It's time for a change...before I ruin everything!

What happens here

The farmer guides the herd of cattle from their current paddock to a new, fresh section of pasture. He uses polywire electric fence and temporary posts to create new paddocks, which the cattle have learned to respect. This frequent movement ensures they don't overgraze any single area. He also explains the winter strategy of unrolling hay bales in areas needing soil nutrient replenishment, preventing mud holes and evenly distributing organic matter.

Goal: Execute cattle movement and understand year-round pasture management.
