I found this quote important because this shows her interest is to improve the cattle business as a whole. Once she learned how to improve the quality of the cattle's lives she realized that she could change the way cattle are treated throughout the entire industry and therefore change the industry as a whole with her designs. Temple designed a way for cattle to move through the stock yards in a way that wouldn't cause them fear.

I found this important because I have a background working with people that have autism and this quote means a lot to the community. Even more than that, this quote is a reminder that Temple used this quote to cope with what she went through as a person with autism that had to function in society, and work as hard as she did to be able to show the world what she had to offer to the cattle industry as a whole.

This Saturday, February 6, when HBO's Temple Grandin airs, farmers and ranchers across the country will be tuning in to honor "s work in improving the care of cattle. Grandin, living with autism, revolutionized livestock handling by tapping into her ability to see the world in a different way to develop a deeper understanding of animal behavior.

A short trailer from the film is available on Drovers.com.

"There's not a rancher in this country that isn't aware of her work. We have all been influenced by Temple," says Clint Peck, Director, Beef Quality Assurance at . "There is no question her work has helped us all understand more about our animals and how to handle them in a caring and humane manner."

The beef checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program sets cattle handling and beef quality standards that are followed throughout the beef production process from farm to fork to ensure cattle are receiving proper care.

""s insight into animal behavior and low-stress handling is the foundation of the BQA assessment, which is the scoring system we use to verify cattle are handled properly. Her contributions are monumental," said Ryan Ruppert, director, Beef Quality Assurance, National Cattlemen's Beef Association. Ruppert attended the Denver premiere of HBO's on Wednesday night as a guest of Grandin.

"I thought the movie did a great job capturing the challenges overcame to improve livestock care in food production. What shocked me is how different the beef industry looks today than it did in the 60s and 70s as a result of her perseverance. She is a true pioneer," said Ruppert.

Grandin's work has touched every segment of beef production, from the farm to the feedlot and, ultimately, the processing facility.

" has been a critical resource to Cargill, which has allowed us to continually improve our animal handling facilities and our animal welfare programs," said John Keating, President, Cargill Beef. Dr. Mike Siemens, Cargill Leader Animal Welfare and Husbandry, added, "'s insight and understanding of cattle behavior is truly unique. Her ability and expertise in facility design have been invaluable to the beef industry."

Cargill Beef is the second largest processor in North America and is one of the largest commercial cattle feeders in the United States. Cargill Beef sells fresh meat and other products to virtually every major chain, wholesaler and distributor in the country.

"Our facilities have been designed with Dr. Grandin's philosophy in mind, and over the years we have continued to improve on this low-stress handling approach. We know these processes work based on how calm and quiet the cattle stay and ultimately how much easier it is for us to get our work done," said Patsy Houghton, Ph.D. and owner of Heartland Cattle Company in .

Heartland Cattle pioneered the heifer development business in the beef industry. Heartland's heifer development and research center has bred more than 71,000 heifers and weaned more than 120,000 calves since its inception in 1990.

"When cattle arrive at one of our feedyards, they are moved through areas that are Grandin, like the curved chute, that use the animals" natural instincts to minimize stress. In fact, several of our processing facilities were built under her direction," said Mike Thoren, president and chief operating officer for JBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding, LLC. "Her insights and empathy into animal behavior revolutionized the cattle industry and continue to ensure cattle are handled humanely."

Employing more than 650 professionals, JBS Five Rivers is the largest cattle feeder in the world with a combined feeding capacity of more than 839,000 head of cattle with locations in Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and .

Grandin's unique understanding of animal behavior is used to teach low-stress handling techniques in feedlots, auction markets, and on farms and ranches across the country through the BQA Stockmanship and Stewardship program.

" has been a wonderful advocate for animals and animal agriculture by improving the overall management and well-being of livestock. We take it to the next step and teach cattlemen how to effectively implement procedures to take advantage of the principles she has promoted throughout her career," says Ron Gill, Associate Department Head for Extension, Animal Science Department, Texas AgriLife Extension. Gill travels the country training livestock handlers in BQA-approved cattle handling techniques.

"We've always cared for our cattle but has given us more insight into their behavior. Personally, I have more confidence in how I handle animals because of her work," says Peck.

I feel like this quote is important to the progression of temples work. It shows that she herself just wanted to be treated humanely and therefore understood the feelings the cattle felt when going through the slaughtering process. The fear, the uncertainty, and the need for safety. She found a way to make them feel safe, and remove the anxiety from the slaughtering process. She gave them the same feelings of security they got from the machine, so the process was no longer fear inducing.

I found this quote important because it explains that desire for humanity that Temple has. She on some levels wanted to be treated humanely by her peers, and just like that she saw the need for humane treatment of the animals as well. She advocated not only for her improvements of the cattle industry, but for humane treatment of animals throughout out the business of agriculture everywhere.

I feel like this is an important quote because it was the first time in the movie that Temple kind of realized something about herself and equated her own needs with those of an animals. Temple realized that if she could prove that the machine worked for herself and other people, then she could be proved a power house of knowledge within the cattle trading industry. And that machine was the first step in that process.
