A “must to watch” for anyone working with cattle. Thank you Dr. Stookey!

Great instructional videos, thank you Joe!

This is so well done! Thank you! (Will show to my LVT students.)

How so? Dr. Stookey demonstrates the proper application of pressure and release. This is a very common approach to horses, as well, which it appears you have an interest in. This is no different than using your legs to pressure a horse to move in a desired direction, or your heels (with or without spurs), or a bit. But it must be applied correctly. These tools are only as severe as the hands that put them to work, and Dr. Stookey shows how to properly do this.

Es necesario tener en cuenta que es un animal muy tranquilo pero con animales más broncos es muy difícil obtener buenos resultados y si aprietas demasiado puedes causarles una fractura en la cola.

I wonder how many people have stopped to think why the cow is refusing to move. Perhaps it is scared, confused, or simply analyzing a new environment. I fail to see how twisting the animal’s tail is not a form of punishment or abuse even when “conducted properly”. I also wonder what other methods are used when twisting the tail doesn’t work. Wouldn’t a better solution be to remove the potential of any form of abuse at all by allowing cows to be free and adopting a plant based diet?

He said it's a form of negative re- enforcement, it wasn't denied. Of course you missed that rushing to your keyboard possessed by the demon of your ideology that is so obvious. If you've worked with animals you'd know they have personalities and some are just as disagreeable as I am raking you over the coals here ;) It takes much to move some. All of us that work with animals have thought far enough ahead to do what you say btw. Quiet peaceful movements with no loud clanging and using light in a dim space or the picture of another cow's ass so they think another one is ahead....many brutal and many peaceful methods. This is nothing more than a slight uncomfortable pressure as if I were putting you in an armbar and pushing it to the uncomfortable, but not painful, proprioceptive realization point. One becomes aware of the impending and seeks to minimize the pressure.

Hannah Ryles So if you had a cow that really needed to be restrained for necessary veterinary treatment, but refused to enter the head chute, you'd just let it die because you don't want to be "mean"? He's not breaking the tail and the pressure is released immediately.
