What happens here
The video demonstrates how black Angus cows are rotationally grazed, moving every 12-48 hours depending on pasture size. After cows have grazed a section, the pasture is mowed using a red TYM T1104 tractor with a Woods BB15.5 Batwing mower. This mowing process helps knock seeds out of seedheads and aids grass recovery. The chickens will then enter this section to consume manure pats and fly larvae.
Goal: Prepare the pasture for chickens by grazing cows and initial mowing
