Leaving the Farm Behind? Things Just Got SUPER STRESSFULL!!

What happens here

The farmer drives the ATV, pulling the hay unroller, through a gate and into a new paddock. He then dismounts and physically closes the gate, securing it with a chain. The ATV is left running to warm up while he sets up a temporary electric fence across the path using orange cones and a white electric fence wire. This wire forms a lane to guide the cows to the next pasture. He specifically states his goal is to make the cows 'impatient' to move, as this makes them easier to drive through the lane.

Goal: Create a clear, controlled path for cattle to move to the next pasture and prepare the electric fence.
