What happens here

The tour progresses to the cattle pasture. The host highlights areas of healthy pasture and areas where the soil is exposed, which they aim to improve through rotational grazing. He explains their continuous-flow watering system, which keeps water moving from a pond to several tanks, preventing freezing even in cold temperatures. This system is crucial for their mob grazing strategy, which helps build soil fertility by having cattle trample hay and manure into the ground.

Goal: The host drives through the cattle pastures, explaining their intensive grazing strategy to build soil and showcasing a unique, continuous-flow watering system for livestock.

for a farm this size are you lost already do you have your bearings the house is directly that way we're gonna get a drone shot of flying over this upper field so this area was cleared when we bought the land so there was about a two acre field right here and about a five acre field up on the top and you'll get the drone footage we're gonna fly right from the top and we're gonna cruise right over the house go right over the garden and the honeybees where we were and to the other side of the farm where the cows are right now and that's where we're gonna drive [Music] we're down here at the other side of the farm so we've crossed the road the house is right up there our wooden fence is right here built that wooden fence in a video uh last year i guess over about a three or four part series and we are at the second hay yard the hay yard down here for this pasture now the cows are gonna start mooing man they get excited when i come running because it's supper time it's getting close to supper time for the cows we've got ice storm coming in so what i gotta do is put out extra bales today so we'll bring that little tym 254 tractor down here we'll unroll a bale for today with the atv and we'll take bales and we'll set them out along this ridge line right here where there isn't a lot of topsoil what we want to do is let those cows trample in whatever they can trample in to help build the soil right here on this hillside you'll see it in the drone footage you'll see nice pasture and pasture with dirt exposed so as i'm flying over you can kind of get a look right now and the cows are probably going to be eating in that footage i think you'll really appreciate it in about a year you'll see how this improves it's going to really really improve now for the cows we have a watering system that's a little bit different than most people so above us is a pond right up there there's a pond you can see it in the drone footage also as we fly over down this fence line i have piping ran it's three quarter inch poly pipe and i have two water tanks right here this is not our permanent water setup but it is our water setup for now to get by until i can get an agricultural well drilled over here and we start pumping water to frost free water tanks okay so our frost free water feeders or waterers will be in place hopefully by next fall we can start intensively grazing in other words we're going to be grazing mob grazing our property here via those water tanks in other words those…
