Stacking hay on wood posts pays huge dividends! 

Mr. Judy, would you consider doing some book keeping videos or some other financials and numbers of running a ranch. I know a lot of people in my generation (millennials) and the younger (gen z) generation are becoming interested in investing, personal finance, entrepreneurship, savings, etc. I think we could learn a lot from successful operations about how to stay in business, expand, market, managing input costs, inheritance, bookkeeping, client relationships , maintenance and all those best practices in running a profitable ranch and farm. Thank you.

Great stuff! Love the practical and neighborly advise! Tractor sure warm on a cold day. I love putting my gloved hands right on the muffler you know.

For the past year I've been watching your channel with my niece nd nephew who are 3 years old and 1.5years old. They LOVE cows, probably almost as much as I do. Every morning they come to me to be babysat and they get so excited to see cows on your channel. When they are missing their mommy after she leaves for work, I ask them if they want to go watch cows and they get so excited. So all three of us sit down and put on Greg Judy and his cows and they are happy as can be. Thank you for bringing us into your world and teaching your methods of regenerative ranching. Such an inspiration! Much love from NY and God bless. ❤️

Hi Greg, great video. What you pointed out about the bottom of the bale rotting is a HUGE pet peeve of mine! For the hay that I bale myself I wrap 4 times, which people have said is too much, and I put the hay on pallets. When it comes time to use the hay, it's nearly perfect 8 months later. A local producer who I sometimes buy hay from, and who puts up quality hay, drops the ball when storing it, he just puts it on the ground, and it becomes a giant wick for water. Recently, I bought some hay from him and was told it was "good hay", but when I took off the wrap, which was 1 1/2 or 2 times wrapped, and tried to load it into my Hustler TX205 bale processor, the hay just fell apart and the rot was causing a lot of problems. VERY FRUSTRATING!!! Your idea is even better than the pallets, just wish I could find the logs around here. Thanks for the video.

What about old electric poles

What length do you cut your post? What is the ideal diameter of your oak posts? Thank you in advance.

👍⭐👍⭐👍

I had some logs that were torched to create a layer carbonized wood - the Japanese process of Shou sugi ban and the logs lasted for 20 years and still solid

I stack them like mushrooms. Thats the best way for me. I feed 2000 bales a year so space is limited

Build a pallet with the mill slabs and use the tractor to stack and move them when you are done with them.

Greg, put cheyenne pepper in your boots when it is cold. Your feet will be hot if you are moving. If you are just sitting still not so good, but when you are moving your feet cheyenne will keep them warm and is cheaper too!

Keeping those bales up off the ground is amazing as well as practical!

If you feed much hay you do not have your priorities right if you do not have space to store them inside. Very easy to figure how bales stored inside pay for the cost of the storage by preventing waste and vastly improving the quality of the hay.

Been using pallets for years, BUT I get them at no cost.

I'm loosing all my hay storage this year but I burn all my mulberry to heat my house. My idea is to cut rectangles of silage plastic that are only the size of the foot print of the bale, thoughts?

Another great education, thanks Greg. I've now started reading your second book. I finished reading the first one yesterday.

😁👍👌✌🖖 😎

Nice video! Very therapeutic. Thanks from Texas.

Mr. Judy, great educational video. Does the bale netting provide adequate protection from the rain? Do you experience any ruined bales from the weather?

i love how i will click on one of your videos expecting to learn one thing related to the title, then greg drops knowledge 7, 8, 9, 10 times... passion and mastery when combined just oozes benefit to everyone else. TFP!

Nice

Love watching Greg. My wife and I never miss a video. Enjoy applying your methods to our herd

I would be interested in a kit for the bale unroller that I do all the welding and assembly

Put one bale on end with one on top called mushroom stacking. No rot and no need to put anything under them

How about making a bale strip similar to your rock pond entrance? They would have 100 percent drainage and they would never wear out.

My feet are super susceptible to cold. I have found that two layers of wool socks with hand warmers in between on top of the toes can keep you comfy all day. Just found your channel tonight- I really admire your approach to ranching. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

I remember my Mum and her best friend would wear kitchen gloves under their snowmobile gloves to keep their hands warm when they went out snowmobiling. I wonder if that would help you out. A few days ago I was out playing in the snow with my shovel and salt scoop and I noticed a big difference between my leather gloves and the hot paw gloves that I usually wear and the hand knitted trigger fingered wool mittens that I wore that morning my hands felt warm 🤷🏼‍♀️👍👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🎇🎆🌠

not sure how this hit my recommended feed but im glad it did. many blessings brother

We are cold in Missouri for a February.

Looks great.

here in Michigan we lose a ton of hay unless we tarp it I’ve tried stacking them iend to end and I get horrible results thanks for showing us that tip that’s a pretty fancy tractor you got for a grazer

Crisscross several layers of your sawmill slabs.

Thank you. Be safe.

Greg, if pattern for bale unroller did not come from John Deere or someone who already has a copyright on it, might work for you to get one ! Enjoy watching your videos and all the swishing tails....

You need to get a team of horses on that Bale unroller. Zero Compaction, quiet and they eat fuel produced on your farm.

Mr. Judy one thing I notice and agree with you on is You do not butt your bales up end to end. Doing that is one of the most wasteful ways to ruin Your hay. It not only costs You money but robs Your cattle of good nutrition at a time when they need it most. Setting Your bales on posts is an excellent idea!

Do you worm the dogs ? Or worry about ticks.

Greg says "I have to move those posts" Greg means "Ben and Isak have to move those posts" ha ha ha

Can't sit idle can ya'? I'm the same.

What about using high flotation tires on your tractor to reduce mudding up fields.

Greg will you show us where the cows are going to be when it gets below zero, because I am worried about them. ❤️ 🐄

What size tractor do you have there?

God bless Mr Paul!

Railroad ties would be worth the money since it lasts forever

Do you have alot of moldy hay from leaving them outside?

If you have old timber pallets they work well too
