Our last grazing pass on our warm season Eastern Gama Grass field. Isaac looks like the Pied Piper leading the cow mob into their lush grass field. We had a mile long dusty cattle drive to get the mob to their new farm.

Greg gets lit up by 8000-volt charger on camera while filming!
Greg gets lit up by 8000-volt charger on camera while filming! Sometimes even the most experienced folks can get zapped when they don't pay attention to the electric fence. I got a very good shock, and it was all recorded for everyone to see! I forgot about my topic of tree swallow houses very quickly.

Here is a cheap way to store big round bales to prevent them from rotting.
Here is a cheap way to store big round bales to prevent them from rotting. Never ever place bales directly on the ground for storage. You will be sick when you see how much of the bale has rotted this winter when you feed it. We store every bale on 6-8" diameter oak logs that are 4 feet long. Why lose 20 to 30% of each bale to rot when you could be preserving it by simply stacking them on posts.

Goats, sheep and guardian dogs are relocated to new farm with lots of brush.
Goats, sheep and guardian dogs are relocated to new farm with lots of brush. The new farm has tons of brush and brambles that need sheep on it. We are excited to see what they can do to control the rough areas of this farm. By having our sheep and goats broke to two hot wires of polybraid it makes it easy to relocate them onto areas we need them on. The guardian dogs were happy with their new home.

Super docile cows and heifers that would make someone a great starter grass genetic herd. Also, one 4-year-old South Poll bull for sale that would make up a whole starter grass genetic cattle package!

Greg gets an interview with the founder of his South Poll breed, Teddy Gentry.
Greg gets an interview with the founder of his South Poll breed, Teddy Gentry. Teddy is very passionate about why he developed the South Poll breed. He wanted farmers to have a breed that made their sole living from 100% forage, no grain. Teddy got it done when he developed the South Poll breed. We are very thankful for Teddys tireless work and effort of developing the ultimate grass genetic breed!

Solid stud 4-year-old South Poll bull in Kansas, bred at Green Pastures Farm.
Solid stud 4-year-old South Poll bull in Kansas, bred at Green Pastures Farm. Our friend in Kansas is selling his cow herd and switching to grazing steers. He will not be needing a bull and is offering him for sale. This bull came from our herd and is a great sire for downsizing your future cow herd if you want 1000-to-1100-pound cows.

High brix forage rocks our cow mob with a super-rich mid afternoon sugar treat.
High brix forage rocks our cow mob with a super-rich mid afternoon sugar treat. We are leaving a tremendous amount of residue with each grazing pass this fall. This allows our forage plants to grow back faster for our precious winter stockpiled feed. This massive amount of forage we have would not be possible without our grazing management this droughty summer. Folks you need to leave more forage than you take with each grazing pass. It pays huge dividends when the rain comes.

What a beautiful evening to be in amongst our cows, sheep, goats and guardian dogs.
What a beautiful evening to be in amongst our cows, sheep, goats and guardian dogs. It's hard to beat an evening in lush tall green grass being consumed by our sheep, goats and cows. The guardian dogs have become accustomed to our cow mob and now ignore them. If there is something more relaxing than watching happy healthy animals eat lush green forage, I don't know what it would be!

1-3 pm is your sweetest grass of the day with the highest sugar content.
1-3 pm is your sweetest grass of the day with the highest sugar content. If you only move your cows once per day, do it at 1 pm. The cows will gain the highest amount of weight with the high brix content forage that is exposed to them in the afternoon full sunlight.

The bull mob are given the brush forest to graze for 1 day.
The bull mob are given the brush forest to graze for 1 day. We were surprised by how much forage was growing in the area that we had excluded from grazing. Luckily, we had put in a gate when we built our hi-tensile fence. It was easy to allow them access by simply opening the gate and enticing them into the area by placing their mineral feeder in the gate opening.

Check out our two new additions to our farm!
Check out our two new additions to our farm! Our new guardian dog is a breed called Armenian Gampr. One of the most important characteristics of the gampr is their independent mind. If they decide you need guarding, they will protect you. Our other addition is our Kiko/Spanish cross goats that we purchased from Integrity Ranch in south Missouri.
Check out Integrity Ranch's YouTube channel if you're interested in getting parasite resistant goats that are hot wire broke and never wormed.

Jan and Greg discuss their grazing school event while watching the bulls get fat on brush. What a beautiful morning to be out with the bull mob and Jan while enjoying the cooler weather. These strips of forage that we are allocating to the bull mob each day have tremendous plant diversity in them.

Haji Shareef, retired navy helicopter pilot, now devoted to helping war veterans with PTSD. Haji trains dogs and gives them to war veterans that are struggling with PTSD. Haji could certainly use some help to cover the costs of raising and training these dogs. It is an amazing function that these dogs provide for folks that have PTSD. They literally save war veterans lives and give them back some normalcy of life when they return home.

Bull mob is hammering the ram sheep pasture back into shape.
Bull mob is hammering the ram sheep pasture back into shape. With the bull mob, we have a great tool to impact rank overgrown forage that has not been grazed this year. They are heavier animals that are much less selective when exposed to rank forage. They are pounding the rank forage which will allow it to come back much more vegetative for fall stockpile that will be grazed this winter.

Gotta mow the yard again, well let's let the cows do it! It's nice to let our 4-legged animals mow our grass and fertilize it at the same time. Our cow mob is a powerful land reclamation tool and we like using them to perform such activities around our various farms.

Leaving residual in a drought allowed our old cocklebur field to spring back to life!
Leaving residual in a drought allowed our old cocklebur field to spring back to life! With the recent rain, our previously brown field turned into a green salad bar. Leaving 6-8" of forage residual when we last grazed this paddock in the drought allowed it to spring back to life when it received moisture.
