What Does It Cost To Have A Whole Cow Butchered?

What happens here

The farmer explains the daily routine of moving the cattle twice a day in the summertime to provide them with a fresh patch of grass. This rotational grazing method prevents the cattle from grazing near their own manure, which in turn reduces the need for deworming or other medications and antibiotics. This practice is highlighted as a key component of maintaining healthy animals and promoting good pasture and land management.

Goal: Learn about the farm's daily practice of moving cattle to fresh pastures twice a day to prevent grazing near manure, eliminating the need for medications and promoting healthy animals.
