THE COWS ARE OUT! This Almost went horribly wrong!

What happens here

The farmer, Josh Stoney Ridge, introduces his neighbor Tony and explains the challenging task ahead: moving seven cows from their current overgrazed upper field to a new pasture with stockpile winter forage. He expresses nervousness due to the distance and the potential for agitation, especially with a predicted snowstorm and limited hay supply. The plan is to use a Kubota utility vehicle and rely on the cows' bucket-training to follow the vehicle, aiming for a low-pressure transfer.

Goal: Josh introduces the task of moving cattle, highlights the reasons (overgrazing, winter forage, snow concerns), and outlines the strategy to use a Kubota and bucket-trained cows for a low-stress transfer.

Tools and materials

  • Kubota Utility Vehicle
  • Hay bales (implied)
  • Winter forage (stockpile)

hey there folks this is Josh Stoney Ridge farmer this is my neighbor Tony right here what we're going to be doing today is something that I'm very nervous about so we're going to be moving the cows from way up here outside the fence all the way down you guys can tell me if this is a mistake or not we're going to move them from way up here all the way down into this pasture where we have some stockpile winter forage so it is February first week of February here and the cows are nibbling down the forage pretty substantially up here in the upper field a little bit more than I thought they would so we want to give them some good winter for gonna put them over on the other side just in case I have three bales of hay left I've got I think it's seven cows now since we lost one three bales of hay left and I'm worried about snow so if we get one more snowstorm I want to have enough hay to get the cows through the winter this will get the cows through the winter however it's a bit risky so Tony's gonna be my driver of the Kubota he's going to go out in front of me we've been trying to bucket train quote unquote bucket train the cows so that they follow the bucket and they follow the Kubota should be a breeze right it's been a buck a cakewalk it's gonna be okay wall that's it we'll be throwing the drone up in the area drone footage just so you guys know we're doing this in a low-pressure environment in other words we're not trying to push the cows we're not trying to go ahead make all that noise and you know cows are very responsive to hissing noises - clapping noises and they can tell when you're agitated and they'll get agitated so this could be a dangerous thing the cows could get out but I think we're going to be fine they seem hungry and they seem eager to come and follow us try to call them up get busy [Music] it's gonna reach far
