YouTube Description
as posted by the channelStop struggling and stressing out your herd during handling!
In this essential Cattle Grazing Management session, "Corral Design", Joel Salatin breaks down the low-stress principles of animal handling. Drawing heavily from the groundbreaking work of Temple Grandin and Bud Williams, Joel explains how cows perceive their environment and how small design changes can lead to seamless flow. Learn the three basic pillars of a no-stress head gate assembly, the importance of quiet handling, and the minimum size and number of compartments needed for efficient sorting. Master the art of working with your animals, not against them, for a calmer, more effective operation.
Key Takeaways for Low-Stress Corral Design:
- Corral designs should be circular, as animals prefer to turn, especially to the right.
- Animals should feel like they are exiting where they entered (a U-shape works beautifully).
- Always direct animals toward light, but avoid intense glaring sunlight.
- Aim for a minimum of 15 square feet per cow in holding areas.
- A minimum of four compartments is needed for efficient sorting.
