I raised cows as a youth, and whenever we’d open the gate to let them move from a pasture that was getting eaten down to one that they hadn’t been in for a few weeks, they’d run in there excitedly, kicking up their heels and bellowing with joy. It definitely seemed more in line with “let’s get this GRASS”. Also they loved reaching as far as they could under the electric fence, and a couple of them really liked certain weeds (most of the cows hated thistles, but one of them loved them. First thing he’d do in a new pasture was eat all the thistles, one by one.

Their favorite thing was when mowed the lawn if we dumped the trimmed grass for them they would often follow the mower waiting for the bags to get full.
