Benefits of Quality Stockmanship
The benefits of using quality, low-stress stockmanship are limitless. By using these techniques and the natural instincts of livestock we can influence how they respond to our positioning, pressure and or release. In learning how to feel and communicate with livestock, you will be able to move the animals more humanely, productively and efficiently. This is beneficial for both the human and the livestock. Through this livestock centered teaching, the animals will have reduced illnesses, increased weight gain, higher pregnancy rates, better milk production and there will be a reduction in injuries to both livestock and human.
