This course was absolutely amazing. I feel so honored to have had this experience. For someone who has been around cattle my whole life yet is just now getting into managing them my self I feel so fortunate to learn this method of handling. I absolutely encourage anyone that is working with livestock (cattle, sheep, pigs etc) to delve into this. It will be well worth your efforts. Thanks a million Bud for putting so much of your life into this and thank you Tina and Richard for carrying on the torch.
Thanks so much Guner! We really appreciate hearing back from folks and seeing how they feel the information presented will work for them going forward.
