This book, written in 2004, has the basic elements of stockmanship for the range rider. It is undergoing substantial expansion to include a great many more details about working stock in facilities, sorting, weaning, handling pairs, dealing with sensitive or aggressive stock, loading and dealing with all handling issues common to producers. It also will include much more about the good things with traditional handling and what we have in addition today with a section on bison and grazing and soils that are remarkable accounts that we can use today to enhance, protect or restore our grazing lands. It will also have a number of other sections on stock dogs and grazing and stockmanship related issues.

Whit Hibbard a Montana Rancher who also teaches stockmanship. He has collected a lot of good information and put it on his stockmanship journal website. I suggest visiting the site and if you get only one item get his interview with Bud and Eunice Williams (we call it the Bud Bible). Its available for a small cost.

Susan and I are also producing DVD's that will cover: getting stock working for you, driving cattle, sorting, weaning, working stock in facilities and placing cattle for grazing lands management. Look soon for a greatly expanded book and DVD's that visualize what is written.
