Finding experienced labour on farm can be difficult, particularly when it comes to working with livestock.

Handling heavy sheep can present us with physical challenge and at times it can be dangerous. The use of a sheep handler can reduce the requirement for physical strength and endurance.

At the least, this means operators can get high numbers of sheep through the yards for animal husbandry, weighing or scoring, without feeling exhausted at the end of the day. This report is by Mark Saunders and Ben White.
