Body

This presentation will introduce fundamentals of stockmanship with a particular emphasis on “low-stress livestock handling.” It will (a) start with definitions and set the context, then (b) contrast conventional livestock handling with low-stress livestock handling, (c) make the case for low-stress livestock handling, then (d) articulate its basic principles and techniques. Three primary questions will be answered: What is low-stress livestock handling? Why is it important? How do you do it? This presentation will lay the groundwork for the subsequent talks in the section, Stockmanship: Managing Rangelands with Effective Low-Stress Livestock Handling.
