Forage Based Program:

Resilient:

The search for outcross genetics elevates Powerstroke to the top of the list. Sired by an Effertz Key Ranch high seller, Keys Powermax 57G, and out of one of LT Tioga’s finest daughters, Powerstroke is better than different. His eye appeal, structure and temperament were just some of the traits that accelerated him to the top of his contemporary group. Strong growth, maternal

Leadership Development VitaFerm CharFocus Youth Conference

When I was growing up on our family’s ranch in southern Kansas, my Dad often took my siblings and me to field days and judging contests. He did not coach us or tell us how to place animals, he simply drove us to the events and told us to have fun. One day I asked my Dad why he felt it was important for us to participate in judging contests. He said, “It’s about leadership development.” At the time I didn’t understand what Dad meant. Why did we need to develop leadership skills and when would we have a chance to use them? It wasn’t long after we were attending a 4-H club meeting. My mother was one of our 4-H leaders, and she mentioned on the way to the meeting we would have officer elections that evening. Even though I do not have a singing voice, I was elected as the song leader. This was my first opportunity to serve in a leadership position. Through the next several years, I held numerous leadership positions in our 4-H club. In high school, I joined FFA and was elected to leadership positions at the chapter and district levels.

American-International Charolais Association. Through these positions, I have strived to develop leadership skills in college-age students and young adults. I firmly believe our country and our world need great leaders. I am a strong advocate for leadership development at all levels.

I was one of Kaitlyn Chism’s biggest supporters when she told me about her desire to start a leadership development program for our Charolais junior members, now known as VitaFerm CharFocus Youth Conference. While I couldn’t attend this year’s inaugural event in person, I was certainly there in spirit. I was thrilled to hear about the educational activities Galen and Lori Fink, along with Megan and Chad Larson coordinated at their ranch as part of the VitaFerm CharFocus and International Youth programs. Charolais youth from around the world benefited from Derek Thompson’s discussion about the end beef product at NextGen Cattle Company. The ropes course at Kansas’ Rock Springs Ranch received rave reviews

After graduating high school, I was elected Kansas State FFA Sentinel. During my freshman year in college, I had the honor of traveling across Kansas, meeting FFA members and speaking at chapter meetings. It was during this time I connected the dots and realized what my Dad was trying to convey to me in my formative years, when he talked about the importance of leadership development. Through junior high and high school, I had been developing leadership skills by serving in various offices in 4-H and FFA. Both organizations have a long history of developing leadership opportunities in youth. At the end of my term as a State FFA Officer, my confidence and competence as a leader had grown significantly from the boy who started as a song leader in my 4-H club.

After graduating from college and starting a family, I have held several leadership positions, including serving as a College Department Head at two Land-Grant universities and now in my current position as Executive Vice President of the

as did the educational talks delivered by industry leaders. My congratulations to Kaitlyn and members of the AIJCA Junior Board who planned, coordinated, and conducted a very successful CharFocus event this past July. If you participated in CharFocus, you know the impact it had on you as an individual. If you served as a volunteer leader or hosted a CharFocus program at your ranch, you witnessed leadership development firsthand. For those of you AIJCA members who were not able to participate in CharFocus this year, I encourage you to put it on your bucket list for next summer. If you are an adult AICA member, I challenge you to encourage a family member or an AIJCA member in your community to sign-up for VitaFerm CharFocus 2023. The location is yet to be determined, but I’m confident Kaitlyn and the AIJCA officers will find an exciting place to hold CharFocus next summer.

“If you participated in CharFocus, you know the impact it had on you as an individual. If you served as a volunteer leader or hosted a CharFocus program at your ranch, you witnessed leadership development firsthand.”

International Charolais Association

The AICA is the official registry for Charolais and Charbray cattle in the United States. Charolais cattle were first brought to the U.S. in 1936. In 1957, the American Charolais Breeders Association and the International Charolais Breeders Association merged forming the present AICA. Membership in the AICA is obtainable when the applicant has ownership in at least one animal, and has paid the initial membership fee of $125. AICA annual dues are $100.

AICA Seeking Assistant Recording Secretary/Data Coordinator

The Assistant Recording Secretary/Data Coordinator will work closely with the Recording Secretary in the registering and transferring of Charolais cattle. This position will also be responsible for coordinating genomic data submission from breeders and ensuring this data is received by the genomic lab at Neogen. Please send resumes to Recording Secretary, Maggie Smithee, msmithee@charolaisusa.com.

Fall AICA Board of Directors Meeting, October 19-20

The AICA Fall Board of Director and Committee Meetings will be held Wednesday, October 19 and Thursday, October 20 at the Kansas City Airport Marriott Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri. A complete schedule of meetings is on page 20.

Registration Fee Changes

Registration- all herdbooks 0-4 months $16 5-12 months $22 13-24 months $38

Over 24 Month $50

Whole Herd RewardsBefore April 1- $16 Between April 2- April 30- $22 After May 1- $36 Reactivation of Disposed Animals- $36

Export Your Data for Sale Catalogs

Under the “tools” tab, you will find a new “Data Export” button. This data export gives you the flexibility to export data on animals in your herd and use those data files in your own management packages. You can download and save the files directly to your computer in a CSV (can be opened in Excel) format. There are many options within this feature including selecting the type of animal to export and specific data.

Expedited Registration Work

If an animal needs to be registered with in a day or two a rush fee of $50 will be added to work. Once the animal is registered you can pull it up online to view the registration number. The new certificate will be mailed out the following day. We also offer FedEx mailing for additional $50. Non Members double the fee.

Performance Deadline Approaching

Performance data must be submitted to the AICA office by November 1 to be included in the December 2022 Genetic Analysis. Please make sure calf data, weights and weigh data have been submitted online or on forms to AICA.

ONLINE TIPS

Transfers cannot be done on-line if the paper has already been issued. The original paper must be returned to AICA. Animals registered on-line can be held in the system for transfer or print later. Many members find it helpful to hold all the newly registered animals in the system. No need to chase papers around.

When using a non-Charolais parent, follow the example given on the entry screen. For a non-Charolais female type FNF-XXXX, for a non-Charolais male type FNM-XXXX. You may also use breed codes to indicate the breed of the non-Charolais animal but be sure to use 4 digits (example: FNM-ANAN). We can add the pedigree of your other breed animal but need a copy of the pedigree 1st. The fee to add a pedigree is $20.

Be sure to click the “register” box and the “save” button at the bottom of the registration screen if you want the animal registered. The registration number will pop up in the middle of the screen or you’ll get an error message telling you what boxes you have missed.

I

dam the son of Mark and Angie Borg. I grew up on a family farm near the very small town of Concord, Nebraska. Right now I am a college student in my second year at Northeast Community College. I plan to graduate this Spring with a degree in Mechanized Agriculture.

Q: What do you want to accomplish as a board member of the AIJCA?

A: As a board member I want to help reach the Charolais breed out to other people who don’t come from a registered operation background. Growing up around a commercial cattle operation, becoming a part of the Charolais breed has made a huge difference for me. I have learned so many things that I wouldn’t have otherwise known, and I hope to make that possible for others.

Q: What is your favorite Junior National contest?

A: My favorite Junior National contest would have to be the team fitting contest. It is always exciting to see how good a team of people can be fitting and working together to prepare an animal for the ring.

Q:. Who was your favorite Charolais show heifer?

A: My favorite Charolais heifer would be Flora, aka Weinky. I bought her from Thomas’s and she was the first Charolais heifer that I ever owned. She continues to be my favorite because no matter how many times I check her on pasture, I always get excited about seeing her and the calf that she produces each year.

Q: Who inspired you to become a Junior Board Member?

A: Nick Hansen. He was the one who helped me find my first Charolais heifer, and he helped me with learning how to feed show heifers. He always talked about how he enjoyed his time on the board and what it did for him which inspired me to run for the junior board.

Q: What is your favorite memory from “CharCation”?

A: My favorite memory from Char-Cation would have to be getting the honor to be elected onto the junior board while the Charolais Junior Nationals was in my home state.

Q:. Where was your first Charolais Junior National?

A: My first Junior National was in Brooking in 2020. In total I have been to two Charolais Junior Nationals.

Q:. What are you planning on doing after you graduate college?

A: After I graduate college, I plan on returning back home. I will find a job in the Agriculture world, and I will start working in the family operation at some point.

Q:. Which fall cattle show is your favorite?

A: Nebraska State Fair by a mile!

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: Outside of the Charolais industry, my main hobby would be watching college football or NFL games.

Q: If you could be any person in the world for a day, who would you be?

A: If I could be any person, I would be Elon Musk. I would choose him because it would be cool to see the inside scoop operations on a multi-billion dollar company. Plus, by the time the day was over I’d be rich enough to retire already.

Whenever I sit down to make a catalog for an elite set of females, there is always a moment where I think which one best sets the tone and feel for the sale? That was a very short moment for this catalog. BC Clarice 1601 P is perhaps one of the most interesting females I have had the pleasure of seeing this year. You can have a lot of discussions about what makes the ideal female but this one hits as close to the mark as you can get. Long spined, elegant fronted, soft middled, and powerful, she has a presence in the pasture that you can’t deny. Sired by one of the high selling lots in the 2014 Wright Charolais Sale, WC Over Time and out of a J139 daughter by Ledger, Clarice 1601 has a pedigree of the highest caliber. Besides a stellar personal phenotype, 1601 manages to pass that look and grace on to her heifer calves as well as performance and power to her sons. Look at her progeny, her picture and video. This is the kind of female that will enhance any program she goes into. The Johansen family wanted to offer their very best and they hit it out of the park! Selling 2/3 interest.

There are a lot of adjectives that can be used to describe RF Ms Makin Smoke 641, but the one that jumps out to me is ideal. She exhibits so many of the traits that go into making the ideal female: long, angular, powerful, and feminine. Phenotypically she checks all the boxes and then some. She doesn’t stop with just looks but excels in the numbers game as well ranking top 3% MTL and REA, 4% YW, 6% TSI and Milk, and 9% WW. Her son by Outsider, Burnout 130, is quickly making a name for himself on his way to the National Show, winning the 2022 Missouri State Fair and Supreme at Ozark Empire Fair. This proven donor’s heifers have also achieved accolades ranking in the top 10 show females of the year in 2020 and have averaged $7,000 whenever they’ve been sold.

LT Brenda 2184 needs no introduction as she has quickly became one of the most recognized and sought after females in the breed. She has consistently produced the caliber of progeny desired by astute cattlemen the world over. 2184’s first foray into the spotlight saw her as the feature lot in the National Sale where one-half interest sold for $29,000. Since then 13 sons sold at auction and have averaged over $13,000 with her 14th selling this spring for $36,000. In the 2020 Satterfield Female Sale a 1/2 interest yearling heifer, SAT Brenda 9307 ET, a daughter by LT Affinity, sold for $13,000 to Rathmourne Charolais and during the Grand Hills Dispersal, 2184’s dam LT Brenda 8034 Pld sells for $50,000 at 12 years of age to J&J Trust.

UPDATED OFFERING! This will be your first opportunity at a mating option to LT Brenda 3357 Pld OR LT Madalynn 6108 Pld, who both sold for $31,000 one-half interest each at the 42nd National Charolais Sale. Brenda 3357 has been regarded as one of the greatest Blue Value daughters from the famed LT Ranch and whose dam is none other than LT Brenda 6120 Pld, the dam of the $105,000 LT Ledger, the $50,000 LT Brenda 8034, and granddam of LT Brenda 2184! LT Brenda 3357 is also the dam of the EPD giant LT Inception 7456 Pld ET who was the third high-selling bull during the 2018 LT Bull Sale at $36,000 for two-thirds interest.

Your next donor option is LT Madalynn 6108 Pld, better known as the dam of the $105,000 high-selling bull from the 2020 LT Bull Sale, LT Badge 9184 Pld. Badge 9184 has caught the attention of the breed for his ability to sire high performing seedstock that have impressive look. An exceptional daughter of LT Patriot, 6108 is just starting to make her mark on the breed and show her full potential. But now to the decision — a mating of the $110,000 outcross performance specialist Elder’s Houlio 4H to the exquisite LT Madalynn 6108 or the $130,000 LT Justified 1528 who was the 2nd high seller at this year’s LT Bull Sale to the proven producer LT Brenda 3357? Visit the ranch to make your selection once calves have hit the ground March 2023. Choose wisely but know either mating will yield a home run!

DC/CRJ Tank E108 is one of the few bulls that have seen use coast to coast on all levels of production with such an outcross pedigree to the mainstream, all the while maintaining an excellent EPD and performance profile. But what happens when you use a bull of that caliber in an elite small herd managed for longevity, production, and doability? You get heifers like these from Chateau Cattle Company. Jim has always been a proponent of carcass and terminal merit blended with femininity and maternal prowess, and these two Tank daughters do just that. Both these brood cow prospects stem from the same Wooden Cross Cattle Company 5554 cow family that was Jim’s pick of the herd when she was just a bred heifer. Layer in your choice of Patriot or Doc Silver and you have two very similar yet individual females to choose from. Both are bred AI to LT Countdown 9712 and confirmed safe via ultrasound.

A daughter of the Greta cow family made famous by Ridder Farms, 0006 is shaping up to be the founding cornerstone of a new generation of those great females.

With so many champions in her family line such as Greta 96Z and Greta 7022, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the cow power side of the equation alone, but let’s look at the sire too.

UM CATTLE COURSE BECOMING A REALITY

by Sean Clougherty Courtesy of the Delmarva Farmer

When the trailer door opened in June and three white heifers slowly stepped off into a field at their new home at the University of Maryland’s Central Maryland Research and Education Center, they brought a new hands-on course for students one step closer to reality.

The Charolais heifers joined three Wye Angus-Holstein cross-bred heifers that came from an earlier research project to make up the start of a new Beef Management/ Calf Watch class in the university’s Department of Animal and Avian Sciences, set to debut for the Fall 2023 semester.

The herd will also be used for hands-on Extension workshops and training for beef producers, according to Racheal Slattery, the department’s beef and dairy coordinator, who is leading the project. An open house for the newly-established herd was held on July 28 at the research farm.

The new course will give students hands-on experience with cattle and train them to help producers, particularly with spring calving, Slattery said.

The class is modeled after another class in the department, Sheep Management/Lamb Watch, which has become very popular with students.

Starting a herd with hands-on capabilities for students and producers has been a goal of Slattery’s since coming to the university six years ago.

“I’ve been wanting to develop this course for quite a long time because it’s been missing in the Animal Science department,” Slattery said.

But before the cows could arrive, Slattery and staff at the research farm worked since the beginning of the year to tear out old horse wire fencing, clear brush and debris and install new fencing for a rotational grazing system.

The herd occupies land at the farm that has too much slope to safely raise field crops.

The center is also working with USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service technicians to revive a gravity-fed watering station for the animals in a remote part of the pasture.

The Charolais heifers were born in October of 2021, and are a gift to the Department of Animal and Avian Sciences from Robert and Judy Tibbs of Shadow Springs Farm in Harford County, Md.

The Tibbses are well-known for breeding quality animals with good temperament a hallmark of their herd and have a long history of helping youth learn through animal projects.

“I am very thankful to Shadow Springs Farm for their very generous gift,” Slattery said. “I absolutely cannot wait for class to start. I know the students are going to really enjoy working with them.”

In 2023, the heifers will be brought to the campus farm

at end of their pregnancies, and through the month of October, students will keep a round-the-clock watch to ensure healthy births.

Slattery said on-campus lessons will focus on obstetrics, facility design for calving and developing feed rations for the mothers and calves.

The class will also work with the herd at the Clarksville site with lessons focusing on facility design for rotational grazing, animal care and safe handling practices.”

Obituary

Carl Speight, 83 of Dadeville passed away on September 2, 2022 in the Dade County Nursing Home. He was born in Dadeville, MO on September 29, 1938 to Clinton and Lavonda (Hayward) Speight.

Carl was raised on the family farm and from a young age took an active role in the day to day operations. Carl graduated from Dadeville High School in 1956. He attended college in Rolla, Missouri for two years before making the decision to return to Dadeville to pursue his true passion of farming.

On March 17, 1972 Carl married Loretta Potts and together they worked to expand the farming operation. Over the years they transitioned to a purebred Charolais herd and sold breeding stock for over 35 years. Carl took great pride in the quality cattle he raised.

Carl was active in community affairs and a big supporter of the Dadeville School. He was a member of the Dadeville United Methodist Church, American International Charolais Association, the Grand Masonic Lodge, as well as Abou Ben Adhem Shriners.

Carl was preceded in death by his wife Loretta, his parents Clinton and Lavonda Speight and his sister Ella Mae Vanhooser. He is survived by his brother Dennis and wife Ann of Stafford, VA; Brother-in-law Billy Vanhooser of Dadeville; nephews and nieces, Darrel Vanhooser and wife Rene, Debbie Worthington and husband Randy, Brad Vanhooser and wife Susan, Megan Vogel and husband Scott, Paula Crouch and Kyle Speight and wife Shannon; great nephews and nieces, Josh and Corry Worthington, Darris and Marsha Vanhooser, Nicole Vanhooser, Brian and Sarah Worthington, Dalton and Sandra Vanhooser, Ben and Audra Vanhooser, Andrew and Julie Vanhooser, Peyton Crouch, Caleb Crouch and Sebastian Vogel.

2022 Livestock Marketeers Hall of Fame Induction

The Livestock Marketeers held their 57th Annual Hall of Fame banquet in Kansas City, Mo on June 14th, 2022. This year’s inductees were Henry Stockdale, Columbia, Tn (posthumous), John Meents, Jenera, Oh and Greg Hubert, Oakley, Ks. The host for this year’s event was the American Hereford Association and Certified Hereford Beef. The Livestock Marketeers is a formal group of livestock marketing professionals from across the nation whose purpose is to promote and honor those who are dedicated to the livestock marketing industry.

Henry Stockdale operated a livestock transportation business located in Columbia, Tennessee. Many of the leading purebred seedstock operations in the nation trusted Henry to relocate and care for their cattle while in transport. John Meents served as a field representative from 1978 until his retirement in 2021. He served as a road agent for organizations such as: The American Yorkshire Club & Yorkshire Journal, The Drovers Journal, The American Polled Hereford Association & Polled Hereford World and The American Hereford Association and Hereford World. Greg Hubert and his wife Brenda own and operate Hubert Cattle Sales, a Charolais sale management firm based in their hometown of Oakley, Kansas. Greg began his career in sale management in 1986. To date he has managed 817 auctions and marketed 56,379 head of registered cattle.

LOW STRESS STOCKMANSHIP MAKES CATTLE HANDLING EASIER AND SAFER

Now and then someone comes along with ideas or observations that change the way people do things, and sometimes even change the face of an industry. Bud Williams was one of those people, and his unique methods of handling cattle are now being adopted by many folks in the cattle industry. These methods are not only easier on the animals and people handling them, but also saves/makes money for the producer because reducing stress on cattle helps decrease illness and shrink and increases performance.

Bud died in 2012, but his family and students continue to put on schools and clinics. Whit Hibbard—a 4th generation cattle and sheep rancher whose family owns Sieben Cattle in north central Montana near Cascade— now travels the world putting on cattle handling clinics to teach the basics of stockmanship. He uses Power Points with many short videos, focused on the fundamentals of low-stress livestock handling.

“I make it very clear that this term is synonymous with Bud Williams. Bud developed the methods, and Allan Nation (who edited and published The Stockman Grass Farmer until his death a few years ago) coined the term,” says Hibbard.

Bud never liked that term, however. Most people don’t fully understand what low stress should be, and their perception is usually wrong. “Many folks immediately jump to the conclusion that it means not putting any pressure on cattle. They equate low stress with no stress, but that doesn’t work. Bud astounded a lot of people by how much pressure he put on animals, if the situation called for it. He put on whatever pressure was necessary, and it might be a lot, but it was proper pressure. It was at the right angle, the right amount, the right timing, the right release. He clearly conveyed to the animals what he wanted, and then it was over—and that’s what made it low stress,” Hibbard said.

Cattle react to human actions. Every time we handle cattle we are positively or negatively setting the stage for how they’ll react to handling in the future. They have excellent memories; a negative experience can have lasting repercussions. Low-stress handling strategy has ramifications far beyond understanding the philosophy involved. Calm, relaxed cattle are more productive. Stressed cattle are less productive and can also be a

danger to themselves and their handlers. Improper handling also opens the door to adverse public opinion regarding food animal production, and plays into the hands of special interests such as animal rights groups. Adopting low-stress handling techniques is a win-win for the cattle, the handlers, and the beef industry in general.

To understand how these methods work, it helps if a person can see someone doing it correctly. One misconception people have about low-stress handling is that they think it takes too much time, but the opposite is true if done properly. It saves a lot of time and is better for the animals and the people.

The whole purpose is efficiency and getting the job done as quickly as possible without stress on the animals. “If you do it properly you are not making all the mistakes conventional handlers do; they get the cattle upset, uncooperative and resistant, wanting to go back, losing their trust. Then a person has to try to fix those mistakes, which takes more time,” Hibbard said.

“Our clinic focuses on what I call the fundamentals and on proper mindset and attitude, and the importance of working with our animals and preparing them for future production events,” Hibbard explains.

Most people would never try to take an untrained horse out to work cattle, or a young, inexperienced stock dog. They give those animals some training first before they have to do the job. It should be the same principle with cattle.

“There are 12 basic principles that are inherent in Bud’s methods, and 10 techniques, so at the clinic we go over those, with a lot of supportive videos. These are very short, averaging about 15 seconds in length. During the course of a clinic, people see at least 100 videos, so they can see what we are talking about. We illustrate all of it. For a one-day clinic, this takes all morning,” he says.

“In the afternoon we focus on practical applications-typical production events--such as how to properly drive cattle in general, and how to drive cows and calves. We spend a lot of time talking about corral work and everything involved—such as emptying pens, alleyways, and sorting—how to use whatever crowd pen you have, whether it’s a wedge, tub, or Bud Box. We talk about how to work a lead-up, how to work a squeeze chute, properly, scale loading, and loading a trailer or semi. We address

Adopting low-stress handling techniques is a win-win for the cattle, the handlers, and the beef industry in general.

specialty topics if there is time—which usually only happens in a two-day clinic,” Hibbard explains.

These topics include fence-line weaning, riding for health, range management, and sometimes other special topics, depending on the people attending. These topics might include pasture doctoring, low-stress bison handling, predation mitigation, feedlot animal health, receiving and destressing cattle, working with wild and feral animals.

These techniques are safer for the animals and the people handling them and also saves/makes money for the rancher. “For instance, it just blows people’s minds on the amount of shrink that we cause when we handle our animals improperly. For example, at our stocker operation in Montana, we now save about $38,000 in shrink every time we load out 500 yearlings.”

USING A BUD BOX

The Bud Box is named after Bud Williams who for many years promoted the concept of using a box-shaped set of gates when loading cattle onto trucks or into a processing chute. This simple design allows a stockperson to take advantage of many of the natural behavioral tendencies of cattle. The Bud Box is typically about 14 feet wide, and 20 to 30 feet long. Cattle enter the box and a gate is closed when they are all inside it. The gate should latch near the exit lane. The exit lane is one animal wide.

The Bud Box facilitates low-stress handling because we can take advantage of some natural tendencies. Cattle tend to follow other cattle, and also tend to exit a pen at the same point they entered. They always want to turn around to go out the way they came. If you keep pushing cattle straight ahead and try to work then through gates or openings ahead of them, they balk or want to turn around. You can’t push cattle to sort them. It has to be their idea, and a good facility takes advantage of the natural inclination of cattle to turn around and exit the corral the way they came from.

They also respond when they can easily see what is pressuring them. When a cow is brought into the Bud Box, she must stop when she reaches the end of the box. As she is reaching the end of it, you have entered the Bud Box and closed the gate. At this point you are standing in front of the exit lane. When the cow reaches the end of the box, her tendency will be to turn back and leave the box at the same point she entered. When the cow has turned, she will be facing you. When you are positioned properly in front of the exit, the cow will easily see the exit.

You then apply pressure to a cow by position and by your timing, angle, and speed of encroachment toward the cow. You can increase pressure by taking some steps toward the cow. As pressure on the cow increases due to your approach, she will have a strong tendency to release this pressure by moving past you and into the exit from the box. When she moves toward the exit, you continue to walk past the cow. From this position she can easily keep an eye on you as she feels your pressure, and also see the opening which allows for release of that pressure. The cow is moving in an arc around you and you are working inside a circle relative to the cow. Working inside the circle is a good stockmanship technique because it allows the cow to always see your position and watch your movements. The design of the Bud Box assists in putting the cow and the person in correct position relative to each other and to the exit from the pen.

When more than one cow is brought into a Bud Box the movement and position of the person is the same. With multiple cattle, you have the additional benefit that cows tend to follow other cows. The key when working with multiple cows in a Bud Box is to pressure properly to get the first cow moving toward the exit. When she starts to move toward the exit, do not make any movements that stop her from moving forward. If you walk parallel with a cow you tend to slow her down, so do not walk with the cow. Stay inside the curve created by the cows’ movement toward the exit.

Patience is required to work with cattle. You must allow a little time for them to understand the process. It is counterproductive to force cows out of a Bud Box, but safe and efficient to allow them to initiate their movement out of the box.

Two things prompt cows to move into and out of a Bud Box: technique and stimulus. Proper technique involves your position in the Bud Box and the stimulus is the timing, angle, and speed of your movement within the box. The box design helps guide your position, and allows you to precisely control the level of stimulus for movement. Each time cattle are worked properly, they learn what to do and become calmer, and easier to work the next time. They learn calm handling if handled calmly.
