Absolutely. About time someone came out and said this. I agree with Cameron, I have worked cattle from the ground and can see how the wrong pilot skill can desensitise cattle very quickly. The new culture of less pressure from the air us 100% the way to go.
A few other things to think about when mustering cattle are that once you have them in a yard, you do need to make sure they have access to water from a number of troughs. After being moved in hot conditions, even heat-adapted cattle will be under water stress and the quicker you let them rehydrate, the quicker they'll be feeling calm and happy again. Branding is necessary, but freeze-branding causes a lot less pain than hot branding does, and the less pain you inflict, the less reason cattle have to resist mustering. Finally, if the cattle are developing a culture of resisting rounding up, then forcibly round up and move out every last one of them to stop the refuseniks teaching the new ones the same behaviour!
they are using visuals to what he is saying is wrong by the people who have done it wrong. they are using those visuals when he talks about it to show what ya don't do. its not him. they only use what he says when his doing the right thing. get it?
