Happy Hawaiian Cows

The video discusses the sustainable ranching practices of the De Luz family in Hawaii, who raise low-stress, grass-fed cattle. They receive assistance from the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service to ensure sufficient healthy grass for their cattle. This includes implementing rotational grazing by fencing off pasture sections and installing water troughs to keep cattle hydrated. These practices align with nature's intent and promote efficient resource use.
