Yeah, so you're like- egret on the rhino's nose. I mean, look at any herd, wildebeest in nature, and you'll see these flocks of birds following, and they're the sanitizers with the herbivores. So instead of shooting the cows up with parasiticides and grubicides and things like that, we just collect $100,000 worth of eggs as a byproduct of the pasture sanitation program and the fertility program.

Well, I mean, there are dung beetles, but the sanitation is that the manure is what carries the cattle parasites. That's where the parasites live and propagate to reinfect the cows when they come back through. So when the cows scatter them, the sun and now not having enough of a pie to procreate in, to live in, then they don't live for another day.

Okay, yeah. So we move the... So... We move the cows every day around 4 o'clock. We like the afternoon move best for a number of reasons. But it's electric fence, one strand of electric fence. Cows are very smart. They don't want to get shocked. And so we just go out and open a cross fence. So imagine a ladder.

with rungs, and so our permanent wires, our permanent fence is the stringers on the outside. Our portables are the rungs on the inside, and we can expand and contract those based on how big the herd is, how much grass there is, all sorts of factors. as to how much we're going to give them.

Well, the edges. The edges. The edges define like between the field and the forest or the field and a creek, field and a pond. All right. So you... Okay. So that's permanently fenced off. That's permanent. Okay. And then you simply run, you know, you had a little reel, okay, with polywire on it, and you run that across from side to side, and that gives— That demarcates an area.

That demarcates an area, and you're simply giving those cows a segment of that, you know, we call it a paddock.

Every day. And the beauty is that— In no time, the cows respond to you coming. I mean, think about your dog or your cat. When you bang the dish, they come running. They know what that is. Well, the cows, when we go out to move them roughly, we try to do it as close to four as possible,

If you got called every day at four o'clock for a bowl of ice cream, about 345, your tail would wag and your ears would wiggle too. And so the cows are ready and we go out and we just call them, come on, cows. And they just come running through. We close behind them. Why do they...
