Section 6 - Herd Animals


 
 

Cattle are herd animals and they are likely to become highly agitated and stressed when they are separated from their herd mates.   If an isolated animal becomes agitated, other animals should be put in with it as cattle are motivated to maintain visual contact with each other. Allow livestock to follow the leader and do not rush them.  If animals bunch up, handlers should concentrate on moving the leaders instead of pushing a group of animals to the rear.
