Greg & Isaac are converting a Tennessee ranch into a profitable grazing operation. 

PLEASE! Keep up on the progress of this location! Going to be a brilliant example and will give so much insight to those of us looking at old land in new ways. Many thanks for the inspiration.

Greg, your ability to share your knowledge is phenomenal and a true blessing. Isaac, you can write your own ticket man.

Most farms in Tennessee need your help. Its a shame more people aren't willing to try something different. Excellent job, gentlemen.

Can you imagine the knowledge Isaac has gained under Greg’s wing. That kid was already sharp as a knife beforehand, he will be very successful in life.

I believe this video have the most excited viewers just by reading the comments

Super excited for the land owner. It's going to be amazing. So beautiful.

You can post a 1 hour video of this project every day, I will watch every minute.

What an exciting situation for you guys to visit such a beautiful place and help solve their problems! This gives me hope for the regenerative agriculture movement if folks with thousands of acres are jumping on board.

You're being the trail blazer you were born to be Greg. Love your work and dedication to this holistic approach to raising cattle.

At the beginning with the mountain in the back ground is heavenly

They have the right men for the job for sure 👍 beautiful looking place

Yep, I was going to say that it looks like a golf course and by summer it may look like a dust bowl. There just is no rest for the grass happening there. Its lovely to hear the new managers are on board. The front yard has more grass than the pasture. I hope they aren't using any pour on or poisons on the cows.

1,200 acres of grass and no snow. Wow no wonder you both are excited 😆 Incredible farm and view for sure. Work your magic and steer them like you know how. What a great opportunity to utilise your expertise and know how. The owner made the right decision and cannot wait to see what the overall plan and development becomes! Congratulations and Blessings upon you and Issac.

looking forward to future updates on this project.... It's like a clean sheet of paper at the moment....

Those things that need changing or built will be done in days weeks. Resting the ground takes time. Once the major work is done it will be just watching grass grow, kind of like watching paint dry. I'll be here for updates as usual. Blessings owners.

Nice! Would be interesting to have some soil benchmarks from nutrient analysis, soil organic matter...infiltration rate... and if you put some reference stakes in the soil around the farm with a zero at soil level. All those parameters will be going up over time with the changes in pasture management.

A second RU-vid? Would love to follow the progress there as well as your channel. So much actual wisdom with the proof right in front of the camera.

Beautiful ranch! Looks like tons of potential for grazing all year after the land and grass has a chance to start recovering and growing. Will look like a different ranch in 2 to 3 years and better beyond if water, grass and cattle are managed well into the future.

So awesome Greg that you are helping them.

I would like to see an aerial view with water sources and paddocks setup .

Really cool opportunity! I'll be looking forward to seeing updates on this project. It would make an amazing case study for an agricultural school!!

Beautiful opportunity! Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see it in 2 months! (after the new set up of course)..

Looking forward to Grazing School in early May. You and countless others have inspired me over the years and I recently left Corporate America for a homesteading lifestyle. Documenting my journey as I build a farm from the ground up. Thank you for the inspiration

Looks like my part of the state! Glad you were able to come help a fellow Tennesseean.

Wow! Great opportunity. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the video

It is most certainly a very interesting project. Would love to be able to watch the progress of this farm set up as it happens but I guess that's not in the cards. But I guess we will get a progress report a couple a times a year. It would be great to see what grows on the land when it is given a chance to do so and with the cow patties doing their job and increase in worm production... Cheers

Love what you do. Wish I had more land to be able to do your grazing. Unfortunately I have to feed alot of hay a year. But hopefully will be able to expand and start your way

So great to see innovation happening.

Beautiful farm with huge opportunities! I'am totally positive that you guys will completely change this location with your regenerative grazing methods!

Loving the ranch it’s was beautiful up by the house

It must be such and awesome feeling being able to positively influence the future of that ranch and those animals and the people involved (and get paid!). This needs to be done over and over again in this state for sure. Enjoy your work and know that Tennesseans other than those on that ranch are THRILLED to see better grazing coming to the area.

😲WOW!!! Look at that green grass.

Woodpeckers going crazy throughout video as well as Carolina wren

I would love to see an update on this ranch occasionally to see how things are going. In two years, I think the owner is going to greatly surprised by the success..

I would love to see when in the 2nd rotation. Still a lot to be done I am sure after that but seeing the rest, then into the 2nd after cattle on it once and recovered.

Beautiful property!!

That place looks awesome! I always told Monica (my wife) when we retire I want to move to Tennessee! I think Missouri, Tennessee, Kansas, and along that area is the best place to have cattle year round for stockpiling if you are doing it correctly like Greg Judy way. One of these years, I want to take a vacation down there to see the area. Usually I go to Missouri though. I love Missouri too! Thanks again for all your videos!

Wonderful. This is great information.

That looks like a beautiful location with immense opportunity. The follow up down the track will be intriguing! I'd also love to see some follow up on the Arizona project you were involved in a while ago, as that dry landscape is a lot closer to much of our farmland here in Australia.

It’s beautiful

Good video. Thanks.

Wow. I think you should talk more about that difficult transition from conventional grazing to rotational. I don't think people expect the harsh transition period.

Thanks Greg for sharing. Hopefully this ranch will increase the number of available Souuth Poll Cattle here in TN! Tim

Looks like middle tennessee. I’d like to know just so I can watch their progress and see them succeed!

Hey Greg, I'd love to see you practice your agricultural and ranching magic on some ranch in Wyoming where managing beef cattle is where it's really at! Almost every rancher needs hay for the winter and brither, it's yough to grow and cut in the short season!

They need a couple Judy bale unrollers, stat!!!

Looks like the East Tn sequachee valley. Beautiful area.

Wish i lived there

I was planning on retiring in Tennesse and got priced out of the market. Good work guys

I would really like to see videos of that farm every month or 6 weeks..

Pure potential

That's a gorgeous place. Can't wait to follow the progress. I'd also like to know more about how you design the layout especially for the water. We have 40 acres that I'm planning to run water line onto from a well and I've watched I believe all of your videos but I still don't know where is the best place to run the line or how you determine that. I'm thinking just toward the middle with connect points every hundred feet or so along the way but not sure.

We need a follow up video to this farm.

Nice spot. I love living in Tennessee. My little peice of land is pretty but not quite that good. 😁

PLEASE Keep us Updated if possible. Make a Series out of it ?

Looks like East Tennessee- Smoky Mountains

Get an example like this turned around, in two or three years you’ll have more consults than you can handle. Probably need to start working on the Marketing too. I’ll buy Judy solar powered beef over Laura’s lean beef any day.

Will they be changing to South Poll cows or do they already have smaller structured cows?

WOW!

What kind of cattle are they grazing? Cattle that will develop on grass alone?

I was on a similarly beautiful ranch like that in Middle TN just a few weeks ago, it was a old dairy farm that was now a beef ranch, and had 1000 or better acres of rolling hills, all pastured to DEATH. Skinny cows, ugly manure pats. SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! I sure hope these folks get with the program and more start by their example. I'd like my state to be greener, and can only do so much myself.

Greg all your videos are top notch. But this one even though it's the beginning could be one of the best. In my opinion. I just love fixing, creating, building, change. I hope probably like a lot of your viewers, we would love to see the updates an progress here at this place. My curiosity question is... obviously 400+ head just in general was way to many for the ground. Is that the main reason you guys cut some from the hurd or did you notice other things with the cows?

Sounds like Dolly Parton

Curious about hay fields, do you typically graze them in the fall? In Canada, we cut hay in early july and by sept/oct its at least 6 in+ and we start to get winter in nov/dec.

I wonder what the actual carrying capacity will be when the rotations are rolling.

This what you mean by 200. 192 cows, 8 bulls, 192 calves and 192 yearlings in the growing season, harvest 192 head at 18 months? During the dormant season, on 1200 acres, 3 acres for every head? Once you heal the land, During dormant season can you increase stock to 2 acres per every head?

Great to see you’re into regenerative agriculture. That is a beautiful ranch! What does land like that cost per acre in Tennessee? I think the first thing I would do there, is overseed all the pastures. Regenerative agriculture is the way farmers need to manage their farms, now and in the future. The cost of fertilizers today, should motivate them to make the switch to regenerative agriculture. If you haven’t seen this video series yet, check out Gabe Brown’s video series, titled: “Treating the Farm as an Ecosystem with Gabe Brown, Part 1, The Five Tenets of Soil Health.” Gabe Brown’s farm only gets 11 inches of rain per year and he’s up in North Dakota. If he can do it successfully up there, you should have much quicker success in Tennessee. The video series is very good and he throws in some really good humor, as well. Check it out. Subscribed!

Where do you put the cows when you are letting the pastures rest?

I hear the woodpecker in the background

Where at in TN?

Having capitol doesn't hurt

Must be nice to have a paved driveway. Obviously not short on capital.

What do you think about land that was recently trees and cut down? Would it be suitable for grazing?

No snow, but their is or will be competition from urban sprawl and row crop. The only way this works is a rich landowner.

Where is this farm? In Tennessee myself and looking to be a farm hand

Wow, how I would love to own 1,299 acres if grass,

sounds like two herds then?... or have ya got an underpass?...

Where or who do you market your calves to?

FarmVille or FarmTown? We can hope your unwillingness to name the owners means that one day Regen Ag may have a vocal advocate in another sphere of influence

I’m thinking they won’t be buying fertilizer anymore lol great plan with these prices coming

Will y’all hold up the heard on the poorest plot so the fertility will go up after rotation starts or is it more complicated

Why is all the barbed wire on the wrong side of the posts?

If they make a air bnb it would be rented every weekend wake up to a view

🐊🦅🇺🇲❤

What is the prevailing grass there?

Will they get any sheep.

👀👂🤝

Pikeville TN

Stop posting pretty videos of Tennessee! There are already too many people moving here!

Better look into that cough you have there.

Great opportunity! Best wishes..

G&I need to start a channel. Looks like they'll pick us all up as subscribers. Great project! What an opportunity!

is this in the Sequatchie Valley? looks familiar.
