Question: . . . .<\/strong><\/em> I am writing to you as I wish to learn more about Bud’s Low stress stock handling. I have done a LSS course here in Australia with Jim Lindsay a few years ago when I was working on a company station in the Northern Territory (NT). I’m now running my own station here in the NT which is very much undeveloped, by this I mean there is some 75,000 ac that is unfenced and even of the fenced country here, has very little infrastructure, not even a set of yards. After doing the LSS school with Jim we started setting up portable yards using the Bud Box design with great success, but am hungry for more information. I am wonder does Bud have any information on different designs for yards and watering points that may be of some value to me. I would love to also come over and do a school with Bud, how often does he run schools. I did work in Texas mainly in the Panhandle back in 2004-2005. A well worth experience, it was great to see how a job can be done so differently to achieve the same results.<\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I’m sorry Jay, but I\u2019m a firm believer that people should design their own corrals. If you have been to a school or have purchased our DVD set so that you have a background understanding of my concepts I\u2019ll be happy to look over your design and make comments.\u00a0Eunice has attached some material on the Bud Box that you might find helpful.<\/p>\n

“it was great to see how a job can be done so differently to achieve the same results.”<\/em> I’ll argue a little with this statement. If you are only judging by being able to “sort cows from calves,” or “getting a group of cattle through the processing chute quickly,” etc., I might\u00a0agree. If by “same results<\/em>” you mean that after the cattle have gone back to pasture or pens they are in a frame of mind that contributes to gaining well and staying in good health, then I don’t agree at all. Not that “my way is the only way,” but I firmly believe that the welfare of the animals is always #1. Surprisingly enough, I’ve found that by always keeping this in mind I’ve found\u00a0that the jobs will be completed more quickly.<\/p>\n

I’m afraid that old age has caught up with Eunice and I (79\/74) and we won’t be putting on anymore schools. We have a Stockmanship DVD set for sale for $125.00 and a Marketing DVD set for sale for $200.00.\u00a0 We also have a subscription based web site where I\u2019m available to answer your e-mail questions for $300.00 per year.\u00a0 We feel that people who are serious about learning from me can still do so by using the DVDs and the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
