I had a bit of trouble downloading the audio, but there are many other references to her work if you google her name.

She is familiar to me. I read about her years ago. She designed gates that hold the cattle closely around the mid section. Much like wrapping an infant tightly around a baby will relax them, the tightness the cattle feel around the belly and rib arera soothes them, and makes the process of slaughter orders of magnitude less stressful. Something about being held tightly (but, not too tightly) is calming.
