Come join me, Russ, on the farm as we take a in depth look at what it takes to manage Wilson Land & Cattle Co. We'll explore grazing, innovative time saving, increased profitability, low stress livestock handling, herd health, and many other ways of thinking out of the box.
Thanks for the video! I notice my cattle can handle the heat way better than my sheep, but I also have heat tolerant cattle though. They rather be in the sun than be under shade when there’s a breeze but sometimes they will be under trees when there’s no breeze when it gets in the 90s and above.
I am thinking we are going have hotter summers meaning more upper 80 /90 degree days to deal with. My cows are doing well. Now the creeks and springs that is another story. Be well Russ Wilson family, farmer rod
If that pipe ends up to be too thin and leaking. I was able to get HDPE black 160 psi rolled pipe cheaper at a local plumbing supply than at the local big box stores. It was about 1/2 price. When I got it a couple of years ago it was $0.35 per foot. A lot more than 0.10 but I can run it a normal pressure without a reducer.
I like the edits but the content is what makes a good video. I just found your channel, subscribed. How are you liking your 360 camera? I just got one myself because my gopros gave out. Looking forward to watching more of your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Russ you do you, whatever kind of video you think expresses the teacher in you, the length should be as long or short as you need to get the point across on that topic. Thank you and your family for sharing. 👍
I was just looking for a low cost way to get water to my chickens and your video was exactly what I needed! I’ve ordered the materials and I’m looking forward to not hauling water!
I watch to learn, not to see "artistic" shots or perfect shots. Your time is precious - we can always scroll past, if needed, and do our own editing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time.
I think less editing is usually better. I would expect that would favor more but smaller videos given how long editing takes. It's actually pretty rare for to need to see a detailed demonstration, like grafting.
Thats a very nice place you have, good to see the kids helping. I've got a similar system except I ran 1-1/4" poly pipe 1500ft to the back of my property. I found a couple leaks due to the high pressure I need to go 100ft up the hill to a holding tank, and I found gorilla glue works great if you put some on the coupler and reassemble and give it time to cure. It works faster with a bit of water on the glue.
Thanks for the video! I like both videos so it’s up to you. Do you think they will be enough pressure to go up and down hills? I have a pasture that’s about 1500’ from the house. I have 21 sheep and 7 head of cattle with some calves.
You need to do it dial what fits your personality and style Are you in Idaho I use the 250 psi HDPE pipe it handles being in our ground with the amount of frost we get. A rock can move around the pipe as it comes up the frost. It's also weldable so I don't have clamps Underground. If the pipe is on top of the ground that heavy wall plastic I can run over with the tractor and not damage it
Russ. I really appreciate your videos because you keep with your farm operation and not the drama of the weather or what happened to my tractor. I have recommended your videos and find them educational and informative. Thanks for all you do.
I greatly appreciate your all your content and learn a lot from it. My suggestion would be to try to stay on subject until you finish a thought or description that is underway and minimize the distractions and temporarily tangents (such as the name of a cow that just walked up). It may just be me, but it drives me nuts when someone is talking on one subject and suddenly switches to something unrelated and the proir thought is left hanging. Another thing that I think is very common to regenerative ranching videos is un-néeded descriptions of the lay of the land; "this field goes back to that tree line and then there's a creek over that hill". I personally believe that those kind of "big picture" descriptions waste a lot of time and are not really informative or necessary.
So what's your plan with the hose?? Just going ro let it lay an put quick connect in it, or it just a long run to be able to hook your garden hose up to at far end of field. Thanks
Russ, all contend produces & sharers should remember that you are asking also from your audience: you ar asking that we share x-min of our life with you. because of this I hate >10min video's. I prefer the Greg Judy style. one topic, no turning around and so on, so you need endless time to get to the point. might be for the monetizing not so good for youtube but in the end, where does your income from? From youtube or from your work.
I have a heck of a time getting metal fittings to seal in that plastic pipe. I usually end up using two hose clamps on one end. But I'm not using a pressure regulator and I'm running around 50 p s i. I might need to try a regulator.
Edited videos are far more useful. Those rambling 'talking' videos tend to lose the point after about 3-4min. It seems as though they go over and over the same statements without actual benefit to the viewer.
Hey Russ, I think you do a good Job cutting your videos. I think if you talk about a topic for 10 Minutes like Greg does in his videos, it‘s absolute ok to do it uncut. For the construction videos cutting makes sense and will lead to a more enjoyable and professional result. I think both has it‘s place.
Tried that thin wall pipe and had problems because rocks in the trench when backfilling would crush it. It must be bedded in sand or soil only and then it was fine.
RUSS, you do great videos. Time is valuable it's entirely up to you how you want to put your videos out. I'm pretty sure I will watch them however you do them
Russ you produce a quaulity and enjoyable video. Time is precious as we all know. You should do what you enjoy. Maybe do it both ways depending on time available and the topic you are presenting. It is good to see you all. M's getting her steps today. Be well Wilson family, farmer rod
Russ I think it is a constant battle for time with producers that share on RU-vid. I know you put a lot of time and thought into the videos you put out so I think it has to come down to what you feel is of value while still fits your schedule. I know as a viewer I enjoy both formats for different reasons and I would not stop watching your videos if you just did the constant shoot format. I understand it is a constant battle so please do what works for you and your family. Your true viewers will watch either way.
Yep, in the summer we are doing 45k lbs with a 150 gallon tank with a high flow. Would like to try a lower gallon more of a troth with the high flow valve. Less weight easy to move but lots of ares for drinking
