Livestock know how to forage in snow - Winter Grazing Pt 2

Let’s dive in to winter grazing planning we mentioned in Part 1.

By allowing healthy paddocks to rest leading up to winter, you stockpile forage, ensuring your animals have enough to graze on even during the harshest winters.

Yes, it's possible even in regions like Saskatchewan, Minnesota, Alberta, and beyond, where winter can be severe. By mimicking natural grazing patterns and implementing strategic land management, AMP grazing enables your farm to thrive year-round.

Ranchers who have been doing it the old way (high input, low profit margin) have a hard time with new information. I love to see that we're bridging that gap. I'm only in my 30s, and plan to master this craft to show what's possible and feed generations. Thank you for keeping the information flowing.

Keep going, guys, we need more content like this.

Doing it right!!! Kinda gives a person hope ❤

[ongoingawakening]

I’m so thankful for these techniques being brought to all these good old boys. it’s hard to get the word out.

[phoenixgate]

It’s wonderful to see sustainably, regenerative farming, and animal husbandry all in one video ❤

[mistyglenn]

Brilliant philosophy. So much can be learned from our farmers.

[urielflames]

I love these natural Farmers they're making the world so much better.

[hoowbone]

What's your experience with rain, wind, cold and animal health?

My neighbor came to my door and said she was going to call the police because my horse was out in the snow instead of in the barn I showed her that my barn doors open 24/7 and he chooses to come out and she went off on me over my fenceline and the smell of my one horse

[marlenewebster]

His voice reminds me of the pasture pig farmer

[happytriggerfinger]

Is this relevant/true for Sweden too? Mid canada latitude

[debbyengland]

Hahaha, guess for twenty years i just raised stupid cows cause if they couldnt see it they ALWAYS required hay bales.

[debbyengland]

Cows are not raised to be smart they are raised to be food. Smart ones dont stick around for the end people

[debbyengland]

Not a regenerative practice its a starving practice.
If a cow cant see it she wont dig for it. Some horses do, cows, sheep dont. They starve. They also will die of thirst before they step on that ice and break it.
People its tough to farm. Thats why nobody does it.
Dont kid yourself, it aint for sissies

[leelindsay]

Or, you could buy a barn, buy feed, buy bedding, buy equipment for removing and spreading manure, then spend time paying with manure all like they enjoy foraging more than barns.

Somebody, someone should relay this stuff up to climate activists but problem is they are more followers than thinkers their personal identity is wrapped up in emotional thrills of protest for sake of being noticed. Not really helping the planet by fixing carbon in the soil where it belongs...

[Tom-hpkw]

This is absolutely nuts.
Let's think about this, if you leave a hay bale outside covered in snow. The quality of the hay is greatly diminished, and it spoils.
That is what your grass under the snow will be like also.

How many pounds of meat will that cow gain, when it has to struggle for rotten hay under the snow.?

This is not what profitable cattle owners do.

Sorry but in Saskatchewan and -30 -40 weather 2 foot deep snow would not work for grazing cattle. They would lose far too much weight and get sick.
