Stockmanship and Stewardship Cattle Handling Clinics
The Horse Whisper movement that eventually evolved into natural horsemanship techniques changed forever how the typical horse in America is handled. In it’s wake and well supported by the Beef industry comes low stress cattle handling and the clinician paving the way is Montana cowboy Curt Pate. Stay tuned after the break. Renowned horseman/stockman Curte Pate is on a mission to change how cattle in the U.S. are handled. Using live cattle –handling demonstrations at clinics throughout the country he teaches the best methods on how to doctor, gather or sort cattle that minimizes animal stress, saves time plus horse power and enhances cattle productivity. Pate also believes that consumers need to be reassured American cattle are humanly handled in order to increase consumer confidence in beef. The Idaho Beef Quality Assurance program is bringing Pate's Stockmanship and Stewardship Cattle Handling Seminar to the Northwest for four days through April 13th and 16th . The sessions last from 4:00 to 8:00 and will be held in Lewiston, Homedale, Twin Falls and Blackfoot. The clinic will cover both ground work techniques to use when handling cattle in pens and alleys, then move to doctoring and conclude with ways to properly work cattle horse back. The best part is that it’s all free courtesy of University of Idaho Extension and if you call and register you’ll get a meal as well.
