The Cattle Call...herding up our new cattle on the farm!

What happens here

The farmer fills a red 5-gallon Home Depot bucket with feed from a feed barrel. He then shakes the bucket, creating a rattling sound, and calls out 'woo' and 'come on' to attract the cows. The cows, including calves and the donkey, immediately respond to the sound of the feed bucket and follow the farmer as he walks alongside the fence towards the water troughs.

Goal: The farmer fills a 5-gallon Home Depot bucket with feed and shakes it, using the sound to 'bucket train' the cows to follow him to the water troughs.
