Dairy Stockmanship

The skillful, safe, effective and efficient handling of cows based on understanding cattle’s natural behavior is referred to as stockmanship.

Stockmanship uses the key characteristics of a cow’s natural behavior in order to handle the animal in a low stress environment. Better stockmanship skills result in moving cattle more effectively and more calmly around the farm.
