Frozen sunset feeding the cows! Winter Storms Coming!
What happens here
Begin by assessing the current conditions and identifying the need for winter feeding. The farmer mentions the arrival of a winter storm and that cattle typically consume two hay bales per day. Ensure your equipment, such as an ATV or side-by-side and a hay bale unroller, is in working order and accessible.
Goal: Confirm necessity of feeding and prepare equipment
Tools and materials
- ATV — Towing the hay bale unroller
- Gloves — Protecting hands from cold and rough hay
- Hay Bale Unroller — Attaching to the ATV to unroll hay bales
- Hay Bales — Feed for the cattle
