What happens here
Drive the ATV with the loaded hay unroller to the chosen pasture area. This method is considered 'low impact' on the land and soil. Carefully unroll the hay bale across the pasture, allowing a thin, even layer of hay to spread out. The cows will follow the ATV, grazing on the fresh hay as it's distributed. This distributes the hay, along with any seeds it contains, and also encourages even distribution of manure across the pasture, avoiding concentrated areas of waste.
Goal: Feed cattle efficiently while simultaneously enriching the soil.
