now that's a bummer isn't it! Sorry to hear that

[@wendalhostetler4726]

There's a much better way than the vaccination way, just like Josh is talking about 👍🏼And it's like God intended it to be! God created it and said it was good! Raw milk,making bread from fresh ground flour from organic wheat berries for example is very healthy! So next time someone tells you that something is bad for you take it back to God's food, without chemical sprays , without being processed with chemicals, God's food is the real food, man has messed it up, God knew what he was doing! This world would be a lot healthier if everyone would eat real alive healing nutrition! Most people don't want take the time to build up there health because it takes years to do it! They'd rather pop a drug pill that fixes the symptoms but don't fix the real problem!

I recently started farming. Lived my entire life in the city. Retired early and bought 10 acres. I use Josh's method of grazing for ~2 years. Let me tell you, it works and my 5 cows love it, even my neighbors have complimented me on my healthy cows. It's not easy but worth it. My fridge is always full of grass-fed beef. Thanks, Josh

[@downtoearthconstruction7768]

I mob graze and other local farmers think I’m crazy 😂 no antibiotics, beautiful pastures, and it’s very enriching for the cows to not be in 💩 and have access to different terrain. The butcher even said to me last time he could tell I take care of my cattle by the fat tissue and color of the meat.

Josh, after the last couple videos you made, I decided to ask people in different age groups the same question, and got a lot of the same answers. What are cattle supposed to eat? The vast majority of them responded, " Grain", and some of them responded with, " I don't really know." These people don't understand! How sad! I'm so glad you're teaching this stuff, because the masses don't know.

I am listening to this and I think of my friend Skip. He was half Sioux and he passed a few years back due to COVID. He knew how to forage, he knew how to hunt, he knew how to fish. He rarely got anything from a traditional grocery store. He had a local butcher he'd visit and there was a baker he'd visit when he wasn't making his own bread. If he didn't know where something came from, he refused to buy and eat it. Only exception was an occasional bag of potato chips when he fried fish as he liked to crunch them up for breading.

You brought up a lot of fantastic ideas here. I was considering using the barn litter from our dairy goat herd and systematically placing it around the property to improve our soil health and bring thicker greener grass back for our forming cattle herd. I don't know how sandy your soil is, we have some very sandy spots and are considering doing a nonaggressive disc in with manure/old bedding application which may make the sandy soil a better grass producer. Thanks for all the regenerative tips!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

don't break the soil...just spread the manure/compost...it's as good as gold!

Best way to raise cattle, constantly rotating land, excellent

[@MisterBech]

Great video. I don’t have cattle but would like to regenerate areas of my weekend property in a part of Texas that was used for gravel mining. Some areas have super thick grass. I just cut with a walk behind brush hog and leave the cut grass to cover the ground and decompose. There is a nearby area that has zero topsoil and sparse covering of mounding grasses. I think I should try a variation something like this. I say variation because I don’t. Have the equipment to roll out hay bails but we could certainly spread by hand as it’s not a giant area. I also enjoyed your electric tractor review.

Good morning Josh!!

[@mikewigim2864]

I agree with you about the large confinement feeding operations being unhealthy. However, in the midwest, it is a financial decision to put pasture land into corn and soybean production. Twenty acres of soybeans makes a farmer more money than 20 cows grazing that land. 60 years ago, pasture was a common sight in the midwest. With the decline in beef and pork prices, most pasture land has been converted to tillage crops for a better profit margin.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

why can't we rotate cattle on a cover crop on that land after harvest? It's not about 20 cows grazing...it's about reducing the dependency on chemicals to heal the land.....when money alone guides our decision making process...we always end up losing. Beef prices are up right now...and we don't need to convert crop land....we need to farm holistically, rotate crops and rotate grazing animals to restore the soil

[@deeremt9532]

I think grass fed beef taste so much better. Do you plan on selling freezer boxes?

[@mtkreger]

Totally agree about not confining animals to tight spaces. Not necessarily...not responsible.

[@ThrillbilliesFishing]

What about Black Leg? Im with you except for black leg in my calves

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

black leg has not been an issue on this property....typically you'll get blackleg from overgrazed, open land or after grazing cattle behind hogs which have uprooted the soil and exposed the blackleg toxin to the cattle. Running them in briar patches, breaking their skin and exposing them to bare soil could also cause this. We vaccinate young steers if we castrate/band with tetanus and blackleg...otherwise it hasn't been an issue

[@stevesoutdoorworld4340]

Very neat way of farming. What is the magic number of cattle per grazing field?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

there is no "magic number" .....your farm will be different from my farm...and different from farmer Joe up the road...it's experience and trail and error in alot of cases that dictates cows per acre. We're up to about 50 now and will shortly have around 110 acres of pasture...goal is 75 brood cows

How many cow days does a roll of hay 'rolled out' feed???

[@blairM363]

Hey Josh, Do you mow and bail any of these pastures for your own hay? Or do you just buy hay? If you do intend to bail it can you explain how the timing of the rotation for moving the cows and the bailing works for that? Totally love you channel.

[@Melike1hit]

My same question

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

so...here's the rub. I planted these pastures the first year...every piece of grassland you see here was bare dirt when we cleared it. We seeded, limed and fertilized the first year...then second year I had the bright Idea of cutting hay off the land....this was before we had livestock. The next year we had a horrible crop of grass....because little did I know at that time...you can't just take from the land...you've gotta put something back. So...the answer now is that we buy high quality hay from a local producer...we use that hay to "feed the land" over the winter and build the soil....after about 3 years of this we'll be able to cut our own hay again...bringing minimal hay to the land. It's all about replacing carbon and nutrients naturally. So....if we plan to cut hay we'll give the pastures an extended rest period before we mow and bale. This would occur as we rotate the animals through in spring and fall. Stay tuned for more on this as we work on our system of rotation and hay cutting

[@cellen9554]

What type of pasture mix did you use for grass seed or did I you buy different varieties and mix yourself.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

we seeded with k32 fescue, lidino clover and purple top clover...the rest are native species and species that are in our hay bales that have seed. It's all about what's locally doing well and finding the right mix for what grows in your area

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

what I learned is move them twice a day......we started out last year moving once a day and when we started moving them twice per day we saw an immediate result...our grass recovered so much faster that we could graze again in 10-15 days!

The truth is that I have always eaten the cheap over the quality food. I am in great health in my latter 70's and people about me constantly comment on my strength and energy. I can work circles around almost anyone I work with. I attribute this to the luck of my gene pool. It isn't fair but some people are quite sickly while others are in prime health. Obviously, it is best to eat healthfully even though I have not. What has been horridly deficient in my eating habits is I have in no way contributed to the building of topsoil. I have aided the destructive results of tillage and feedlots on soil erosion. To my shame, I have contributed to the soil erosion catastrophe of America. Some of us are blessed to be able to eat so poorly and still remain healthy. That is no credential for doing so but it is a fact. I am ashamed it took me so many years to learn the difference, but I am now committed to changing my ways.

our land cost $2,000 per acre....every bit of farmland in this country is owned by someone......why not introduce grazing animals and cover crops instead of chemicals....it's about being a steward of the land.

You should have one or many that you know by name my friend

Feed your community, not the world we need to stop commercializing nature.

Grass fed beef tastes bad. Bison raised on grass tastes good. You have a good system but still the wrong animal. Bison is likely the wrong animal for your neighborhood. Grain fed beef is still better for you than high fructose corn syrup in a can. Sometimes there is no debate just where the scope of things is narrow or broad.

Are you nuts 🌰??

[@mattnejmanowski631]

just so ya know....when you comment like this, it doesn't make me look bad...in fact it has the opposite affect

Enjoy the content but be careful when making false statements. They will ruin your credibility. You often repeat the line about cows “wading belly deep in manure” in feed lots. That’s false. It’s not physically possible for cows to wade in anything that deep (except water). Stick to the truth and your message will benefit. Continue the rants and you’ll be grouped with the “chicken littles” of social media.

my friend....if you think speaking out about this is wrong...then we have a difference of opinion

[@7OaksRanch]

Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying what you’re doing is wrong. Just the opposite. I support what you’re doing. All I’m saying is cattle CAN NOT “wade in belly deep manure”. It’s an exaggeration and detracts from the truth of your message. I was only trying to help you improve your messaging.

Pasture raised grass fed to me tasted way better! Looks healthier at the grocery store as well! ❤
