The Pig Handling courses and video have been produced by Nancy Lidster of DNL Farms Ltd based in Saskatchewan, Canada. Drawing on the low stress livestock handling methods developed by Bud Williams in the USA, the materials focus on understanding pig behaviour and using it to move pigs calmly and effectively. Nancy has spent over 10 years videoing pig handlers in barns, trucks, assembly yards and packing plants. She has a wealth of knowledge on what works and what doesn’t. Her approach is, on the face of it, unconventional, but attending her courses or watching her video will be a revelation, even for people who have spent many years working with pigs.

People handling pigs are often pressed for time and can easily get frustrated when pigs don’t cooperate. The resulting stress is unhealthy for the handlers, the pigs and the pork industry. Humans instinctively act in ways that make it difficult for pigs to do what we want. This workshop gives handlers the knowledge and the tools they need to avoid problems and move pigs more easily and with less stress.


Most pig handling problems arise because of a lack of understanding of the pig’s behaviour and how it responds to the handler. The Pig Handling Video shows real-life situations to explain in detail the pig’s responses. They identify the specific things handlers are doing that are either creating problems or leading to a positive result. They show viewers what they need to do to be effective and achieve calm, easy pig movement. The video costs US$200.
