Women in a man’s world - who said that women cannot be as professional in a man’s world as the man himself? ARC-ILI is very proud of its professional women, working side by side with men as a qualified corps, sometimes under difficult circumstances, in the field. Their own testimony reveals that they enjoy their work thoroughly.

For successful beef producing, certain facilities are necessary. These facilities must simplify the management of the system and limit labour to the minimum. It must be functional and economical and a safe environment for the animals, as well as a safe working environment for the handlers. The ARC-Institute for Agricultural Engineering has compiled a manual that will be of great value to the beef producer. Some aspects of the handling facilities as such are discussed in this article.
