Low Stress Blog: April 2010

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.

Grahame chats with Bill Croll

Every now and then you come across someone who has something to say that is worth listening to, Bill Croll works with his brother Murray of National Stockyards Systems as well as owning and managing several livestock enterprises.
Bill was telling me one of the most impactful 2 days of his life was attending a Bud Williams Stockhandling school in 2002 at Tamworth.

So I took the opportunity to have a chat with Bill when we were together recently filming the features of the National Stockyards Systems.We worked animals through various systems including a "Bud Pen", demonstrating Low Stress Stockhandling.

If video stop, starts press pause to let it load.
