Setting Up Temporary Cross Fencing for Rotational Grazing

What happens here

The presenter explains the setup for moving the cattle. The polybraid line is run down the yard using step-in posts. One side of the fence, leading towards the pasture, will be energized, while the side bordering the woods will not. This strategy relies on the cows' learned respect for the electric fence, guiding them towards the desired grazing area. The Speedrite reel is attached to a fixed metal post on the cold (non-energized) side, and the presenter will walk the line, unwinding the polybraid wire. This temporary fence directs the cattle's movement without requiring them to be physically herded through the woods. He demonstrates walking the line and unwinding the polybraid.

Goal: The presenter describes the strategic placement of temporary electric fence lines to guide cattle through a specific path, utilizing energized and non-energized sections to direct their movement.
