmer or rancher?

[@tireddad6541]

Or both. Do you grow other crops besides grass?

The goal is to eat less meat and improve environment with less producing methane from cattle

[@Marilou-g5t]

@@cathycharron-folsom4504 properly managed ruminants, (cattle, sheep, goats,...) add carbon to the soil. Humans eating meat is healthier for humans than eating carbohydrates. See Michaela Peterson and others on the lion or carnivore diet. Carbs make us fat, diabetic, deprive our brains of needed fats for optimal brain function and cause many other harms to human bodies. Ruminants are made to eat grasses and other forages. We lack the rumen, while ruminants have the ability to graze a lot of forages quickly, birp it up later and chew the cud, and then the food is properly digested.

[@chrishavard951]

@@cathycharron-folsom4504 cows aren’t the biggest producers of methane. Oil refineries and other plants are.

[@HeiferUSA]

We care about the envionment, that's why we raise livestock using regenerative farming techniques that care for the animals and the planet by improving soil health conditions to the point of capturing more carbon than the livestock emit :)

[@Marilou-g5t]

@@cathycharron-folsom4504 properly grazed ruminants build soil, increase water and other nutrient cycling, increase populations of worms (which improve soils), dung beetles (which incorporate manures into the soil so plants can reuse nutrients), and other animal which benefit from the stimulated growth of grazed forages,... Check out Alejandro Carrillo and the soil improvement to his Chijuanjuan Desert ranch, Greg Judy and his soils, Understanding Ag and their influence, Will Harris of White Oak Pastures, Joel Salatin and Polyface Farm,... RFK, jr. Calley and Casey Means, Mikaela and Jordan Peterson, and others were recently discussing the health benefits of regen ag and human health. Explore more, follow the money trail to see who is pushing a narritive. Think critically of ALL you see and hear. The earth was abundant until corporate greed influenced the ag sphere in the 1940's. See Steve Kenyon graph on a video on yt. Big ag biz inputs siphoned money from farms and small towns, made rural folks poor if they listened to experts.

I live in Illinois where we grow mostly Corn (Maize) and Soybean for use as livestock feed. We have 27,000,000 acres plowed and sprayed with fungicide, pesticide and herbicide. Our stream and rivers run black with top soil. The University Budgets for Crops contain no Cost for Soil lost to erosion. Growing grains to feed livestock is unsustainable over the long-term. Cattle and Sheep Ranching should be encouraged.
