Episode 130: Welcoming Visitors: Show Off Your Herd Safely

Inviting people onto your beef operation, whether for tours, sales or casual stock viewings, is a valuable way to build connections and share your story. However, it also comes with an important responsibility. Every visitor, from neighbours and tourists to friends and family, can unintentionally bring in or spread disease, making biosecurity a critical part of any on-farm visit. In this episode, we explore why biosecurity matters and break down the practical steps that can be taken before, during and after a visit to reduce disease risk.   Relevant Links: Welcoming Visitors: Show off Your Herd (article) Biosecurity (webpage) Cleaning & Disinfecting Footwear (resource) Feed Quality, Testing & Analysis for Beef Cattle (webpage and tools)
