Low Stress Livestock Handling

A number of producers are taking part in a 2-day Livestock Seminar. Dylan Biggs is an instructor for Low Stress Livestock Handling; it’s a concept that’s gaining a lot of interest with cattlemen.  He says the less stress on the handler and the animal the better --- adding the key is to learn to read the animal’s body language watching its eyes, ears and head movement.   Biggs adds instead of relying on force and power we need to focus on our positioning to get the animal to go where we want.
