Regenerative Ranching on a Small Scale
What happens here
The farmer identifies an area where cattle have been rubbing against a fence line near some pine trees, causing it to bend out of shape. To solve this, he will install additional step-in posts in the ground and tie off the existing fence wire to these new posts. This creates a more robust barrier that will discourage cattle from rubbing and damaging the fence, protecting both the animals and the fence integrity. He emphasizes that the goal is to make the cattle respect the electric wire, not to cause them harm, and that a properly functioning electric fence will deter them effectively.
Goal: Repair and reinforce sections of the fence damaged by cattle rubbing.
