What happens here

The hosts elaborate on their intensive grazing program and the challenges of providing water in areas without permanent water infrastructure. They use an ABI water trailer, pulled by a TYM T1104 tractor, to transport 1000 gallons of water. Additionally, they utilize 300-gallon water storage tanks (interpreted as large, mobile planters or boxes for water) which are manually moved into the new grazing areas. This mobile water system is crucial for enabling flexible pasture rotation.

Goal: Learn how water is transported and provided to the temporary grazing plots using a large water trailer and smaller, movable water troughs due to the lack of fixed water sources in the pasture area.

you just what you can kiss all right guys this is mrs stoney ridge the crazy chicken lady today and what we're doing today is we're going to be moving our cows from a section of pasture they've been on for 24 hours we're starting our intensive grazing program here on the farm and it is intense it learning this is intense so we have no permanent water solution over here on this side of the farm we do on the other side of the farm we have a well on the other side of the farm there's approximately 90 acres over here that we don't have a water solution for so we're using the abi water trailer right here we just back to the creek about every four days and we fill that up with a thousand gallons of water and we have 300 gallons of water storage with tanks you'll see us dragging those tanks here in just a minute that's the abi water trailer this is the tymt 1104 it's the big dog and that's what helps me pull the water trailer way up the hill from the creek now let's show you what the cows are doing you nodding having fun yes i am we're getting ready to have some fun so let me show you what the cows are doing here they're still grazing this plot but you can see a distinct line you'll really be able to see it from the drone footage i'm trying not to back into this wiring getting a zap in the butt but green not so green this was eaten down yesterday the last 24 hours this is the next 24 hours and we're gonna run a polyelectric line here and it's poly braid with step in post their strain right step in posts are the best you can get you can get them at farm fence solutions there are fence people you get it right across here we'll post a link down the video description for you that's what we got to do so first we got to drag our water tanks up get the water tanks full we know that the cows will drink 300 gallons of water over a 24 hour period so once they drink the tanks dry which is typically around four o'clock we'll pull them up to the next paddock also gonna show you that trick i got some new tricks up my sleeve
