The Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association has created a series of training videos for feedlot employees.
The short videos, made by feedlot veterinarian Dr. Joyce Van Donkersgoed, are meant to supplement training provided by herd health veterinarians and nutritionists.
“Without well-trained and competent feedlot processors and pen riders, it is hard to effectively manage animal health and welfare, and ensure good performance of feedlot cattle,” Van Donkersgoed said in an article at the Alberta Beef Producers website.
