Hand 'n Hand Livestock Solutions Teaching Bud Williams "Proper Stockmanship" and "Livestock Marketing" across North America. Have you heard about "Stockmanship" and wondered just what it was?

Join the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/properlivestockstockmanshipandmarketing Have you read something about Bud Williams or others who teach stockmanship and thought you might like to learn more? Would you like to learn marketing techniques based on today's price rather than a crystal ball? If so, this web page has many resources to help you. Good stockmanship is more than just h

aving "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. with the results of lowered stress for you and the livestock. 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. Bud Williams developed marketing techniques which are based on today's price and simple math to assist you to make decisions about what to sell and what to buy. We continue to teach and explain his techniques. Attend a school, and learn how good stockmanship can make all your livestock handling experiences more enjoyable and how these marketing techniques can make your ranch more profitable.

Nebraska School
We had a great time in Nebraska at the end of July and beginning of August consulting on a large ranch and then teaching a 4-day Marketing and Stockmanship school in Sidney, NE. See photos from the school here: https://handnhandlivestocksolutions.com/archives/13993​

Introducing Nick and Cassie!
During the Sidney school, Nick and Cassie Easterly taught some of the Stockmanship school, and they are going to begin teaching Stockmanship schools to continue spreading the word of Bud Williams Proper Stockmanship. They will be teaching the Stockmanship portion of our 3-day school coming up March 2-4, 2026 to give them more experience! Registration will open soon for that school.

Price Increase
Beginning with our January online Livestock Marketing course, we will be increasing our prices for both in-person schools and online courses. We will continue offering price savings for registering at least a month before the school or course begins!

Questions about Cows Bawling at the Gate
Many of the people taking our online and in-person Stockmanship courses mention they have a lot of trouble with cattle bawling at the gate before moves, rushing the gate, and/or leaving their calves behind in moves. We teach a lot about this, and you might want to read what Dad said about it here: https://stockmanship.com/?p=511​

Enjoy the remains of the summer!
