 sure on cattle at a different angle and at varying amounts that helps move

 earning from cattlemen\, cowboys\, rodeo stock contractors\, sheep herders
 \, dairy farmers\, and auction market operators. After a lifetime spent on
  livestock operations\, he now travels the country leading live demonstrat
 ions and clinics\, passing along the practical\, low-stress handling metho
 ds he picked up from the great stockmen who came before him.‘Sometimes y
 ou cannot see pressure or understand its effects until it has created a pr
 oblem. When you force cattle to go into a pen\, they may get excited\, go 
 on the fight\, and become dangerous or very difficult to work. Negative pr
 essure creates stress\, positive pressure creates contentment\,’ Pate sa
 ys.During this clinic\, Curt will work cattle in real time and walk partic
 ipants through the fundamentals of low-stress stockmanship\, including:Gat
 hering\, sorting\, processing\, and loadingMoving cattle effectively on fo
 ot or horsebackReading animal behavior and using pressure and release to y
 our advantageLow-stress handling isn't just easier on the animals. It save
 s time\, reduces injuries to people and livestock\, and can improve weight
  gain and herd health. Whether you run a large operation or a handful of h
 ead\, you'll leave with practical tips you can put to work on your own pla
 ce right away.Cost: $40 per person\, burger lunch included\, beef featured
