THE HUMANE HAND:

A resource for developing careful and confident livestock handlers in meat plants.

Come see us at the

2024 Wisconsin Association of Meat Processors Annual Convention, April 11-14!


We would love to meet you and discuss our available training resources, workshops and can even get you registered to attend. Great visual aids for stun placement will be on hand. Hope to see you there!

Attend our Training Workshops for Free!


Thank you to the AMSA and DATCP for supporting industry training opportunities for personnel associated with slaughter establishments of all sizes, located within the US.


How this works:

  1. No workshop fees are paid out of pocket. 
  2. Sign up online, by phone, or by email. We will confirm if you qualify for one of our tuition reimbursement programs. 
  3. Those who do not qualify will have the option to pay the $1000 workshop fee or cancel. 
  4. We manage all the paperwork on our end, all you need to do is attend the workshop and cover your own travel expenses.
