Low Stress Stock Handling

Low Stress Stock Handling is an advanced, yet easy to learn method of handling all classes of livestock.
  • LSS teaches us how we can increase animal productivity by working with the animals, not against the animals.
  • LSS gives people the skills to be safe in stockyards.
  • LSS begins in the paddock and is beneficial to both the operator and the animal right through to marketing.
  • It is important to combine these stockhandling skills with a properly designed set of yards. The most important feature of these yards is the Bud Box.
  • The end result of LSS effectiveness is completely dependent upon attitude.
  • LSS will save you time in both paddock and yard and your stock will perform better.
The codes of the yards refer to average working capacities not a mythological made up figure that some other yard suppliers quote. See below info for more details. The National Stockyard Systems numbers will work for that number of average sized cattle. (A bit like a kitchen where 8 people can stand in it or 2 people can work in it. If you had 8 people standing in the kitchen, nobody could work in it).
