Full description
The square paddock has become a prison for stock.
The cow is a herd animal and is a selective grazer.
The wild cattle like the present African Wildebeast wandered across the land with the seasons grazing scrubs and grasses so that they recover.
This short clip was made by the farmer as his herd were being culled for slaughter because they had run out of feed in the square paddock.
The stock routes are poorly maintained and watered and agistment is economically unviable.
