Who Let the Cows OUT?

What happens here

Following the opening of the gate, the cattle begin to move into the newly accessible common grazing area. The presenter points out "Butthead," the matriarch cow, who is typically the first to lead the herd, and uses verbal encouragement like "Come up!" and "Come on, kiddos!" to guide them. Several black cattle and calves are seen entering the lush, grassy pasture, immediately starting to graze on available vegetation, including poplar leaves from trees within the area. The presenter reiterates the benefit of this "free forage" that eliminates the need for him to mow.

Goal: Encourage and manage the herd's entry into the new grazing section.
