Handling cattle after that became a pleasure, I suppose not only for me but certainly also for the animals, instead of adversaries we became friends. I must thank you so much! Now that I am getting older and consider \u2018Retirement\u2019 as an option, I would like to pass on what I have learned from you to a young friend who is just starting a beef cattle herd, he is trying to do everything quite \u2018logically\u2019 [his logic] and I can see him making quite some unnecessary mistakes. He would not worry me so much but the welfare of the animals is a concern. And that leads me to two questions, a) are you by any chance holding a training school here in Australia again and if not, b) do you have\/sell the Stockmanship School as a DVD. Option a) would be the preferred one as one can ask you questions but if not b) would be better than nothing.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Answer:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s great to hear from you. It\u2019s always gratifying to hear that you were able to take things home from our school that has been helpful to you.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid that old age has finally caught up with us and we won&#8217;t be putting on anymore schools.<\/p>\n<p>We have a Stockmanship DVD set for sale for $125.00 (US funds). This video is about 5 hours long so of course, it doesn\u2019t show as many videos of cattle work as out 16+ hour school. It is still quite complete as far as teaching Bud\u2019s livestock handling methods. We also have a subscription based web site where Bud is available to answer your e-mail questions for $300.00 per year. We feel that people who are serious about learning from Bud can still do so buy using the DVDs and the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment\/Question: . . .
