Author: Nicole Rhein
Planning Unit: Marshall County CES
Major Program: Agriculture
Plan of Work: Agriculture and Natural Resources Education for Youth
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
There are approximately 13, 600 head of cattle in Marshall County (USDA National Agriculture Statistics Service.) It is common knowledge that cattle and other large livestock often escape their enclosures but few members of the general population know how to safely interact with these escaped livestock. Many adults and children lack experience with large animals, having never been around livestock. A large number of those who have have experience with livestock, only have experience with large animals in low stress agri-tourism settings where they view tame livestock in a controlled environment.
