Low Stress Blog: March 2008

Welcome to my Low Stress Blog

Welcome to my blog, my name is Grahame Rees and I have created this blog to share with you a little about Low Stress Stockhandling and the great people I meet and the places I visit. After meeting Bud and Eunice Williams in 1999,I realised there was a better way to handle animals.Bud showed if we handled animals better we would have animals that would produce more, work better for us, and make more profit.As a side benefit people work better as a team and enjoy thier work better.
In 2002 I met Jim Lindsay and joined with him to share Low Stress Stockhandling with the 2 day Stockhandling school.
Over 1600 people have attended my LSS schools right across Australia.
In 2003 I travelled to the USA to Spokane to learn Bud's Marketing techniques and find out how they would apply in Australia.During the time with Bud & Eunice, Rod and I wrote what is the basis of the KLR Marketing school we present across Australia today.
To find out more about Low Stres Stockhandling or KLR Marketing visit the links at the bottom of this page.

I like share a little about my travels an the people I meet.
Feel free to leave a comment about how LSS has helped you.

WA Trip to Hyden & Brookton

I spent last week travelling and running 2 LSS schools in Hyden and Brookton WA.
Hyden is where the famous Wave Rock is, so I called in and took a couple of photos.
At Hyden we worked sheep at Tom & Donna Lynch's farm before working cattle at Trevor Hink's feedlot.Stumpy won the cap after his fine turns with the sheep.
Then it was up to Brookton to Dougal Young & Ashe Briscoe's farm for the 2nd school with sheep.We had Domonique Blache and Alina from UWA, Dom being a specialist scientist in animal behaviour.Alina has had very little experience with stock but she impressed everyone with her skills and won the LSS cap.
Thanks to everyone who hosted me and made me welcome.
