Incredible Cattle De-worming Method You Won't Believe!

What happens here

The farmer drives his utility vehicle to the current pasture where the cattle are grazing. He explains that he moves the cows twice a day in the summertime. Upon arrival, he steps out of the vehicle and opens a section of electric fence to allow the cattle access to the next paddock. The cattle are shown moving calmly and orderly, demonstrating low-stress animal handling. This frequent movement is crucial for stimulating pasture growth and preventing overgrazing, ensuring that the grass never gets cut too short.

Goal: The process of moving a herd of cattle to a new, fresh pasture is demonstrated, highlighting low-stress animal handling techniques to maintain the animals' well-being.

Tools and materials

  • Electric Fence
  • Utility Vehicle (UTV)
