An expert says the stress caused by improper livestock handling could make children reluctant to stay on the farm
Cattle handling expert Dylan Biggs gave crowd members something to think about during a workshop last week at the Ag in Motion outdoor farm show.
It wasn’t about cattle.
He suggested the stress many families experience when herding, loading and processing cattle could have an effect on farm succession.
“I guarantee there are kids that have had livestock handling experiences, that have not, let’s put it this way, have not really supported a vision of the future where they’re going to come back to livestock,” said Biggs.
