Seeds for Success Grazing Conference


May 22 - 23, 2009

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. [ READ MORE ]

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.
