Join us to talk about all things cattle handling (as well as some facility design considerations). The low stress cattle handling mindset puts less stress on both the cattle and those who are helping out as staff, friends, or family members.
Guest Lecturer:
Dr. Reg Steward:
In addition to the supervisory and consulting duties Reg provides as an AgSafe consultant, he provides livestock handling clinics, training and courses to agricultural workers, government agencies, stockmen and livestock handlers throughout North America.
Reg rides range and cowboys for ranches near Williams Lake. Working in that world, one that he grew up working in and to which he returned after 20 years as a member of the RCMP, keeps him in touch with the latest ranching issues. It ensures he never forgets the need for practical solutions to issues of health and safety and solutions that work. Reg knows the long days spent in isolation, with changing environments and conditions. He understands the need to be compliant, while understanding the value of blending what is already being done with what needs to be done, the value of what is done being recorded, and the recording being a very simple process. He really enjoys the challenge and revels in working with those who possess the resilient, independent spirit that make farmers and ranchers a very special breed.
