Clearing Land, Fence lines and Brush with Skid Steer | Steep Grade!

What happens here

The farmer outlines the path to be cleared, starting from an existing fence post that serves as a corner post and brace. The goal is to clear a pathway straight through the woods to another field on the other side. He notes that the existing path is currently rough but is already a natural route used by the cattle. The clearing is necessary to create a new section of pasture. This section of the farm has two distinct areas: open pasture and a section of planted pine trees which were established seven years prior after timber cutting and land clearing. The area designated for the path is rocky, making it unsuitable for grazing but ideal for a cattle passage.

Goal: Identify the wooded section where a new path needs to be cleared, extending from an existing fence to another pasture, and explain its role in a 90-paddock rotational grazing system.

What they say

are in a ear late late winter. Getting ready to cross over into spring. We don't have any green grass right now. We just don't have it. The cows are over on the other side of the farm eating hay. That's what they do. You want to see more of the cows? I'll be links at the end of this video. What we've got to do here is come off the corner of this fence right here. So, this is a corner post. That's a brace right here and all this fencing came from Farm Fence Solutions. Good friends of mine. farmfencesolutions.com. You can go off of this post and what we've got to do is clear a pathway through the woods right through here and you see it's kind of rough, but we've got a natural path that the cows have been using and we're going to go all the way straight down through the woods and you see there's another field over there. So, we're going to go down through the woods and back up the other side. Let me just walk you down through here. See how rough it is? Pretty darn rough, right? But let's get steer. We'll make quick work of this. We'll get in here with the tooth bucket and we'll smooth all this out and we'll cut our path all the way down through here. So, let me show you which way the path is going to go. So, this will be a temporary fence just like we use out in the pastures with a polywire. Poly electric wire. We're running an electric fence. Put a little step-in fence post here. Step-in fence post there. Step-in down there. Guys, you can see it's pretty opened up in here. The fence doesn't have to be perfectly straight. It just has to get through here. All right? This is our creek down here and this is the only section of land on the farm that the cows have access to the
