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.

Warrawagine - Port Hedland WA




Who would have thought after travelling to the other end of Australia to Port Hedland and then 3 hours east towards the Gibson desert you would find a Scotsman ? Bill's wife Sophie is the station cook at "Warawagine"(a good one too), Bill being her offsider.


Robin and Lyle Mills hosted me to run a LSS school on their station "Warrawagine" Port Hedland.
They run their large cattle station ( 1 million acres) with their son Geoff and his family. A very impressive setup so it was a real privilege to be asked to run a LSS school using their facilities.

Robin has had an invasion of New Zealanders for mustering this year and along with his son Scott's New Zealand crew, I spent 2 days helping them to understand how use the LSS methods.
Ann Coppin from next door also brought along her new staff.
Even though going from 8 deg in Bathurst to a 40 deg day at the school, I really enjoyed my time with the Mills family and their staff.
