Table 1.

This table displays examples of scientific literature examining human-animal interactions in beef cattle during routine husbandry and management on rangelands (pragmatic) and those utilized in a research context (experimental). The location of the experiment is where observation of interaction or an interaction manipulation takes place. Isolation from conspecifics indicates an attempt to physically isolate beef cattle from other group-mates.
