Webinar Recording: Stress Free Stockmanship – Practical Tools for Low Stress Livestock Handling.

Watch this down-to-earth recorded session led by Bruce Maynard, 4^th generation farmer, agricultural innovator, and Bob Hawke Landcare Award recipient, to explore the foundations of no-stress stock handling and how these simple, animal-centred principles can transform livestock performance, handler safety, and whole-farm efficiency.

Bruce unpacks the how and why behind low-stress techniques:

• Understanding livestock behaviour, refining your presence and movement, and creating calmer, more responsive animals.
• Looking at low- and no-stress yard design, highlighting the key features that support natural livestock flow.

You’ll learn the real-world benefits of these approaches, from reduced labour and improved animal welfare to better weight gains, fewer setbacks, and a safer working environment for everyone involved.
