Not sure why the sight of your beautiful cows makes me so happy, Greg. But thank you!

[@smithfamilypastures]

Your cattle are looking great! Hopefully y’all will catch a rain soon.

[@marvinbaier3627]

Thanks for the video! I think we haven’t had rain around 30 days someone was saying. Our newer pasture is looking a little stress, but the pasture that been rotating for 4 years looks fantastic. I say Greg Judy grazing is the way to go within your own contexts. I was hoping to do a video today on the pasture I seeded in 2020. My other pasture some of it looks great while other parts not so much. We have 3-4 acres that is way ahead of schedule of growing grass. Our shorter pasture is taking awhile to take off. I bet our worse pasture is probably 2-3 inches tall at its peak. I know rolling hay in the winter will make it change quicker.

Good idea with the 2 posts crossing just sitting on the driveway gonna usethat

[@markpiersall9815]

With all the dust you probably need eye goggles and masks. Try using a Sinus squeeze bottle an hour before bedtime to clean that dust out of your nose; you may sleep better. It is during these hot sunny dry days a Silvopasture shows it's value over an open pasture.

Greg, SW Missouri hasn't had any rain since June, again! This year. We are not in a D4 again only because we had mild floods in the spring skewing the averages. 3 years running of severe droughts and trying to recover a pasture from conventionally (over)grazed putting green has brought us an almost perfect stand of chest high ragweed. it wasn't terrible because the sheep loved it. now its getting real woody. We have been unrolling hay and moving flock for about 2 years now 60ish days rest per paddock. We don't have a brush hog, hadn't planned on getting one. Guess we will have to. was hoping winter would kill the ragweed and create more carbon matter. Any suggestions?

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

It’s almost too late to mow it. Trample it on the ground this winter to feed the soil.

Mr Judy sir , how many sheep can I run on 7acres in taney county southern Missouri ???

[@ligurian728]

The proof of the pudding is in the tasting (or eating). ;-)

[@bj1335]

Greg the Grass Master ! do you have any army-worm issues ? How do or would you manage them.

[@gregjudyregenerativerancher]

So far we have never had an issue with army worms here. Keeping a large diversity of plant species in your pastures certainly helps ward off army worms. They love monocultures.

[@bj1335]

@@gregjudyregenerativerancher gotcha, thank ya. We are mainly Bermuda and crabb and little Johnson. We are in central Arkansas what additional species would be top of your mind to add to our pasture. I thought of calling Hamilton seed you recommended to see what we could add.

What is the minimum amount of land needed for a starter flock of sheep?

[@devinsullivan7233]

An acre for a few… A few acres for a bunch.

[@PrismaticFarm]

@@devinsullivan7233an acre isn’t enough for anything but maybe a few poultry

[@nikkityson8170]

A good rule of thumb is 1000 pds of animal unit per 1 acre. So that is 1 cow or 5 to 7 sheep. That's also in WI, check with your extention to see what they recommend. That being said, 3 or more acres is a good start for 5 to 7 sheep, just so you don't run out of grass. Hope that helps

What is the temperature of a killerfrost?

[@johnlynn6291]

That's highly variable depending on numerous factors: What types of plants are you worried about What portions of the plant(vegetation, fruit, bloom) Humidity Wind speed How long does it stay cold
