LORRAINE, Kan. (RFD News) — Moly Manufacturing recently hosted its “Beef and Greet” event, bringing together conversations surrounding cattle handling, livestock equipment and innovation across the beef industry.
The company is known for designing livestock handling equipment focused on low-stress cattle movement and rancher safety.
Founder and president Jon Mollhagen says automation is becoming one of the biggest developments in the industry as producers seek to reduce labor demands and improve efficiency.
“What’s really new is we’re looking at more automation. As our equipment develops, we’re seeing more automation needed to reduce the labor and also the stress on these animals.”
Mollhagen says safety remains the top priority when working with livestock and designing new handling systems.
