Implement Daily Mob Grazing Rotation

okay so we're building genetics here on the Stoney Ridge Farm more than anything and we're building soil so instead of cutting hay off the land and a lot of people have a hard time understanding this on a 150 acre piece of property with about 85 Acres of cleared total cleared and fenced pasture if we had to fertilize and lime this land and cut our own hay it's going to cost us upwards of thirty thousand dollars a year to feed these animals I can buy the hay for under ten thousand dollars per year and put it on the land so we've got really poor soil here and if you're buying a piece of property there's hope if you're buying a piece of property that has really poor soil we're rolling out hay bales on the land all winter long now in the summertime mob grazing intensive mob grazing so we're putting a lot of pressure on the grass and the way we do this is by moving them every 12 hours to a small Paddock this is about an acre right here 35 cows one acre or even three quarters of an acre is enough we want them to eat one-third trample one-third and leave one third and these guys do a full 60-day rotation they know they're moving check them out they do a full 60-day rotation on the farm and it's just super easy super simple once you get your setup and let me show you how it's all set up so the girls are going to get loud in a second because they know they're moving but this is called poly braid it is a poly wire polyethylene with a metal wire inside of it probably about eight metal wires inside of it and this is called a strain right pigtail step in post right here that's what we base the entire Farm off of so if you had a piece of barbed wire you wouldn't be able to just tie it in a knot like that so this is a splice pretty simple this conducts electricity [Music] throughout the farm this is Cody the firstborn on the end on the farm he's a spoiled brat we're going to go over here we're going to Open this gate so the way this works and we'll point it out to you there's a water out there in the middle of the pasture that waterer has a wagon wheel looks like a wagon wheel so that would be the center of the wagon wheel and strings go off of that Center all over this is a five acre pasture it's divided into six different paddocks as we move the cows through they were on this grass eight days ago and you cannot tell that they were there at all in fact this cow's still eating let's tell you about what nobody told me the integral part of your farm the most important part…
