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
