Exercise 13

Restraining Methods for Domestic Ruminants


Although beef and dairy cattle are both bovine species, their temperament and personality
are quite different. Dairy cattle tend to be more docile as they are used to being handled, whereas
beef cattle are raised on pasture and have minimal handling. Different breeds can also vary in
regards to the amount of restraint needed. The size of cattle brings a higher level of safety
concerns. Their heavy weight and size can easily crush a body of the handler, and they can butt
with their large heads. Veterinarians should always take great care to not place themselves
between the animal and an object to prevent crushing.
