About two-thirds of the 1,400 farms in Waterloo Region work with livestock, making the safe handling of animals very much a daily priority.
Susan Martin and her family work with sheep at their farm near Floradale. As a member of the Waterloo Rural Women group, she knows the importance of livestock safety.
“If you live or work on a farm or visit a farm, you do need to understand that there are differences in how large animals think compared to how we think. You have to know how to work around them or be around them safely,” she explained.
