On Thursday and Friday the boys and I attended the Bud Williams Stockmanship School in Bowie, Texas. There were dairymen from Holland and Mexico. Cattlemen from Nevada, Arkansas, South Carolina and of course three good hands from Oklahoma. One dude was from Canada. It was fun to see the differences in attire. One Nevada cowboy sported a waxed mustache that stuck straight out to the side. Some chick from somewhere sported her cowboy duds, I'm sorry, I think one should dress up a bit when traveling...leave your cow lot boots at home and wear something nice. The cowboys (and I mean boys--they were 20) from a NW Texas ranch were dressed nicely, they had good manners, they took their hats off to eat.....those little Oklahoma cowboys took their hats off when the walked in the building. A Senator from Arkansas was there, you could spot him a mile away. It was an interesting mix. It was very informative, if you are in production agriculture you need to attend--it is absolutely worth the cost.
Reducing your death loss and increasing your production are added benefits.
