Respect all animals; each animal
has a personality, treat it
accordingly.
How Should I Behave Around
Livestock?
You Should…
Use a calm and cautious manner; announce
your presence in advance and move slowly and
deliberately.
You Should…
Be patient; do not
get angry--it leads
to accidents.
You Should…
Dress correctly; wear sturdy gloves and safety
shoes or boots with composite tread soles to
protect the feet and give the best traction;
avoid flapping garments.
Livestock…
Startle easily; something as simple as a
puddle of water in the walkway can cause
them to a react suddenly.
Livestock…
See differently than
humans; they have
nearly 360 degree
vision and can see
everything around them
except directly behind
their hindquarters, but
have trouble judging
distance and do not see
color, making them
particularly skittish in
unfamiliar surroundings.
Livestock…
Have sensitive hearing and can be frightened
by loud noise; high frequency sound can hurt
their ears.
Livestock…
Protect their young;
be careful around
newborn animals.
Most male animals
are dangerous; use
extreme caution
around them.
