Stockmanship-your Key to Successful Herd Management

Have you heard about "Stockmanship" and wondered just what it was? Have you read something about Bud Williams or others who teach stockmanship and thought you might like to learn more? If so, this web page has many resources to help you.

Low stress livestock handling is more than just having "tame" animals you can pet or trick into the corral with grain, it means having the tools to easily and quietly manage your livestock through the entire production process including gathering, weaning, rotating pastures, sorting, backgrounding, feedlot management, etc. in a low stress (for you and the livestock) manner.

The emotional element of livestock is often ignored or misunderstood. They appear to be (and are often treated as) unemotional and stupid, when they are neither. Emotional stress can cause as much or more damage to production as the physical stress of poor feed, bad weather, or rough handling.
