CATTLE HANDLING AND SAFETY NEWSLETTER - CLICK FOR THE FULL READ

Hi all, we hope you are all doing well. The job of the newsletter has fallen to us this month and it seemed a good opportunity to introduce ourselves. We are Jess, Lucy and Hannah and we look forward to meeting you all over the coming months as we settle in. This month, we're diving into cattle handling and safety. With dehorning and castration season just around the corner, it's a perfect time to chat about making those routines smoother for everyone involved. An efficient and safe system makes both your lives and ours easier, as well as leading to much happier cattle!  

Why it matters 

In systems where cattle may not be handled regularly, events such as TB testing, dehorning, castrating or any reason why you may be bringing them in to inject can be stressful for them (and you!). Stress can lead to a whole host of problems such as: immune suppression, reduced weight gain or a drop in yield.  

The 3 big reasons we wnat to get it right

• Health and safety
• Cattle health and welfare
• Productivity and economics
