Cattle can become severely agitated and panicked within seconds of being presented with a novel stimulus. When handlers herd and transport cattle it is important to properly assess the herd, interact with cattle in the least stress inducing manner, and constantly monitor for signs of panic or stress. This infographic presents knowledge and information that can assist all handlers in ensuring cattle welfare as well as their own welfare.
