Learn how to condition calmness in both humans and animals. On Thursday, April 9, Don Höglund will teach us in both a general session and an optional hands-on post-conference session about how animals respond to different handling techniques.
Dr. Don Höglund
Every employee on your farm that interacts with your animals is causing your animals (and your other workforce) to learn something.
