TEMPLE GRANDIN LIVESTOCK HANDLING WORKSHOP
Dr. Temple Grandin, an expert on animal handling and animal behavior is coming to Ross County to give a livestock handling workshop on August 24 and 25. As I write this newsletter I still do not have details regarding specific times, location and cost, but livestock producers may want to reserve these dates on your calendar. For those who may not be familiar with Dr. Grandin’s work, here is some information taken from her web page:
Dr. Grandin is a designer of livestock handling facilities and a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. Facilities she has designed are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed for meat plants. Curved chute and race systems she has designed for cattle are used worldwide and her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling.
Currently, Dr. Grandin teaches courses on livestock behavior and facility design at Colorado State University and consults with the livestock industry on facility design, livestock handling, and animal welfare. She has appeared on television shows such as 20/20, 48 Hours, CNN Larry King Live, PrimeTime Live, the Today Show, and many shows in other countries. She has been featured in People Magazine, the New York Times, Forbes, U.S. News and World Report, Time Magazine, the New York Times book review, and Discover magazine. Interviews with Dr. Grandin have been broadcast on National Public Radio. She has also authored over 300 articles in both scientific journals and livestock periodicals on animal handling, welfare, and facility design. She is the author of "Thinking in Pictures", "Livestock Handling and Transport," and "Genetics and the Behavior of Domestic Animals." Her book "Animals in Translation" was a New York Times best seller.
As more details become available regarding this workshop in Ross County, I’ll post the information on the Athens County Extension web site at: http://athens.osu.edu/ under the “Hot Topics” heading in the left-hand column. For those without Internet access, check back with at the Athens County Extension office at 593-8555 by mid-July. For now, keep the dates of August 24-25 open.
