10:24Now PlayingThe biggest mistake a new livestock owner can make is buying animals before building a secure corral. As Joel Salatin warns in this course, skipping this crucial step is "asking for trouble".
In Session 5 of Cattle Grazing Management, Joel Salatin explains why a sturdy, well-located corral is your most important piece of security infrastructure. Learn the specific requirements for placement, design, and materials, and how to make the corral a stress-free part of your daily routine.
Key Takeaways from this Session:
- A corral is essential for security, preventing escapes, and providing a controlled environment to train animals to an electric fence.
- The corral should be centrally located for easy flow-through during daily paddock shifts to prevent the animals from developing a reluctance to enter.
- The structure must be strong enough for you to "know so, not think so" that it will hold your animals, and should feature a quiet, homemade head gate for safe intervention.
