This Is the Part of Farming Nobody Sees

What happens here

The farmer begins the process of moving the cattle. He explains the cows are ready and will move from one gated section to another, traversing a road. He expresses nervousness about moving cattle, especially with calves, due to potential dangers like them getting hung up in fences. He needs to do a 'head count' of the calves before and after the move to ensure none are lost, a precaution taken due to a past incident. He also addresses a 'regurgitated wire' (chewed electric fence wire) that needs to be fixed.

Goal: Safely prepare for moving cattle to a new pasture
