Here’s Guinness, he’s our first bull and is a registered shorthorn. We’ve had him for 2 seasons and have had flawless calving ease. Hopefully our registered heifers will throw some awesome calves this spring from him. We sold him to Emily’s parents so we get to visit him every now and then. We sold him because we can’t have him breeding his daughters. He’s halter broken and extremely friendly.
The benefits of regenerative agriculture are endless. Gaining more cow days on the land is a huge one, it’s like gaining more land without having to buy more land. As you can see in this video the girls are looking great and the cattle are having an impact.
Here’s the cattle on their second pass through this pasture, around June 6th they were here last. Almost 2 months rest between grazing. Pretty good for a Canadian climate.
It’s -19°C and I film myself rolling out a bedding bale for the cows to pick through. Tomorrow I’ll give them a better bale before I go ice fishing.
The reason I bring up the iPhone is that I remember back when I used to fish a lot is that the iPods we used for taking pictures of our catch would die before we could even get the picture. Even if we kept them warm in our shirt pocket under our jackets. These batteries are sure a lot more cold resistant than they used to be.
In this video Dallas walks amongst the cows and talks about future plans for the place. We also get to pat Marion, another one of our registered shorthorn heifers. I talk about a swale we want to install to increase water retention on the property, placement of my future off grid home, and our animal management practices. I’m also quite impressed with the battery in the new iPhone 13 Pro Max which is my camera for all my recent videos.
