Feeding the Cows live today

What happens here

The presenter shows his cattle, black Angus cows and calves, consuming the hay that has been unrolled. He explains that this method allows the cows to eat and trample the hay into the ground, which improves the soil quality, especially in areas with sparse land. He mentions that the cows' hindquarters appear 'wet in the butt,' indicating a need for more roughage and fiber in their diet, which the hay provides. He interacts with a particular cow named 'Suzy,' highlighting the gentle nature of his cattle.

Goal: Demonstrate cattle feeding using unrolled hay and explain its benefits for soil.
