Feedin' Some Hungry Cows and running the sawmill...winter on the farm!

What happens here

Before starting the lumber milling, the presenter demonstrates a daily farm task: distributing hay to the cattle. This involves hooking up a hay bale unroller to a red Honda Foreman ATV using a 2-inch hitch ball. A large round hay bale is then loaded onto the unroller, carefully centered using the ATV's reverse action, and secured by kicking it into place and engaging a chain. The ATV is then driven into the pasture to unroll the hay for the waiting cattle.

Goal: Distribute hay to cattle before beginning lumber milling operations.
