Stockmanship Clinic

Join us in the second half of September 24-26th for a three-day immersive stockmanship workshop at Redwing Ranch in Gardner, Colorado. Led by seasoned livestock clinician and educator Dawn Hnatow, this workshop is built for anyone who wants to handle animals with confidence and skill.

Whether you're new to livestock or looking to refine your timing and communication, this experience offers hands-on learning rooted in the proven methods of Bud Williams stockmanship.

Participants will:

• Deepen their understanding of herd behavior and livestock instincts

• Practice using pressure, angles, and timing to move animals effectively

• Learn how stockmanship improves animal health and performance, grazing, and ranch profitability

• Work directly with Dawn in small-group sessions on foot in the corrals and in the pasture

• Eat nourishing meals prepared by a private chef and connect with others who care about good stockmanship

This workshop is limited to 9 participants. All meals and lodging included.
