Winter wheat can be planted on the fall. Also, Unroll round bales and feed the cows pn that.

Next time why not leave 1 pack as a display infront of each box for it to be more visual. As soon as it starts to defrost replace with another. Ur meat is well packaged will visually pull in more. I think people buy with their eyes first. * Just my opinion mean no offense

I bought a 05 deere 325 during the equipment shortage due to the plandemic as well. It had only 1400 hours and was the base model single speed, no hiflo, hand and foot controls and paid 19k for it (thats a wicked lot of money to me). You didnt mention what you actually paid and im curious if you dont mind will ya share? Also i share your concern problems and am terrified at something major going wrong. Or even minor like the injectors for this you have to remove the engine 😳.

Wish I could use your cooler idea. My state won't let me do that. Samples are a great idea if you can do in your state. I got my sampling license and generally sell out what I am sampling.

Wondering if you’re allowed to “cook your lunch” on a small Hibachi grill next to your stand ? 😂

Like your 3010. I have a 1963 3010 diesel. Its on my channel if you wanna check it out

Never had any experience with sheep. I hope things work out for you.

If the skid steer sets in a barn gathering dust then it’s gonna nit break down. If it’s out working daily it’s gonna need repairs from time to tine. Don’t feel bad about your purchase cost plus the repair cost , that’s part of ownership.

Cooked samples would get my attention. And photos would be a great idea too.

congrats on the land

Had neighbor when I was a kid had a pull type Minneapolis corn picker that had a hitch to pull the wagon beside the picker and the elevator delivered out the side instead of the back. He pulled it with a UB propane tractor

I bought a John Deere skid steer 250 last year on an auction for 2500 best purchase I made.

be kind to cows they respond,nice dexters

Hey. Over-Built is what I'm all about.. just that much less breaking going on. I really like the enclosed hutch on the one end.. need to get building me one for starters. I just got back into raising rabbit after a 10 year break.. and got a 1/2 acre of nice pasture to let them devour. Sainfoin for reduced to no bloat, orchard grass.. some birds foot trefoil.. some clover.. this gonna be fun... I got 2 week old kits out there in the barn now so I better get building.

I thought you had quit making videos. It is so good to have you back. The Welter Seed and Honey Co. in Onslow, IA has a wide variety of pasture seed and other grasses and grains. You can view their catalog on line.

First...... any tile you see or find were there for a reason ! Drainage ! However since the trees took over.......they plugged all the tiles with roots ! You have a problem ! Next.... why the wash outs ?? Where is the grass cover to prevent it ??? You dont have grass where there are trees ! Remove all trees / brush......then start in small areas closing the ditches and re-seeding ! Make the waterways wide ! Allow the water to spread out ! Or if you dont....you force all the water into a small area....... and again cause cutting/ erosion !

Round bales.... bale smaller bales..... or even bale a bale inside of one bale. In other words..... bale until half......tie and continue. Or even put three bales in one bale.I bale for a local sheep farmer. He was amazed how good it works ..... even for bedding them.....instead of dumping the entire bale at once ! However my baler bales 4x4 bales. It works !

Compaction...... at least here in Iowa freezing and thawing resolve any problems with compaction. It often freezes to depths of 5 feet deep. Many times farmers create a problem that dont exist !

Composting happens much faster if you apply the manure direct ! Night crawlers devore it ! No need to " double " handle it ! Just added costs !

Question ???? Why own a skid loader ??? I grew up using a tractor and loader..... A narrow bucket ( 4ft wide ) . A single cylinder to tilt the bucket. One way cylinders on the main boom. Most farmers dont understand what a good hydraulic system means and is ! A tractor and loader has many uses..... and a much longer reach for moving and removing trees etc. A skid loader.......the trees are nearly in the cab with you. Or they will come visit you soon ! You can use a heavy duty I beam for a blade to push snow and dirt ( on a tractor ) ...also adding weight ( ballast ) . I used a skid loader for two days removing bales from a field. Yah cant go through deep snow with a skid loader ( 3 feet deep ) . If you want to have back issues....buy a skid loader ! The bar that went across my chest nearly broke my sternum ! A skid loader is great for close quarters and on smooth surfaces. Not for in fields ! Unless you want to visit the chiropractor weekly !

I agree with what you are doing Just because Greg Judy does it doesn't make it right. You have 23 he has hundreds. It takes years to achieve what he has done. Your building a heard, and income. Every one is important. Give them the best chance they can have.

Great information video on lambing ❤️🇳🇿

I've been raising sheep for 25years and see nothing wrong with the way your doing it

That 4450 with that loader is my dream tractor, I already have the tractor, I just need the loader

Cattle make money, everything else is a pain in the ass.

I have just started thinking about sheep, mainly because I don't think we can afford to get and raise a bottle calf this year like we did before. I do raise goats right now (commercial meat). But I enjoy lamb and was thinking it might be more affordable (and managable) for me to do sheep. Living on SS, I have to be careful how I spend my money. Not going to be making much of a profit on the goats this year as I need to keep back all doelings for breeding stock and so far I only have 2 bucklings on the ground (only 1 doe left to kid will probably give a single). Have a of thinking to do.

Do u rotate your Fields

European ship do not belong on mast American landscapes. If your farm is in an arid climate avoid this. In that situation the manure will never compost. It will dry out and flake away in the wind. Sheep belong in a temperate environment that is pushing rain forest levels of precipitation. A good way to think about it is tall weeds in your pasture. If you have that issue then sheep might be a good choice. If you have patches of dry ground then stay away from sheep. You will lose your soil.

This fella perty smart, hopefully his channel takes off🤠

Wow nice fat ewes. I love the red colored ones. Any idea what the wool ram breed was that they’re bred to? I wonder if it’s texel or Suffolk. Maybe Dorset but I can’t imagine any other breeds that someone would use on hair ewes. Yes you don’t wanna keep those wool crosses!!! Not a fan of shearing either!! Mine are dairy woolies unfortunately. Wish there was a shedding dairy sheep available

great video, good luck.

Nice video, awesome to see you grow your sheep flock.

how hot is your electric fence, what voltage, it should be at least 7

Great video I miss having sheep I used to have fat tale sheep can’t wait to see the lambs get born 🇳🇿❤️

There a great breed, I've been raising Katahdins for 25years now

We've had a JD 250 for many years now. Ive had the main tandem axle pump out once. Not a fun job.The caps on the underside came loose. A tech told us to never idle at the lowest position as it makes everything rattle more. Seems to always have some kind of leak though. For the small farm operation we have it does great for us. All machines have there issues. I think it's a luck game. We did put run flats on ours and permanently mounted chains on the pneumatic tire for moving snow. Best decision Ive ever made. Oh and a new air ride seat was a big improvement too.

BTW...I want you to know that your videos are far better than your view counts indicates. Keep up the great work... it'll come.

The only pieces of equipment that I've bought new were a hay trailer and a squeeze chute. Every other piece of equipment was bought used, most of it needed fixed in one way or another, and a few things I wish I'd never bought.

I don't know buddy. Im not a John Deere man im more of a Kubota man. If it was me i would run the hell out of it and see what happens. If it dont work out dump it. Hey wish you luck.

Very informative! Thanks!

Looks like you need a bigger hammer lol

Seeding...... why not buy yourself a IH endgate seeder ? They cost around 200 dollars. and the wagon another two hundred dollars. I see them all the time at sales. Throw the seed in and drive ! Then... cultipack it or double harrow it. Finished ! Another option... talk to a local coop....ask them to calibrate the spreader down to 10 wide spreads ? This way the grass "seed" flies far enough to cover the area ( 10 foot ) Might have to buy / add some fertilizer as a filler but its a good idea to fertilize new grass seeding anyway ! The coop mix the seed in with the fertilizer and dump it in the spreader. I use this method all the time.. Its quick using a truck !

Speaking of soil management, what did you decide to do about the erosion in the woods on the back of your place.

Congratulations on the new to you John Deere 3010

We raised chickens on my grandparent’s farm as well. My grandma’s pride and joy was a rose garden. We cleaned out the laying house once a year. We took that manure around her garden and she had some of the greatest looking roses I saw or have yet see.

In Nebraska, most of the Natural Resource Districts have no till drills that can be rented. Check them out. Without drilling, plan to double or triple your seed cost for each pass. That mulch on top of the ground is your best friend in getting seed germinated. Consider broadcast seeding now, and then feeding CRP or grass strip hay on the ground spun out just as thin as you can to work the seed in and supplement the cover.

Lol My dad used to joke about the only thing John Deere wouldn’t stand behind is a manure spreader.

Not a farmer anymore but did work in my very younger days on my grandparents farm. We converted a couple 10 acre fields into pasture. First we plowed, disced and planted a mix of fescue, blue grass and yes clover. Tall fescue made up about 80% of the mix with 15% grass and 5% red clover. Cultipaked it in and prayed for some rain. We had a pretty good stand the first year , made a little hay but the 2nd year we turned out our first 10 head of cows out in one and raised hay on the other. 3 rd it was on and popping . Good luck.

Doing a lot of the same things on our place. Have quite a bit in EQUIP programs. I looked at no till drills as well but I'm couldn't find anything reasonable. Ended up buying a Brillion seeder. For the no till, I've just been using my regular JD grain drill and it works pretty good. Ive got about 100 acres of oats i planted over my sudan hay and it is doing really good.

Thanks for the video. I’m doing the same thing too. I started in fall 2021 on corn ground. I’ve been watching a lot of RUclips videos, and Greg Judy is my to go person on most videos. Also, Russ Wilson is really good too. I wouldn’t disc or till anything. It is one of the worse things you can do. I’ve been reading books on Dale Strickler and read of all Greg Judy books. The first year I planted 7 of 20 acres of hairy vetch and cereal rye with an old Farmall steel wheel drill. The seed was just sitting on the ground since it is regular grill. It worked great for cereal rye but ok with hairy vetch. If I gone back again, I would have frost seed clovers February/March 2022. I was planning to plant the rest with cover crops in the spring along with perennials pasture seed too. By end of April of 2022, I needed neck surgery so it got delayed until fall 2022. Then, fall 2022 I no tilled my rest of my 13 of 20 acres future pasture with crimson clover, triticale, hairy vetch, red clover, buckwheat, oats, and perennials pastures seeds. It grew some in the fall because we had lack of rain. Then, in the spring 2023 the pasture grew some more from the snow melt besides the oats and buckwheat I was hoping the pasture would have taken off but a drought stuck so the pasture was very short until we got rains in August and September. The 7 acres that was cereal rye and hairy vetch was very thick so I knocked it down in August 2022 with the no till drill and planted oats, buckwheat , red clover, winter peas, crimson clover. The cereal rye and hairy vetch took over since it reseeded itself. By December 2022, the cereal and hairy vetch was a foot tall. We didn’t have much snow until Christmas week. Then, the January and February the snow melted and the deer came in and mowed it off. By spring came, the 7 acres looked like a golf course green because it was so short. The cereal rye and hairy vetch exploded when it warmed up in the spring 2023. I was hoping to have my fence done but with the drought it was hard to put fence in the ground. It felt like I was pounding post in concrete. Then, I got part of the fence done so I put my animals in there by fall 2023 and fed hay in there all winter. I have so much hay in about 1-2 of the 7 acres. It probably won’t grow much pasture but in the following years it will be unbelievable. The 5 of the 7 acres the cereal rye was dry but the red clover was awesome. The hairy vetch reseeded itself again when we got the rains in August so it was growing. By December 2023, the cereal rye is growing from more rains in December and warmer than usual weather. Now fast forward until now, the cereal rye, clovers, and hairy vetch is coming back. I’m planning to plant 4-5 acres of native perennials pasture in the January/February of 2025. I’m going to plant a summer cover crop this summer and graze it off hard before planting the native perennials. I follow Greg Judy method of MOB grazing. I’m pretty new at this but I’ve learned a lot too. I started in summer 2020 with 2-3 acres MOB grazing in my yard.
