Mob of cows steam rolled entire grass paddock to replenish litter bank. Go to our website: greenpasturesfarm.net and check out my books on how to make a good living grazing grass. Ben and Issac are learning the importance of having a good litter bank to ensure future grass growth.

I wonder how long it would take that grass (plus clover, and other plant life) to fully recover? At about 8:40 the light is so that one can REALLY see what the vegetation looks like after 290 heads of cattle have been there for a short while! What I would love to see one time is a time lapse of how grass regenerates over the next number of days (if it isn't even faster). That would be a great way to see how it recovers and how long that takes! Actually that is an aspect to grass that some people might not know: that it has been after driven or walked on, after having been trampled, grass in fact can actively repair itself. It 'glues' the more or less loose parts back together in those places where cracks and breaks have appeared with latex-like compounds it contains, and it also regrows plant cells that are damaged beyond repair. It is be cause of that capacity that grass can take so much 'abuse' and of course that also is why it is so suitable for application on for instance football fields.

I watched a video showing how much soil had been grown in 2 years using planned grazing, they had put a fence post in with a steel bar going horizontal at the bottom of the post and touching the ground when they put it in, that steel bar was 2 inches below the surface two years later. You could do make the same experiment maybe.

Thank-you. I keep forgetting that the summer grass etc is a green manure *as well as* forage for the lifestock and, *as well* as feed to the soil biology. Back in the day (1976-82ish) when I had three or four ewes and their lambs on a one acre field, grazed in quarters just for the spring to autumn at Mint Cottage, Downe in Kent (the village where Charles Darwin lived), we were doing just this. Happy times!

Mr. Judy, when my sheep see me setting up new paddock, they want to jump the temp fence into the new space because they know when they see me with stakes and a reel, they are moving to fresh. Would love to stop this behavior and can only think I'll have to set up several paddocks at once and be real sneaky about putting up new ones in the rotation. How do you do it?

It doesnt have to be the musical Oklahoma grain vs cattle. If we went back to mixed farming and scaled it to 3000 acres all this prep work and grazing you did and carbon banking a producer could land roll this spray it and zero till drill this in the spring. Think of the crop they could grow and the reduction of inputs and labour.

Going to be retiring soon and want to give this everything I have. All of this seems like common sense. As I drive through cattle country in my area no one is following this methodology. Same cattle same awful looking pasture every day week in week out. Sure this method is more labor intensive but it's not unreasonable. The reward is obvious. My thought process is the healthier the pasture the healthier the cattle. Faster growing cattle. To the market sooner cattle. The ROI is better.

Hey Greg, I visited Don Jackson's place a couple weeks ago, and he says hello. My place is small (less than 30 acres, 20 cows/calves total) and probably over-grazed. I am thinking I need to decrease my herd size and let the grass catch back up. I haven't done a soil test, and thinking about adding chicken litter to boost fertility. Anything else I should consider?

Seeding with plant species other than grass. Forbs, legumes, missing warm or cold grass species, and most important, 42+ days of rest (Gabe Brown). Presumption: you are fencing off smaller plots and rotating through your property.

When you talk about the baby calves, you say "fly Tags", Is that just to help the babies growth rate because the flies affect them more or did you mean they are regular tags? I've been reading, can't seem to find reference to if the fly tags are detrimental to the dung beetles, seems they would be the least invasive for of treatment.

Greg has an advantage by holding the camera. and knowing how loud and clear a person has to voice the topic to be heard. More time on camera will fix it. Run in front of the camera, don't wait for the shot to find you (Think 'Cole The Cornstar'. Don't know who he is, well he's just a 22 year old farmer trying to get some stuff done. In less than a year he went from 16k Subs to over 300k Subs) then just go at it.

Graze, trample rest, graze trample, rest, keep repeating. Stop haying the land, you have no litter bank. Without a ground litter bank you will always have tons of weeds. Once the hay is removed your soil is exposed to the heat, little moisture is held, soil life stops working. This video is proof. This was a cropped field full of cocklebur plants when I leased this farm. A ruminant mob is the only tool you have to heal your land.

@Mr Sigma I disagree. The USDA's stated bias is that small farms are out dated, and backward. We must get big or get out. Consume other farmer's livelyhoods or be consumed. There would be more money in our pockets without a regulatory agency who's using our tax dollars against us, and is inextricably tied to an industrial orthodoxy that says any critique of the conventional is irrelevant because it is anti technology, and any technology that can be applied to farming is good that saves labor, and liberates the population from the drudgery of physical labor even if it nessisarily pushes people from the land into urban ghettos where they are marginalized unemployed, and unemployable. Let them count flies. They won't get any thanks from me. Anyone who has seen swallows has seen that they eat flies prolifically. I won't be taking their free advice, because they are committed to the destruction of my livelihood, and my community, and their educated experts are not farmers.

I wonder how this would work in Northern California in our Mediterranean climate. We have short very wet winters, 30 inches or more of rain in a few months, then virtually no rain for around seven months. We have no management because areas that used to be grazed are now "protected" and we don't have the numbers of wild elk, deer etc we had before the massive population boom. The grass lands are just left to grow weak weeds and then brown. The soil must have no organic material as it is hard packed clay that sheds water when it is hard pan, then turns into the worst slick mud you can imagine, (I was in the Army, so I've seen a lot of mud) but can't hold onto the water and we have floods. We have unbelievable fire problems in October as everything is so dry. There are millions of acres that are no longer allowed to be used for grazing that I believe should have ruminant animals cycled on by knowledgeable ranchers.
