Feeding the cows in this mess!

What happens here

The farmer explains the concept of 'cow trails' which occur when cattle are located more than 800 feet from a water source, causing them to mob-drink. He plans to implement rotational grazing to encourage individual drinking and distribute manure more evenly across the pasture. He gets on his red Honda Foreman 500 ATV, which is equipped with power steering assist, and heads to the hay bale area.

Goal: Explain the importance of pasture management and preparing for hay distribution.
