Homesteading with cattle – the farm infrastructure NIGHTMARE nobody expects

Описание: 🐄 Farm Life REALITY – What Homesteading with LIVESTOCK Actually Looks Like 🚜

Homesteading with livestock isn’t just cute animals and green paddocks — it’s planning, infrastructure, patience, and a fair bit of stubbornness (from humans and calves). 😅

In this episode of Hayes Homestead Australia, we show the real side of Australian farm life as we set up automated water trough systems, move our cattle to a new paddock, deal with one particularly stubborn calf, and break down the up-front costs of getting livestock started.

This is practical, honest, no-fluff homesteading — the stuff people don’t always talk about before bringing animals onto their property.

💡 In this episode:

Installing automatic livestock water troughs 🚰

Moving cows between paddocks (including one hold-out calf 🐄😅)

Slashing and maintaining grazing paddocks 🚜

The real costs of starting with livestock 💰
