Why Small Farms Farms fail! We've gotta learn to think about this!
What happens here
On a daily or rotational basis, use the ATV or UTV with the hay unroller to distribute hay across specific areas of the pasture. Target areas that could benefit from added nutrients, such as those with sparse or less desirable vegetation (e.g., broom sedge). As the hay is unrolled, cows will eat 85-95% of it. The remaining 5-15% (including seeds) is trampled into the soil along with cow manure, creating a natural fertilizer and seed bank.
Goal: Provide daily feed to cattle while enriching specific pasture areas and promoting soil health.
