Modern Stockmanship works with cattle businesses, organisations and industry groups across Australia and internationally.

This includes individual producers, feedlots, live export, corporate agricultural businesses, importers of Australian livestock, livestock shipping companies, agricultural schools and training organisations, breed societies and other industry organisations.

Whether you’re looking to develop livestock handling skills, review existing practices or facilities, or improve handling outcomes across your operation, the work can be tailored to your people, cattle and operating environment.

A livestock handling system is the combination of people, livestock, facilities, procedures, culture, training and workplace standards that determine how livestock are handled within a business.

When intentionally designed, it provides a consistent framework for developing staff capability, improving animal welfare, supporting workplace safety, creating operational efficiency and repeatable handling practices across the operation.

Modern Stockmanship is based in Geraldton, Western Australia, and available to travel throughout Australia and internationally.

Interstate and overseas work is welcomed, including projects with livestock businesses, importers, shipping companies and industry organisations.

Travel requirements can be discussed as part of your initial enquiry.

Every project is different, so pricing depends on the scope of work, location, number of participants and time required.

Get in touch to discuss what you need and I can a recommend ballpark estimate of the price.

A consultation starts with a conversation to understand your operation, the challenges you’re experiencing and what you’d like to improve.

We’ll discuss your concerns, priorities and the options available to you.

Where appropriate, I’ll then visit your operation to observe livestock handling, facilities and work practices firsthand. From there, I can identify opportunities for improvement and recommend a practical plan tailored to your business, people and livestock.

Absolutely. The key is to work with you, your facilities, your people and your animals to create a solution that works for you. Each business is unique and I tailor my approach to fit the situation.

Yes. The training we offer accommodates learners of all styles so that each person is able to walk away and implement what they’ve learned immediately.
