Stockmanship TRAINING and Robot Start up consulting

Facilitating and hosting various stockmanship schools, marketing schools and cattle handling education. For many of these schools we partner with our mentors and many others that follow the Bud Williams stockmanship principles.

Our schools are on the approved list for the ASK (Agricultural Skills and Knowledge) program the Government of Saskatchewan offers a 50% rebate on if you qualify for their eligibility requirements. You can view more information on the program here.

Barn design / Robot Barn Set ups

While Paul started getting asked to go out to more and more farms (both Dairy and Beef) for stockmanship and while doing training he started to see major challenges in how barns/handling facilities were laid out. In short - they are either cow flow friendly or not. From starting to make suggestions while working animals, it grew into more requests to draw out proper flow facilities.

Robot start ups are known to be challenging. We can even speak from experience from our own start up 7 years ago prior to our Bud Williams stockmanship knowledge. Paul is hired to go out to many robot start ups and now is asked to draw plans for new barns or retrofits that help make these barns work better upon start up and continual heifer training.

If you are thinking of updating your current system or preparing for a new facility, please feel free to reach out to ask questions and we would be happy to put you in touch with owners of farms we have worked with. Starting up a robot barn should be a positive experience despite the long hours you put in. Getting it right from the start means your giving your cattle the best chance to adapt and for you to enjoy being a stockman - which we hope for most of you is why you continue to work with livestock.
