Facilitate Passive Manure Incorporation through Rest

What happens here

After cattle graze a section, the farmer demonstrates detaching the electric fence to expand their access to a larger area, including shaded woodlands. This rotational method, which includes moving the cattle every 12-24 hours under normal circumstances, allows the previously grazed areas to rest. During this rest period, the deposited manure naturally breaks down and is incorporated into the soil, enhancing fertility and microbial activity.

Goal: Allow grazed paddocks to rest and enable natural decomposition and incorporation of manure into the soil.
