I honestly don’t know. It certainly wouldn’t be my decision to make but if I were in a position where I had a list of farmers wanting something, I would want to make sure I fulfilled it if I were the beef levy board.

On a more serious note- Disconnect that Front handle - you will hit someone's head with it - speaking from experience.

Had that chat with her in the many conversations. She is a huge advocate of treats. A molassed treat that cows can lick from a bucket or you can put directly into their mouth and they will lean forward for more. She says it is the same principle as a dog, reward good behaviour (not bad) and make the experience a pleasant one.
It makes sense. I get the feeling that the work you do to condition your cattle before you need to handle them is worth it for when you need to handle them. Probably easier to condition them in the winter when you can run them all through your handling system without stopping them and then give them a treat - then run them through again, stop each one and then let it out for a treat.

Actually there's much more danger from the rear handle when in a two person operation.
I always brief my vet and we work together . Sometimes you need someone opening the front gate and yoke handle whilst I open the rear tipping diamond gate to get a younger or more timid beast to lead through

I’ve emailed and they’ve obviously had a few requests. Been to one of MPs talks before and very informative.

Miriam would be good, can't think my local MP would be much cop (or your's for that matter!!)
