Cattle Health Check and Pasture Assessment

What happens here

After unrolling the hay, the farmer checks on the cattle, confirming their health and well-being. He greets individual cows by name (Fred, Cody, Sweety, Suzie, Jordan) and ensures no one is limping or showing signs of illness. He identifies Jordan as a young bull, potentially the future permanent bull for the farm. He also points out a cow with an oddly shaped udder, noting a possible mastitis issue that has persisted. The farmer mentions the presence of donkey (Jenny) that lives with the herd. He inspects the pasture, noting broom sedge as an indicator of poor soil health (low pH, lack of phosphorus/lime), which he plans to improve through grazing and fertilizing strategies.

Goal: Monitor individual cattle health and evaluate pasture for improvement.
