Animal Science: Raising Livestock
📋 What it is
Farm animals need proper food, water, shelter and humane care to be healthy and productive.
🗣️ Coach says
Raising livestock responsibly is a science of care. Animals need the right FEED, clean WATER, SHELTER from weather, disease prevention, and humane treatment — enough space and low stress. Well-cared-for animals are healthier and more productive, and good welfare is both the right thing and good farming.
🧠 Memory hook
Livestock need feed + water + shelter + health care + humane treatment (space, low stress). Welfare = good farming.

Cows are surprisingly social — they form close friendships and get stressed when separated from their friends, which is why good farms keep familiar animals together.
