Proper handling techniques are crucial when it comes to working with cattle. Yelling and screaming at the animals is not an effective way to get the job done. Instead, it's important to learn how to work with the cattle and understand how they react to different situations. This is where experience comes in handy. Dick Hauser of Neptune Enterprises is one expert when it comes to cattle handling.
“I have a saying that if you've got a half hour and you want to get something done with cattle, go do something else,” says Hauser. “When you've got plenty of time, decide to work with your cattle and you probably get it done faster.”
Hauser was a state executive director for the Wisconsin Cattlemen's Association in the 90s. During this time, he had the opportunity to work with Temple Grandin, a well-known figure in the industry. He never forgot the principles that Temple worked with, and he has now put them into practice with his own company.
