Leaving the Farm Behind? Things Just Got SUPER STRESSFULL!!
What happens here
The farmer explains the setup for his cattle. He mentions 'Jumper', a steer known for jumping fences, necessitating an additional hot wire about 2.5-3 feet off the ground to deter him. He explains the rationale for not butchering grass-fed beef in winter (due to hay feeding affecting flavor, preferring spring flush grass). This sets the context for the controlled grazing system. He then starts a red Honda Foreman ATV equipped with a hay unroller and drives it through a gate, preparing to create a path for the cows.
Goal: Understand and prepare the cattle's grazing area and feed distribution system.
