YUCK!! Farm Duties...get stinky, fence planning, clearing fields for fencing!

What happens here

Josh then uses a tractor to move a large hay bale to feed the goats in their enclosure. After dropping the hay, he demonstrates how to quickly detach the pallet forks from the tractor's loader and reattach the bucket using a quick-attach mechanism. He then uses the bucket to scoop up old apple pomace from the large bins, which will be distributed as feed for deer. He mentions that it is legal to bait deer in North Carolina.

Goal: Using a tractor, Josh feeds hay to the goats, demonstrates loader attachment changes, and then distributes apple pomace for deer bait.
