Being one of the practices in animal management, handling and herding of livestock improves on the quality of animal products. A flight zone is where animals feel comfortable both with other members in herd and it is its personal space and it ranges from 1/2 a metre to several metres and it varies depending on the nature of cattle and handler. For a point of balance, it is at the shoulder of the animals.

Animal management

First for a point of balance, it is an instictive anti predator response and cattle bunch together for security and safety and a farmer should use the flight zone, point of balance and loose bunching to move the cattle. Finally for cattle circle and turn, animals confuse predator by creating distraction and this shows that animals are under pressure.
