Livestock Handling Safety

Livestock handling safety involves practices that protect both humans and animals during interactions on farms or ranches. Key principles include understanding animal behavior, using appropriate equipment, and maintaining a calm environment. Proper handling techniques reduce stress for animals and minimize the risk of injury to handlers. Always wear protective gear, approach animals slowly, and use low-stress methods to guide them. It's vital to be aware of your surroundings and use facilities designed for safety, such as pens and chutes, to prevent accidents. Prioritizing safety ensures productive and humane livestock management.
