Temple Grandin is a designer of livestock handling facilities and a professor of animal science at Colorado State University.
Livestock handling facilities she has designed are located throughout the world. In North America, almost half of the cattle are handled in a center track restrainer system that she designed. Her writings on the flight zone and other principles of grazing animal behavior have helped many people to reduce stress on their animals during handling.
Grandin has also developed an objective scoring system for assessing handling of cattle and pigs at meat plants. Other areas of research are: cattle temperament, environmental enrichment for pigs, reducing dark cutters and bruises, bull fertility, training procedures, and effective stunning methods for cattle and pigs at meat plants.
She obtained her B.A. at Franklin Pierce College and her M.S. in animal science at Arizona State University. Grandin received her Ph.D. in animal science from the University of Illinois in 1989. Today she teaches courses on livestock behavior and facility design at CSU and consults with the livestock industry on facility design, livestock handling, and animal welfare. She has appeared on television shows such as 20/20, 48 Hours, CNN Larry King Live, PrimeTime Live, 60 Minutes and the Today Show. She has been featured in People Magazine, the New York Times, Forbes, U.S. News and World Report, Time Magazine, the New York Times book review, and Discover magazine.
In 2010, Time Magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people. She has also authored more than 400 articles in both scientific journals and livestock periodicals on animal handling, welfare and facility design.
She is the author of “Thinking in Pictures”, “Livestock Handling and Transport,” “Genetics and the Behavior of Domestic Animals,” “The Autistic Brain” and “Humane Livestock Handling.” Her books “Animals in Translation” and “Animals Make Us Human” were both on the New York Times bestseller list. Her life story has also been made into an HBO movie titled “Temple Grandin,” which starred Claire Danes and won seven Emmy awards and a Golden Globe.
