Livestock watering techniques

Greg Judy explaining technique of new pond construction with water tire tanks.

When selecting pond sites be careful not to build ponds that cover up a bunch of grass. Once your precious land is covered with water, your livestock will never graze that area again. Just remember, livestock do not need ponds big enough to ski on, just provide clean abundant high quality water.

Ice storm at Green Pastures Farm with ATV bale unroller

When the ice storms hit, there can be some major disruptions to getting livestock fed. This video details how we manage through these difficult situations with the help of our ATV bale unroller. The best part of this practice is keeping your livestock manure and urine out on your pastures where it will grow you more grass in the future.
