It appears as if these cattle are out-wintering on kale sown earlier in the year. There are bales of fodder presumably hay laid out on each strip of the field to supplement the kale. The cattle are currently feeding on the area on the left. When this is exhausted the electric fence will be moved across to allow the cattle into the next strip in the centre of the image.
