COW'S SHOCKING EXPERIENCE!

What happens here

Begin by understanding the project's scope: establishing fencing for a rotational grazing program. The presenter introduces two types of posts: a pigtail type and a step-in type, both used for temporary fencing, and highlights the use of 'Tornado Wire' (specifically Titan 13-48-12, good for sheep, cattle, goats, horses) for permanent fencing. He also briefly discusses the current shortage of wooden posts, making steel posts a more practical, long-lasting alternative. The core concept of training cows to 'hot wire' for controlled grazing is also introduced.

Goal: Understand the types of fencing and the purpose of rotational grazing.
