چکیده
The primary objective of this chapter is to discuss the effects of genetics on the behavior of herding animals during handling and restraint.

During our careers we have observed thousands of animals under many different conditions. In this chapter we will discuss our observations under practical conditions and research findings, which would affect behavior during handling, herding, or restraint.
