Ruminating with RealAg, Ep 20: Handling cows and calves without losing your cool

by

There have been many memes created around the adventure that working cattle with family members can hold. Whether that’s husband and wife, or kids with their parents, the things said while working cattle are often things that cannot be spoken outside of the corral.

This was Dylan Biggs’ experience growing up working cattle with his parents, and it eventually led him to finding a more laid back and relaxed way.

In this episode of Ruminating with RealAg, Biggs, a well-known public speaker and advocate for low-stress animal handling out of TK Ranch in Alberta says, “If I was going to spend the rest of my life doing this, I thought, there’s gotta be a better way, right? Because this is crazy.”

Biggs joins host Amber Bell to share how he developed his low-stress animal handling approach and the lessons he’s learned while working with calving cows. From why confidence matters to the best way to tag and move cow-calf pairs, he offers practical tips for making cattle handling safer and smoother.
