Loading cattle is a potentially hazardous task. Your actions and positioning during the loading process can make all the difference in keeping yourself, your co-workers, and the animals safe.
This Good Day’s Work training course covers the fundamentals of safely loading cattle using calm, patient, and low-stress handling techniques. Content includes preparing the right equipment, understanding cattle behavior, recognizing blind spots and flight zones, and safely responding when animals become stressed.
The course also explains why inexperienced employees should not work alone with cattle that are new to the operation, how to move cattle in small groups, and why every handler should identify a safe place to step. Learning to respect an animal’s personal space and work at a steady pace can help everyone get home safe.
