Cattle are large, powerful animals and, although they can become very tame when handled frequently, people are regularly injured and even killed by cattle, especially bulls. The problem is exacerbated when horns are not removed. Cattle handling facilities circumvent many problems and, once erected, provide ease of management for many years if good quality material is used.
The first step is to decide where to place the handling facility. Animals should not have to walk too far to reach the facility and placing a handling facility within reach of the farmer’s house circumvents the need to travel far to fetch items such as vaccines that were forgotten at home.
