Mob Grazing Disadvantages

[@RichBurris2]

Thanks to those willing to try new methods and put the effort in to see results that take us to healing the land for the future. You guys are the best.

[@Avicena-tf5uj]

big thanks to all these farmers and ranchers implementing this and moving civilization forward. your efforts are recognized and appreciated

[@BJSmith-ll3uw]

Most of the disadvantages talked about here are problems of beginners and some are problems of not understanding the "whole". You have to embrace a new way of thinking by learning how to understand how forage grows and how to grow the forage properly.

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@blakepablo1035]

@Trevor Louis I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@blakepablo1035]

@Trevor Louis it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

[@trevorlouis7041]

@Blake Pablo You are welcome :D

It's about the soil. Invest in the soil and reap the benefits for the rest of your farming life.

Talk with Jim Gerrish, Gred Judy or Joel Salatin soon. Many people refute what they aren't using before accepting data from elsewhere. Many others never research enough to find out what works when done right, by attending a school or conference put on by a true, University forage research center. Yes, forage maturity will have effects on the intake and protein content. In Nebraska, well established prarie pastures have declining protein content and increasing fiber due to carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere. The plants adapt to changing conditions. One thing is absolute in life, you cannot get more torque from smaller displacement naturally aspirated engines. And You cannot get more milk from a cow on a shorter growing season in the North, than you can from irrigated pastures in the West and Southwest. A ten thousand head dairy there will make more milk than a five hundred head dairy in the North. When the competition is overwhelming, the cows feel the artificial hot rodding of their hormones, concrete under foot and other health problems. We have constantly had to update our strategies and tactics in cropping and livestock choices here in this country. Unfortunately, we subsidize the status quo and do not reward proper land use and innovation enough. In MissourAH, we have wildly different soils south of the Missouri River than North. When someone on Ozark hill ground heard about Crop yields in the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, they think those yields are achievable in those Ozark hills also... The fertilizer, seed, equipment paradigm builders are all standing there with their stories and hands in the farmer's pocket. Unfortunately, for the farmer and the citizen who pay the ultimate prices, all is not so.

Allen Savory and Holistic Management will further your work ! Thank you for sharing !!

Sounds like a lot of whiners “ it’s a lot of work” wait you are a farmer/ rancher does that mean it’s not suppose to be hard work? It’s what’s best for the land and animal, feeding grain is an expense and not what these animals were meant to eat but have been accustomed to for centuries

[@petawatson5120]

Unfortunately with beef there is a perception that you just sit on the verandah and watch the money grow...

[@coffeehugger]

What a great video, honest and well informed. I hate grazing our dairy herd, I don't even like to graze beef animals although we have done that. But when I see others who are trying to rotational graze, trying and being enthusiastic, makes me happy to watch and I'm glad they do this. But they are better men than me!! :)

[@maidenschmidt1979]

Great video. Love the brown cow at 2:57. He has the right idea.

[@terrijuanette486]

I nearly died laughing...it starts at 2:53. Obviously, the bull doesn't care much about the camera. LOL

[@unaffiliated_x9279]

He couldn't see...just trying to get a better view ;)

[@kloppskop4149]

That was hillarious! as if on que as the caption reads "unpredictable behaviour in large herds" 🤣🤣🤣

[@colineaston6305]

[@AinsleyVarvel]

"Unpredictable animal behaviour" at 2:52 lol you don't say

[@ryanm3558]

As a new proponent of mob grazing I really appreciate the "gotchas" which are rarely noted. Thanks!

[@tonidjakic]

Gregg Judy moves 360 cows in 20 minutes. Wanna clean barn? Go ahead. Even one hour in nature is better then cleaning cow poop... hows that more labor????!!!!!

[@RealKevD]

Greg Judy been doin it for years

[@ALLSTARGAMERSUNITED]

All i heard at the start was that it was more daily laboring work with only 20 minutes a day moving the cattle.

[@rlyman111]

Compare the correct cattle. Be willing to work.

[@peterclark6290]

The Dairy farmer needs to look into Zero grazing. As a concept it is at least 70+ years old and going strong. The farmer will still need animal impact to build up the soil in his cutting paddocks, feed the dung beetles etc. All farm animals need to checked on daily, so that's not an excuse. If you don't even like doing that are you in the right business? In the clips shown I didn't see too many trees - which are deep-rooted nutrient pumps so maybe for some of them it's maximising used space without knowing the big picture. Just fence lines and grass. If boss cow doesn't spook, the herd doesn't either so what's his real problem?

[@TylerBunchanumbers]

Soil soil soil! We mob graze beef cows moving daily on a take 50 leave 50 two pass ststem during the growing seasons and strip graze stockpiled pastures during winter. We'll graze 300+ days and only feed purchased hay the remaining days. Soil quality keeps increasing while fertilizer keeps decreasing. If dairy farming I'd probably look at zero grazing.

[@mateuslobo2854]

Talk to New Zealand dairy farmers, they've got answers and solutions for all this disavantages!

[@willieclark2256]

"How best to implement mob grazing" shows an overgrazed fenceline

[@itsno1duh]

This should be called "first perception" disadvantages and even those who sound like uneducated whiners are talking sense toward the end of the video. Being exposed to mob grazing by KZbin videos is a mixed bag of goods lol Keep looking the GEMS are out there!

[@kevinkrystlesaintlouis4474]

my name is keng. I want to have american brahman but i don't know types of grasses for my cattle. can you tell me for my cattle to fed to my cow. so what kind of grasses to plant in your farm for american brahman breeders in my farm my farm is Thailand . Thank you very much

[@davidsimpson9730]

why are you giving up a cutting?? if you can graze it early and in july but you don't graze it early why not hay it? I must be missing his point

[@chraleple9476]

David Simpson the whole point is to not own baling equipment, which is the number one cause to bankruptcy. Like buying a boat. Don’t buy a boat, become friends with an idiot who bought a boat. Running fuel, maintenance, and labor costs, a bale of hay will cost $10-15 to produce. Higher if you have small acreage. These same people are selling their bales for $3.50-$5. Talk about a great business idea.

[@MBMB-bx3mi]

you have not addressed winter grazing

[@willsheehan2975]

The audio is extremely difficult to hear.

[@wanderingtexan854]

All they think about is it is more work Lazy quit ranching

[@Gustav4]

So, we just took 1 of 4-5 cuts on 110 hectares on our grass fields with the mover in two days. The grass was 4-5 inches above my knee, really dense, and we made a record big pile this year. How am I to get so much grass at the right time and also have the right quality, by grazing it. That is where I see the biggest problem. Also our fields are small plots far away from each other and the small roads are busy so a move will require transportation with tractor. I think its a great idea on the big plans with lots of space and also in dry areas, but it can't compete with our method here, we really make a lot of silage here with the mover and wagons.

[@downbntout]

Stockpile it for winter.

[@chrisreid3358]

by shorting your grazing round. Dropping a paddock out and making silage out of that instead of across the whole farm. It's really not rocket science.

[@1mtstewart]

A thorough education on rotational or mob grazing cannot be earned in a video or two. It takes time, trial and error and holistic resource management to become more efficient and profitable before your suppliers take away your profits. No-till is not widely accepted yet by those with a yard full of tillage equipment. To properly graze any paddock there is a learning curve with many variables. First, begin grazing early. Second, if the grass gets ahead of you, skip some paddocks to cut mechanically. Third, when the grass grows fast, move fast. When the grass is slow growing move slow. Diversify types of forage among coolseason perrenials & annuals, warm season perrenials & annuals. Optimum intake is made when the crop is in the adolescent stage. Geritol grass may have made it to seed leaving stalks only. Baby grass is mostly water and will not stand pugging. By utilizing grazing 1/3(manuring) of the stand, the cows will trample 1/3(mulching) and leave 1/3 (regrowth). Cows will graze through snow in winter and a saved paddock will feed them more mature grass in the Spring for digestibility and fiber. Best of luck to you all.

[@TheGrmany69]

You need to describe the methodology followed if not the video is worthless.

[@andersbonders]

This video is a part of a series with the other videos discussing the farmer's methodologies. Check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIOcnqWhncR1r5o

[@TheGrmany69]

@@andersbonders Okay thank you, although I was more like thinking in technical methodology, but I enjoyed the video anyways.

[@tonidjakic]

Ha??!!

[@LtColDaddy71]

What I'm hearing is amateur hour here. LOL, on a serious note, this is a job. If you want to work 2 months per year rotating corn and soybeans, you'll have some good years here and there, but learn how to work with the land, and she will reward you with her bounty.
