Great content, you're getting some really good animal impact. Hopefully you can hold on to that land a while cause I know you're doing it justice and I want to see your hard work pay off!
We don't have any dung beetle activity in the winter once it starts warming up they are everywhere...3 day old pats are basically gone and 3 month old pats are still there...north louisiana
Great very helpful information. I got some heifers 4 months ago and don't have very many dung beetle. If they get wormed before I get them mabe it's why don't have much duns beetle. The pasture is only a few years old .Corn for years .
Great video. Love the walk back in time. I haven't wormed in 4 years and still no dung beetles have shown up. I bought some from Texas last April and thought they were off to a great start. I started finding them in so many pastures, and long way off that I began to wonder if the locals had returned. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a single one yet this year. Im wondering if the winter killed the Texas beetles.
We'd worm but with like pumpkin, Aloes, flax seed, & garlic blender. which works better then you think. If we bring couple new bulls we give em a worm run and fast fast paddock moves. if you time it right and move a bit more. Mostly do it by spot to figure out worm load. But anything that is sketchy enough to worm isn't staying with the herd and the line might end if it's a little too common in that line. But we do follow that cattle around and check the poo because we have been wrong a time or two. Plus, the samples it's good to know. I think though some worm load is important for there immune system.
I was watching a few vids from Jim Elizondo. He explained a great deal of what was going on, studying, evaluating, on how long on what and why He explained very briefly the half of the farm letting go to mature, then use for stockpile. I think it had to do with the mature plants impact on microbes differently, so eventually you get a batter soil. Plus a lot on his compost tea. Are you doing tea and can you comment?
