Yankee recently helped sponsor workshops hosted by UVM Extension and Ben and Jerry's Caring Dairy Program. The workshops, held in Vermont and New York, focused on dairy stockmanship. Dairy stockmanship is low stress, safe, positive, efficient animal handling that improves the outcome for both the animal and people. The workshops were led by Don Höglund, DVM.
Across The Fence had an interesting interview with Dr. Höglund, Dr. Julie Smith of UVM Extension, and Rachel Gilker of Caring Dairy on 1/29/15 (15:09):
