Introduction to the Farm and Day's Task

hey there folks this is josh stoney ridge farmer welcome back to another gorgeous day here on the stoney ridge farm all around us is 150 acre cattle farm and it's a first generation farm what we're doing today on the farm is we're bringing in so my stepdad and i kind of partner up a little bit on the farm we'll be pulling all the way over the other side of the farm and letting them into a gate over there that gate is where the cows are today okay so the cows will be moved along with the bull every single day here on the farm so we're just kind of hanging tight and waiting for them to come i hope you guys enjoy this all right folks thanks so much for joining me here on the stoney ridge so if you don't know about the farm what we do here and you'll see this wire there's a poly wire a polyethylene electric fence wire that separates the entire pasture so we have the cows grazing about a one acre paddock every single day here on the farm we move the cows every day it's called regenerative farming and we're helping to build the soil up here on the stoney ridge farm what that does moving these cows from one paddock to the next paddock and a paddock is simply a pasture what that does is it makes the cows eat all of the grass not just the sweet and the tender and leaving the weeds so they will graze the entire pasture and these are multi-species pasture we raise our cows on multiple types of grass what that does is it builds a healthier animal and it builds a better immune system we can't have our cows on a mono crop or a mono culture you think about it this way if you like lasagna or you
