Farm Smarter with Dr. Grandin’s Principles:
– Gather and drive your herd by working with grazing animals’ instincts for avoiding predators.
– Move your herd at the pace of its slowest member.
– The leader of the herd or flock is usually not the dominant animal.
– Moving sheep through a gate is like siphoning water; never break the flow of their follow-the-leader instinct.
– Prevent many serious behavior problems by raising young animals in social groups with other animals.
