Movie Monday: Moving Cattle with ATVs

Just like we promised last week, this week’s #MovieMonday will continue the trio of videos for effectively handling cattle in a low-stress manner while herding and sorting. Just as a refresher, last week’s was all about handling cattle on foot- a common practice in our great state- but this week’s focuses on using ATV’s as a means for moving your cattle.

It’s easy to learn what to and not to do on an ATV when you’re with your herd. Just watch below, and let Curt Pate and Dr. Temple Grandin show you the ropes:

Producers: 
We don’t have to tell you that cattle are skittish animals. That’s why low-stress handling practices are very important for overall quality assurance and animal welfare for your cattle.

Low-stress handling can even help prevent BRD (bovine respiratory disease) and other ailments or diseases that come about when animals are placed in high-stress situations.
