Pasture and Herd Assessment

What happens here

The farmer drives his ATV into a pasture, showcasing the lush, chest-high grass resulting from recent lime and fertilizer applications. He mentions the positive impact on pasture growth, contrasting it with the poor weed-filled condition of the field a year prior. He then observes his black Angus cattle, including recent calves, gathered near a water tank. He notes some minor heat stress signs in one calf (mucus from the mouth), explaining that cows are resilient and these are normal observations in a farm environment.

Goal: Evaluate pasture readiness and cattle health before grazing rotation.
