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

What happens here

The adult cows have abandoned the water troughs and moved back up the hill. The farmer then retrieves calf starter feed with a scoop and places it into a small, black feeder specifically designed for calves. He calls the calves, and they come running to eat the calf starter, demonstrating effective 'bucket training'. This ensures the calves receive their specific nutritional needs separate from the adult cows.

Goal: The farmer provides calf starter feed to the calves in a separate, smaller feeder to ensure they get proper nutrition and continue their 'bucket training'.
