Visited a neighbors farm yesterday to review some regenerative grazing practices. You can see his 100 sheep in the distance past the house. Hereford in the foreground.

He has built like a dozen ponds on this place. Was dead grass everywhere when he bought it 7 years ago and he has brought the place back to life.

I think this is what White man was intended to do. I think a White man farming is at peace with the land and with God and doesn't have to worry about prices at walmart going up. On a farm you can have a cyclical system. Shit gets turned back into compost into soil into plants that animals eat that we eat then repeat cycle.

Also fuck the pine box mcmansions. They are shitty toothpick 2x4 ply wood plastic wrapped shit houses built of synthetic materials. The baseboard is probably just compressed particle board. Don't get yourself into some suicidal half million dollar loan for one of those things. I'd rather live in a pull behind camper that hitches to my truck, or in a pole barn.

Regenerative is a revolution in agriculture. It's proven, it works, but it isn't as widespread as you'd think. I truly think in another 20 or 30 years most Americans will at least know about it and we'll see people getting most of their protein from regenerative ag.

The key to it is the time and attention and labor required to keep moving your animals, plus the connection you need with the land to figure out how and when to move them. Done right, you can reduce input costs to almost zero, and at the same time, grow more and more grass each year, so you can grow your herd size gradually.

One of the key elements is that you can't really do this starting with cows, unless you have a deep bank account and lots of patience. You can do it with sheep or chickens to get started, to bootstrap the process, however. Chickens have great turnaround and profit-to-fixed cost ratios. Joel Salatin will tell you everything you need to know how to make a successful chicken business on your land if you're starting from zero.

That said, cattle are an essential component. You can't just run chickens and sheep and expect great results. At some point you need cows to be part of the equation. They won't make you the most money the quickest, but they will help you compound your successes into growth.

I like cows.

One day I hope I'll have half the blessings you do.

Cows gonna cow.

awesome. but you know what? what would be impressive? you build a book club or some other informal gathering and begin taking over your county government.

so you got cows in addition to goats? damn brother you got yourself a slice of paradise
