What happens here

The farmer uses electric fence components, specifically a fence gate wire with a handle, to create and manage the boundaries of the cattle paddocks. He moves the gate wire to grant the cattle access to a new section of fresh pasture, ensuring controlled grazing and promoting even manure distribution across different areas. He emphasizes that the cattle are accustomed to frequent movement.

Goal: Move cattle to a new section of pasture, enabling even grazing and passive manure deposition for soil enrichment.

Tools and materials

  • Electric Fence Gate Wire with Handle
  • Electric Fence Posts

What they say

Hide

here. Okay. So, I've got to grab my uh fence gate wire here. And I got to pull it all the way to there. I don't know how I'm going to do that. I think I'm going to have to rethink my uh scenario here a bit. I don't have enough wire. My golly. Uh, well, that's a conundrum, isn't it? There's always something, man. Always. How am I going to do this? Let's see if that got it. Oh, that did it right there. Okay, need to spread this out just a little bit. All we're doing is giving the cows this little section right here and they'll graze here for probably 3 hours till it gets hot in the middle of the day and then they'll go back into this paddic over here where the shade is. They'll hang out for a little bit. Then they'll come back over here. This evening, I will open it up to this gigantic spot right here. And then they'll have access to shade tomorrow during the day here and all night and all day here. So, in other words, the guy that's watching my farm only has to open a gate. It's all he has to do. Open this gate. Bam. Good to go. Now, the next day, he's going to open a gate to all the hay bales that I have over there. And you'll get a shot of that from the drone. It's a huge area that we'll be putting the cows in. Shade is super important. He's got to do a little thinking, but not a lot of thinking. Let's get these cows moved in here.
