New Year's Live on the Farm! Let's go Feed These Animals!
What happens here
The presenter interacts closely with several cows, calling them by their ear tag numbers or names like 'Suzy' and 'Spaz'. He explains that the Black Angus cows are cross-bred with a South Poll bull named 'Donnie.' He clarifies that 'South Poll' means the bull is naturally hornless, a desirable trait for herd safety. He emphasizes his commitment to raising cattle without medication or vaccinations, relying on natural methods unless an animal is severely ill. He highlights the distinction between calf and cow, indicating that calves stay on the farm for beef production.
Goal: Showcase individual cattle and explain the farm's holistic management approach.
