Who Let the Cows OUT?

What happens here

As the cattle continue to move through the gate, the presenter monitors the herd to ensure all animals, including calves and potentially hesitant individuals like the cow he calls "Donny," enter the new pasture. He stresses the importance of getting "everybody to come on down" to prevent any animals from being left behind and potentially "pushing on the fence" in an attempt to rejoin the group, which could damage the fencing system. Once satisfied that the entire herd has transitioned, the metal pasture gate would typically be closed and secured, using its latches, to maintain the integrity of the rotational grazing system, although the video ends before this final action is explicitly shown.

Goal: Ensure all cattle are in the new pasture and close the gate.
