What happens here
The farmer drives the ATV to the new location where the electric fence will be set up. He then manually installs a spring gate into the ground, ensuring it is secure. Next, he connects a live wire from the electric fence to the spring gate, preparing to energize the new section. The farmer stresses the importance of regularly checking for signs of new calves before moving heavy equipment like tractors, especially during late summer calving season. He also collects fishing worms for later use from under old boards.
Goal: Set up the perimeter for the new grazing area
