livestock handler
Works with cattle
A livestock handler is a person who works directly with farm animals—cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, or poultry—moving, feeding, restraining, or caring for them.
The term emphasizes physical interaction with animals rather than ownership or management: The rodeo hired experienced livestock handlers for the event.
Good handling requires understanding animal behavior to minimize stress and injury.
