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

What happens here

Upon reaching the water troughs, the cows are hesitant to drink from the clean water, with only one calf eventually taking a drink. The farmer notes that they haven't consumed much water from the troughs in the past week, suggesting they aren't thirsty, likely due to the cooler weather. He explains their current setup of watering from a house hose and mentions future plans to drill a well for agricultural water. He also plans to move the feed and feeders to the lower pasture to encourage the cows to move and feed there.

Goal: The cows are led to the water troughs, but they don't drink immediately. The farmer explains that they are currently watering cows from a garden hose and plans to move feeders and establish a well for agricultural water.
