Pasture Fence Check and Natural De-Worming Station
At 5:30 in
They just Ran Wild! I was so nervous about this!
What happens here
The farmer drives his Honda Foreman 500 ATV, equipped with Kolpin Rhino Grips holding a long-handled rake and a cell phone holder, to begin inspecting the new fence line. He discusses the regenerative farming approach, aiming to restore the land without chemicals. He points out a line of hay bales, explaining that they are used for land restoration by rolling them out to the cows. He then shows a natural de-worming station, which is an area with charcoal and ash from sawmill slabs. He explains that cows will consume this as a natural de-wormer, similar to activated charcoal for humans, to detoxify. He notes that this natural method is used to avoid chemical de-wormers.
Goal: Inspect fence lines and understand the natural de-worming method.
