Stockmanship Manual by Steve Cote This is a book about a remarkable method of handling cattle on the range written for the benefit of the range rider. It doesn't explain a new method. It's a method that may be quite old but was developed and perfected in modern times. Low stress handling has implication for live stock health that is perhaps more powerful than the advent of modern veterinary medicine. It reduces stress, which can promote sickness and poor productivity in livestock. It also produces astounding control --- control that is far beyond what most ranchers believe cattle herds will do.
On-the-range experiences in solving livestock handling problems. Contains the basics of a method for creating: Herds that stay together, drive easily and stay mothered up. Cattle that can be sorted readily, even on rough range without facilities. Cattle that will want to stay where you put them for a day or more, without fences. Stock that will leave the location, water and return.
Riparian areas can thus be readily protected and enhanced, without fencing. To order click here
