What happens here
The creator completes unrolling the last hay bale and is greeted by his herd of black Angus cows, including a donkey named Tammy. He points out that the hay is not wasted, as cows will trample it into the ground, contributing to biomass and improving soil health as part of regenerative farming. He pets some of the friendly cows and looks for 'Suzy', a particularly friendly cow. He explains that his cows respect the temporary polybraid electric fence, even when not powered, as a psychological barrier. He mentions that cows are usually not fed directly on broom straw as it's not ideal for them, but they will eat it if other options are scarce.
Goal: Feed the cattle and demonstrate the benefits of regenerative farming practices.
