What happens here
Upon arrival at the cattle waterer, manually toss the rocks from the UTV bed into the muddy area surrounding the water trough. Continue adding rocks until the muddy ground is covered, creating a stable, well-drained surface. This prevents mud accumulation, which can harbor disease and attract flies, thus improving the health and welfare of the cattle. After all rocks are distributed, use the UTV's hydraulic dump bed to quickly empty any remaining debris, small rocks, or dirt.
Goal: Fill the muddy area around the cattle waterer with rocks to prevent mud accumulation and disease.
