That looks like a bull stud to me.  The fence with just the posts no rails are designed for the handlers to have a quick exit that the animals can't get through.  It is purely a safety feature.  There are versions of this here in the USA at some bull studs.

We haven't ever owned a belgian blue bull, but about 14 years ago, we AI'ed our angus bulls, to a neighbors, belgian blue bull, because they are supposed to add tenderness, so about 1/4 of our cow herd, has belgian blue a few generations back. I also have worked with 3/4 and 1/2  belgian blue cows  and they don't even begin to have that much muscle, I have a show heifer that is 1/4 belgian blue.

I can see how the fence would work as a saftey percaution

The video takes for ever
