Handling livestock during stressful situations can be extremely difficult for responders as well as the animal. Think in terms of safety first, safety for you, the animal and anyone else in the area. This training prepares you to immediately apply your knowledge to the field, with hands-on training from experienced instructors focused on the animal response using the latest handling techniques. Livestock should always be approached in a calm, quite way and handled appropriately. Livestock have a great ability to sense fear, therefore handlers should be confident in their actions and always be aware of their ability. This class will build confidence in handlers and provide the necessary skills to handle livestock.
In addition, you will learn front/rear assist and perform a downed animal rescue exercise.
