Thanks for sharing. We are just really starting into the grazing business. So much to learn. I just watched a video on another farming channel, just a few acres, and he was talking about how two years ago he went from mob grazing, moving them every day, to hole field grazing and his dexter steers came back 100 lbs heavier from the processor. I thought that was very interesting. Way less work with pretty significant gains. I’m sure there are lots of variables involved but interesting nonetheless.

Allowing selective grazing will improve animal performance in the short run. It’s the long term effects on the soil and forages that make it a poor choice. To maintain a system like that requires significant input costs over the long-run

Is your plan to continue with full blood corriente or will you eventually keep back beef cross heifers and replace your herd with those? Maybe do a video on your future plans with what your herd looks like. I realize your goal is weaning the most pounds of beef per acre, but if you can do that while increasing calf value, that maximizes profit. Thanks!! Love your channel..

Hair sheep are very cheap right now. You should pick up a decent set of ewe lambs and put them with the cows. The coyotes might pick them off sooner rather than later.... or they may bond close enough to the cattle to stay protected. Could go either way. Sheep will tear into milk weed, rag weed, iron weed, and other stuff before they eat grass. They won't eat everything but they are pretty easy to break to hotwire. You probably need some labor help before messing with it because a hot wire at cow height is likely not to work.... need a one very low wire to get them used to it. Edit: I don't mean to suggest setting the sheep up for failure... but when you can pick up a sheep about as cheap as a bottle of weed killer..... you know what I am saying. LOL. Also I know you don't feed cattle grain... but another way to look at a bucket of grain is a bush hog mower. My cows got just enough grain to know it taste good. Never as a source of actual feed. With any thick pile of brush or weeds that the cows ignore, throw a scoop here and a scoop there of grain into the center of those places and let the cows lay it all down on the ground. Its an investment for the next pass through. Trying to leave the tractor shut off here as well.

I’m a believer in sheep and it’s a great time to buy them. If I bring home another flock or herd right now though, I’d be experiencing my second divorce. Need to get some more help on the farm first

@@grazing365 Well, its super hard to find any prime aged men to work. Either they have a really good job or none at all. From what I can see, many young farmers are more interested in trying to make it with social media than sweat equity.... wasting the best years of their life being a BS artist. Good luck finding help. I have been putting up woven wire solo for several months now just doing sections at a time. People don't like this kind of work anymore. LOL.

Right after. At that point we were beginning to really pack them in tightly. Animal performance was the barometer on just how tight each day

@@grazing365 can you speak about “why” the grazing method change and how you discovered it in one of your vids? Sorry if you already have and I missed it. I will speculate like I, you were less than impressed with the 1/2 1/2 selective methods? I’m really having “aha moment” with it this year. I’m surprised more people haven’t heard of or implement it. I’m floored with the results we’ve had in such a short time period. Thanks Ben

I am learning myself and wanted to ask about allowing them to be more selective to improve BCS. Does giving them a larger space for a set period of time vs covering the same amount of space in incremental moves over the same period of time make a difference in improving BCS? In other words, yesterdays video you said you gave them about 4 acres for the afternoon. I realize it requires more labor but if you gave them the same amount of space and moved them say 3 times during the afternoon how is that any different and how would that intense of grazing be detrimental to their nutritional intake vs giving them the entire field for the afternoon? again, it just seems you could accomplish both objectives(regeneration and BCS) with more moves although i realize that requires more labor- so the question is just for my understanding then the choice is ours to make!

Have you thought about putting up bird boxes around on the fields for fly control? It would definitely require knowing what fly catching birds are local to your area.

Also, just a thought - if that cow that isn't maintaining condition on your farm, but comes from good stock and would potentially have a few more calves in her life, perhaps a starting farmer would be willing to buy her and improve their bloodline. Just trying to think outside the box.

We peaked last year with a little over 700 head. We are running 85 mamas on 100 acres now while resting 350 for stockpile. We are understocked pretty significantly
