What happens here

The presenter drives the ATV with the hay unroller, carrying a hay bale, to the designated pasture area. Upon arriving, he demonstrates how to carefully cut and remove all the strings (typically made of plastic or twine) from the hay bale before unrolling it. This is crucial to prevent the cows from ingesting the strings, which can be harmful to their digestive system. He emphasizes that the hay, even though stored outdoors and not 'super-duper special', acts as a seed bank for the soil, reducing the need for purchased grass seed.

Goal: Distribute hay and ensure no harmful strings are left for cattle consumption.
