Famed stockman a maestro of cattle handling Understanding how your movements affect your cows makes it easier to manage them, whether in the pasture or in the pen

atching Curt Pate work cattle is like watching W a child tugging at a kite string on a windy day. At first, it seems he can’t possibly control the wild movement of this unpredictable thing he’s trying to direct. But soon enough, he has everything well in hand. When he approaches the small herd from the left, the cattle move right — exactly where he intended them to go. He moves right, the cattle veer left. When he runs, they run, and stop when he does — all the while watching this stranger intently for their next cue. The trick, he says, is pressure. “It is possible to completely change the way an animal thinks and feels and works off our pressure,” said the Montana native at a recent workshop in Okotoks. “Animal handling can make a big difference in the way animals respond to us.” Cattle handlers sometimes confuse stress and pressure, he said. Low-stress cattle handling is not the same as no-pressure cattle handling. “If you don’t put enough pressure on an animal and you’ve got to get him into a crowd of “Cow whisperer” Curt Pate demonstrated low-stress cattle-handling techniques at a recent workshop in Okotoks.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) has wiped out an estimated seven million pigs, infected farms in 30 states, and helped push pork prices to record highs since the first case was found in Ohio in April 2013. A second strain of the virus and a separate disease called swine delta coronavirus also have been discovered. “That pathway that it came in on, and the same pathway that delta corona came in, is very con- cerning to us,” USDA’s Chief Vet- erinary Officer John Clifford told Reuters. “We’re doing all that we can to try to identify that. We may not identify it, though.” PEDv is not a threat to humans or food, according to the USDA.

By Jonathan Allen bunkerville, nevada / reuters

hen the U.S. government declared the W Mojave desert tortoise an endangered species in 1989, it effectively marked the cattle ranchers of Nevada’s Clark County for extinction. Rancher Cliven Bundy once had neighbours on the range: when the tortoise was listed, there were about 50 cattle- ranching families in the county. Some of them fought court battles to stay, rejecting the idea their cattle posed a danger to the tortoises. But, one by one, they slowly gave up and disappeared. Bundy has proven himself one of the most tenacious of this vanishing breed. Backed by armed militiamen, the rancher forced federal agents to stop rounding up his cattle in April, which were grazing illegally on public lands shared by the tortoises. Bundy initially joined his neighbours in their legal fight to stay but then took a more Protesters gather at the Bureau of Land Management’s base camp, where the cattle that were seized from rancher Cliven Bundy were being held, near hardline stance, refusing to rec- Bunkerville, Nevada April 12, 2014.

o farmer would sit on the tractor stuck in the mud, going Nnowhere and refusing to even try. So why do farm families remain mired in emotional muck that sometimes lasts decades, and still be unwilling to resolve it? Certified farm family coach Elaine Froese and conflict resolution expert Megan McKenzie use the analogy to describe what they see happening with farm families experiencing difficulties with in-laws in their new book Farming’s In-Law Factor — How to Have More Harmony and Less Conflict on Family Farms. The co-authors say they wrote the book to help push farm families forward, by resolving conflict that stems from difficulties in relationships with in-laws, as families figure out what to do with the farm. “Conflict avoidance is one of the biggest problems in agriculture,” says Froese, who has coached over 600 farm families primarily across Western Canada since earning her farm coach credentials in 2003, and who also served the farm community as a professional home economist since 1978. “If farmers embraced conflict as a business tool management strategy they’d be a lot smarter around not Farm family coach Elaine Froese (l) and conflict specialist Megan McKenzie are Boissevain-based authors of a newly released book on how families letting the conflicts be unresolved can strengthen relationships that affect decision-making on the farm. pHOTO: KIMAGE PHOTOGRAPHY around the farm,” says Froese.
