I'm with you 💯 with no commercial fertilizers, but what about treating for flies. That's one problem that I want to solve as quick as possible.

[hailus]

You can use chickens to spread the manure while at the same time the chickens eat the fly larvae. Low number of flies means less flies bite your cows. The protein from fly larvae will get used to make eggs and the chickens grow. Adding chickens is beneficial as an additional income. I also understand that it means additional work. You know your situation better than me, I am just sharing my thoughts.

I'm learning about regenerative farming so I stumbled on this video. I'm a vegetable farmer, and vegan, but this is how cows should be raised! Good luck getting your message out and I hope cattle farmers adopt your practices!

I'm currently working to develop our 5 acres into small, self sustaining regenerative eco-farm. This is some of the most valuable knowledge around right now. Eliminate food shortages for your family and community. Keep it up brother! Love your channel!

There's no "one" way to do most things. It's all about making it work for your conditions.

Thanks for Spreading the Word about Natural Farming! Absolutely True you don't need to buy thousands of Dollars of Herbicides, Pesticides and Fertilizer if you manage your Property Properly! Videos like these are So important for the Planet and the Farmers!! Absolutely True "You don't need a Pill to fix Nature" cuz Nature is Not Broken!!

That’s the way to raise beef!!! And most other animals we eat as well, happy animals, great meat. Stay awesome!

I used to put my grandkids out in the pasture with a golf club and told them to destroy as many cow piles as they wanted. Sound foolish but cows will not eat the lush grass in a cow pile, but if you scatter that pile it will fertilize more area and the kidos will have a few stories to share about crazy PawPaw in the process!!

We’ve started doing the same on our new homestead. Rolling out $50 hay bales and moving sheep and goats. Very enjoyable and can’t wait to see the final product.

Josh: You are doing great sharing the message of ecosystem restoration by working with nature. The cows looked very happy and healthy. I loved your style of presentation and your video. We need more farmers and ranchers to copy your ideas and model. Please keep up the wonderful job that you have been doing. Subscribed and liked. :)

This has to be the future. And the grass fed finished meat is premium.

[dougdavis]

Looks beautiful Josh, you have a lot to be proud of! A good example of hard work and education paying off! Good of you to share.

[MsGroovalicious]

Oo-wee! You all are my heroes! Keep it up!!! We need your graciousness. God bless you and your work.

[HeiferUSA]

Great information! Thanks for sharing. Always exciting to learn from other farmers and farms!

[michaelanthonyoutdoors]

Good info. Bought a 25 acre farm last year. Got 9-10 acres of pasture. Researching and planning now. Thanks for the insight

[smithswelding]

If you cannot give your pasture enough rest might need to look at cutting down on cow numbers.
You are right, water is key but 3/4” poly pipe is relatively cheap and simple to unroll on top of the ground for spring, summer, and fall grazing. I wish I would have discovered poly pipe and quick couplers years ago.

Regenerative ranching tends to be a bit disconnected from regenerative farming. One thing I would recommend is learning how to keyline plow your pasture (subsoil ripping), and inject your biochar into those rips directly (fertilizer tea/compost can be used on biochar).
Mob grazing with leader follower model (first cows, then chickens as suggested by Richard Perkins; but for a fuller list you can check Mark Shepard's book) will then help that topsoil grow even more.

We start 20 James back in Namibia in the desert. First time I see the mowing of the grass, thanks for that won.

[williamtyson]

Great video Josh.I have put a7 foot pasture punch to work on my farm.It has made a big difference in my grass production.Aeration will help, it’s like 200lbs of fertilizer per acre.Have a great day.

I've been around awhile and the transformation since the beginning is amazing.
