I pray that you and your business will prosper abundantly. May the Lord bless you.

[@theShepherdess]

THANK YOU so much.

[@jlpaints]

Great information on rotational grazing. Thank you for getting such an informative guest.

[@DanKlein_1]

Interesting point on rotating paddocks so you aren't using them the same time every year. Funny because it seems so basic yet I never thought about it before.

[@theShepherdess]

That was the point that really resonated with me! I hadn’t much considered it before he mentioned.

[@larimorefarm472]

Love This....I've watched it several times!! Winter is great for regenerative ranching reruns! 😁

[@theShepherdess]

Love hearing this!! Thank you 😁😁

[@OnSiteTrav]

Joel is so GOOD

[@joelbishop8808]

This was a nice clip!

[@leiferikkson2616]

I’m so bad at math I had to re watch this several times to be able to get what he’s talking about lmao Great interview though!

[@patriciabeyer7824]

👋 Hi. This would take planning on paper with a great deal of thought and good knowledge of your property. The soil would have to be suitable for all animals that would be grazing on it....I would think. 🤷‍♀️ Be blessed. Much success in all your planning and work. 🥰

[@theShepherdess]

Thank you, Patricia! Yes, it is definitely a lot to think about... but the good thing is that he recommended just getting started and going from there! Thank you so much, Patricia! -the Shepherdess

[@patriciabeyer7824]

@@theShepherdess yes. That would take the pressure off of you.

[@pokerbuddy2227]

How is this supposed to help on a new farm with no information no data? What about the sheep and chickens that are also in rotation ?

[@sandradelvecchio6894]

I never hear him talk about goats. That’s the info I need for a wooded property. Not going to have cows.

[@libsrdum]

A common saying in the laboratory is "In God we trust. All others bring data" Would also hold true in a pasture.

[@michaelhurley5676]

What do you plant in your grazing area? I have a 3-3.5 acre area that has been hay for the last 30years. I have purchased the land about 8 years ago and started mowing it. Not taking anything off. I would like to have beef and chickens to help regenerate the soil. Any ideas?

[@jenniferbunker2757]

What if you don't have alot of land ?

OK I joined the newsletter to get the full video. Excited to hear it. I just got Polly face for micro and ready to dig into my pasture plan

[@edeancozzens3833]

How do ranchers count their cattle? They use a cowculator.

[@yoopermann7942]

that is how my grand pa and ex-father-in-law used to move their cows

[@theShepherdess]

That’s really neat to hear! Where did they live/farm at? -the Shepherdess

We are wanting to build chicken tractors. We can not source aluminum roofing anywhere. It’s just not available. What other roofing can I use??? Please help.

[@theShepherdess]

Check out this one that my sister made! Tarp and Cattle Panels Super easy... it is for laying hens on pasture but might be able to modify for broilers!: bit.ly/3xmv1m0

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

Our local Lowe's has corrugated plastic roofing that we have used instead of aluminum.

[@theShepherdess]

Oooh! This is great

[@1christylynn]

Thanks guys. I think we are going to go with the plastic. I just hope they don’t get too hot.

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

@@1christylynn - We use the white plastic on our tractors and our chickens don't appear to have any heat issues. I would be cautious about using the clear plastic panels. -Mike

[@hirashamsi7323]

I recently discover Mr.Joel, his knowledge is Gold . Thank you for sharing .

[@theShepherdess]

Yes! I am so grateful for all he has to share. 🙌🏻

[@jenniferbunker2757]

What size pens do you make for each animal? What animals follow which animals? We have goats, horses, kune kune pigs, rabbits, chickens

[@Willbkool]

Good info from Joel as usual. I really wanted to attend this online class, but my birthday was May 20 and my girlfriend insisted that I go out with her and not stay home and watch youtube. 😒 lol

[@theShepherdess]

Haha! I think you were wise to listen. 😂 Relationship spared. 😂😂 Hopefully you enjoy the replay! I might host another one this year, so be watching. -the Shepherdess

[@Willbkool]
