Isaac & Joel hit a homerun with our cow mob, no flies on our fat cattle!

These are my favorite kind of Greg Judy videos, where Greg takes time with the young men to talk about real cattle ranching lessons.

Running your cattle on this land is the best thing that can be done for the land. Beautiful cattle, beautiful land.

[@wadepatton2433]

Depends on how you do it. Lots of barely functional pastures and muddy ponds around here--conventional destruction. Greg and others are doing it with Nature rather than against, hence the great results.

Indeed. His books are good too. All three.

love this innovation of adding the third move in the middle of the day. please keep us updated on how it progresses through the season!

[@zekeshow3769]

I’ve seen these grasses first hand and it’s incredible. Greg and his crew are top notch.

[@quarrybrookfarms8156]

Truly amazing. People without attle have no idea of the level of management it takes to achieve this! Nice to have a good team. Can you talk more about a total graze and why it does or doesn't work?

[@tcrsm3will3]

We need to get a mic for those boys

[@EastGateTentRevival]

Greg, I set up 1.25 acre cells with water available on a farm in 1997. I moved calves on that one year 3X day. It all worked well, but I didn't have the right genetics. They were purchased in the sale barn. It takes several factors to make it all work. Great job, guys. #naturalgramma Hank & Laura Reid

[@seandoherty4236]

Getting those proper grass genetics are why folks shell out so much for animals from a properly managed herd like Mr. Judy's. Otherwise, you need to put in 3-10+ years to get a herd up to snuff. When you take into account the dollar value of time lost, four $2,000+ heifers and one $5,000 bull from Greg Judy works about to be cheaper than buying 10-20 cows and 2-4 bulls from the sale barn, and having to cull year after year to determine which obes will thrive in your context. In 5 years the Judy herd will be bigger and more valuable, while you cannot be sure of even having a thriving herd at all from the sale barn rejects. When you realize time is money, you see why folks pay premiums for quality.

[@Coltrabagar]

I'm looking out the window at our pasture and it looks nothing like this. I'm so looking forward to getting our rotational grazing going. The land I just bought had cattle running free on it year round. The top soil is shallow and the weeds and grass are already running dry. Looking at this pasture at the same time of year on Greg's pasture is amazing. So thick and lush.

[@aimanadzhan5135]

I can't get enough of your content.

[@brucemattes5015]

Greg, are you, Issac and the interns sampling the various forages in those psstures for their Brix content? I wonder what the correlation between the Brix levels in the various species of plants versus the pH measurement of your cattle's urine is? *I'll speculate that a high Brix measurement equals a very healthy plant which in addition to the ruminant animals only eating the top one-fifth to one-third of a plant equals a high pH measurement for the animal's urine which in turn equals the animal NOT being particularly attractive to flies.* *Not to mention that three-a-day paddock moves are keeping the animals well ahead of the breeding cycle of the flies, which in conjunction with your healthy population of dung beetles means that there are exponentially fewer flies that could potentially harrass and feed upon the blood of your livestock if their pH was more acidic.*

[@j.jacobson]

[@bryanblackburn7074]

Greg I like your videos when you bring in Isaac, Ike and your interns like Joel and involve them into your conversation. It's really nice to hear what they have learned and how they have advanced in their own thinking and problem solving of grazing strategies. Greg do you remember Isaac's project last year when he stayed out all day with the cattle herd and he setup up strip grazing and moved the cattle mob like every 20 minutes? I believe he was trying to use the cattle mob to trample the Sericea Lespedeza and destroy the plants so more palatable forage can grow in it's place? What does that field look like this year with all the moisture you had this season?

[@albertod4161]

Sure is amazing how management can solve so many issues. You didn't need any bi carb, conditioner, or enticer. Switching up the management and keeping the money in your pocket! The cows look pig fat! Greatjob by the young men on your crew! Thank you and have a wonderful day.

[@marvinbaier3627]

Thanks for the video! I can tell the animals look great with not that many flies too. Our animals look good too. I noticed our cows have been putting some weight on too. I was worried a little bit about our pasture because it was starting to get dry but we got a little over 2 inches of rain last night. Rain is such a wonderful thing to have. All our grass isn’t as tall or thick as yours. We are going on our second rotation for some of our farm and first rotation on another part of our farm. We let some it grow out because we were trying grow cover crops. Our cows are so oily too. They felt like bacon grease. I was telling my daughter that’s a good thing so she felt the cows and thought it was greasy too😂.

[@DanielJock-nl6wz]

Out of all the cows exposed to the bulls how many did not get bred and will be sold as cull cows or else as fall bred? That’d be a good reference to know just to get conception rate in spring calving herd.

[@mckennahicks5259]

I did notice my jersey is a lot better with flies than my Holstein I’ll be staying red I think

Good stuff!! I’m a hater Greg, I hate that I am still working in town and not able to do what you’re doing full time. Takes time to get enough knowledge and experience to do it. Appreciate your videos. Thanks from WI.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

Please don’t give up on your dream. Remember I worked 29 years at a off the farm job to get in position where I could quit at age 50. You absolutely can do this if you want it bad enough. It’s worth the extra work that it takes to finally kiss the town job good-bye.

[@seandoherty4236]

Get Greg's books. You can start out leasing idle land, and custom grazing other grazier's herds. There is ZERO reason you cannot begin this journey TODAY!

There are more and more people on KZbin nowadays giving grazing advice. They do not have grass like this and their cattle do not look like this. Everyone take advice from the man that has the grass and the cattle to back the management.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

This is ground breaking stuff, no flies in the hot June temps has never happened before at our farm. The flies are buzzing around, but are not attacking the cattle herd. Astonishing to say the least!

There will be refreshments and I believe lunch is served. See you there!!

[@seandoherty4236]

You call it pink eye, but is it possible that these animals react to pollen, air quality and allergens in a manner similair to other mammals? Some fields may have more vegetative grass and therefore fewer allergens, while other pastures might have more ragweed or other plants going to seed, ergo more likely to aggravate some animals' respiratory systems? Just a thought...

[@maipambek]

Amazing!!

[@TebogoDioka]

Greg, how many animals are in the mob?

[@triciahill216]

Other than the cost of mowing the 1/3 of the farm that was left (and not that the cost isn’t big), what is the advantage of letting the 1/3 get overly mature vs. mowing it high to keep it vegetative when it’s ready to graze?

[@jonerlandson1956]

this is interesting...

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

Interesting about the flies not liking a more acidic ph. I know moving the cattle frequently really helps with fly control.

[@charleswalters5284]

Flies not liking a more alkaline ph

[@Tomek745li]

Very nive grass. I'm grazing 9 pairs and bull on 24 acres. Wet spring and now drought. First rotation was 26 days. Keep the paddocks bigger. The second 35 days. Paddokcs are smaller. In my opinion it is too much mature grass, mowing twice a day. Do you have any tips ? Water supply it's not so great. I,m working on it.

[@rochrich1223]

Gotta pity the swallows. Only a couple were bothering to fly over the cattle.

[@wadepatton2433]

They'll be fine. Nature has lots of things for them to eat, and they'll move on before they get skinny. It will be interesting to note if the swallow population diminishes after a few seasons of this level of bovine health. Best looking herd I've ever seen.

[@C.Hawkshaw]

Maybe they will move on to the conventional ranches.

[@Marilou-g5t]

Does Ian mean some scent other than ketosis?

[@diamondbackecological]

Question for Greg Judy. If your moving cattle 3 times a day, how much time in hrs, is required for one person to put out portable fencing, allow the animals to move and to take up that fencing just for one day?

[@SolarSolaceFarms]

Fantastic grazing! I simple do not get how the old-school folks wouldn't want this level of animal health in their herds--ESPECIALLY given the lower level of inpust and the constant regeneration of the land to levels that only Nature can provide. Chemical farming seems entirely irresponsible when you see this level of success (and well know the shortcomings of chemical ag). Mind the heat fellas! GREAT WORK!

[@C.Hawkshaw]

l think they have to be humble enough to learn new things and admit that they’ve been doing it wrong for 40 years. That’s a pretty tall order.

[@wadepatton2433]

@@C.Hawkshaw Sure. The best regen guys I know had issues early on that "forced" them to find a better way or to give up farming. I simply avoided farming despite my love of the land and animals because all I could see was the destruction of pastures and chemical dependence at every turn. I didn't know about soil biology beyond adding whatever the soil tests showed necessary. Now grazing seems so very much fantastic if you do it right. The health of the animals and the improved profits from better animals and better land with less inputs would pull me straight into farming now if was young again and had this information. Thankfully there are one or two folks in my mid-state area rotating their animals. This gives me hope for all of Ag. And I'll get some out there as soon as practical.

[@charleswalters5284]

Huge, monstrous noise machine ( which, sadly, includes univ. and usda ) 'working' on behalf of a very few ruling class families with a sick, twisted agenda to poison the people and the land , getting us to pay for toxic chemicals and drugs, with the end result of transferring all of our money and property to these few families. And it's been working. As a 'for instance' : in Iowa, we've lost 90% of our family farms over the last 40 years. If they can divert our attention to being mad at some poor brown people, get us thinking thats the most important thing, then we'll barely notice as they finish us off.
