On May 22-23, livestock industry legends Bud Williams,
Greg Judy, and Donnell Brown will share their knowledge and experience
at the “Seeds for Success” grazing conference here at
Eastern Oklahoma State College.
Bud Williams is highly sought after for his two-day seminars on low-stress
livestock handling, developed through decades of experience on ranches
all over the world. Williams will condense his main principles on
that topic, as well as his unique marketing approach, into a single
three-hour session covering both marketing and stockmanship.

Greg Judy will spend Saturday morning covering high stock density
grazing and his signature “no-risk ranching” approach.
Judy turned his family’s farm finances around by contract grazing
on rented acreage. On their farm near Rucker, Missouri, he and his
wife Jan currently raise cattle, sheep, horses, goats, pigs, and chickens
on grass pasture. They use no antibiotics, hormone implants, synthetic
fertilizers or herbicides, or grain. [

Donnell Brown will describe how to match cattle to the environment in
terms of both genetics and economics. Brown is the seedstock manager,
and also handles marketing, for R.A. Brown Ranch in Throckmorton, Texas.
