Animals Behaving At Their Best
Stress Free Stockmanship
Self Herding
1
A change for the better
Let’s take a walk on the mild side...... and get to some gold
Stress Free Stockmanship 2
Animals Can Change
• They can:
Change what they eat
Change where they go
Change how long they do it
We can be an active part of that.
We can change them to help the ecology and us.
Stress Free Stockmanship 3
Some guidance from the
leading
Animal Behaviouralist of our
time
• Gary Larsen of course!
Stress Free Stockmanship 4
Labels for me….
Stress Free Stockmanship 5
Husband, Father, 4th Generation Family Farmer
Cell grazer, holistic manager, No Kill Cropper, tree grower,
shrub grower, Alley cropper, Carbon Farmer, Stress Free
Stockmanship instructor, Self Herding instructor and farming
systems analyst.
Where we live
• Our farm called “Willydah”-
3700acres in central New
South Wales.
• We grow Sheep, cattle,
shrubs and trees.
• We have reinstated the
ecological functions on our
farm.
Stress Free Stockmanship 6
We practice what we preach…
Stress Free Stockmanship 7
• We have rebuilt the 3
landscape layers and
planted in patterns
inspired by Permaculture.
A Comparison of animal handling skills
• You Americans are very good!!
Stress Free Stockmanship 8
You are a bunch of predators!
• Humans can’t
stop being
humans- your
predatorial
instincts are
born into you!
Stress Free Stockmanship 9
Animals will go into difficult places- willingly
• As long as you
actively de-stress
them
Stress Free Stockmanship 10
We can let animals eat weeds
• LET- not get or make them eat weeds!
• If you make them eat something they may reject it forever.
Stress Free Stockmanship 11
Weed Eating
Stress Free Stockmanship 12
• You can expand their
dietary choices.
• BUT we must do it by
choice not by force.
Examples of Livestock eating problem plants
• Cattle and sheep eating tussocks and thistles.
Stress Free Stockmanship 13
How did we let the animals become weed eaters?
• Active De-stressing, getting them to the point where they
had little anxiety then allowed them to experiment in
company with many others with a new food.
Stress Free Stockmanship 14
Culture drives preferences
Stress Free Stockmanship 15
We can let them Self Herd- Rangeland Self Herding
Stress Free Stockmanship 16
• This is being pioneered in Western Australia on large Cattle
and Sheep Stations- 350,000 acres to 2.3 million acres.
• We are doing this with Behavioural principles.
7 RSH principles
Human-animal interactions – shape outcomes
Internal feedback – sets behaviours
Experience – reinforces behaviours
Diet diversity – animals seek it
Adaptability – required for change
Individuals and groups – influence each other
Broad consequences – everything is connected
RSH Elements
• Using new
approaches
and some
new parts we
achieve
results that
magnify the
elements.

Super Jackpots Louvre Fences Lime/Gypsum
Spreader Fences Molasses
Teaser Triangles Grains
Pellets
Chaff, hay
By using various attractants…….
Cued to Visual, Audio and physical signals
We can achieve a huge number of formerly
impossible things……
• Relocation retentions (letting animals stay in a new place)
• Managed migrations (moving groups of animals across the landscape)
• Diversions (directing animals away from sensitive areas)
• Adaptations (ensuring animals adapt quickly to new surroundings)
• Discovery (finding the presence of animals in the landscape-ie predators)
• Rehabilitation (concentrating or dispersing animal impact for change of state)
• Woody plant encroachments (allowing animals to increase consumption)

New water point
Aimed to retain cattle in this
area of unburnt country
Cattle collected from various
parts of the property and
relocated to new water point

We can provide cues for
the animals we manage
so that they choose the
result that we want.
RSH

Global Grasslands can shape the globe
Stress Free Stockmanship

“It set a new record for a land-based carbon sink since high-resolution
records began in 1958, in a remarkable example of ecosystems working
to stabilise the Earth’s climate.
And that had a global impact. While atmospheric carbon dioxide still rose
in 2011, it grew at a much lower rate – nearly 20% lower – than the
average growth over the previous decade.
Almost 60% of the higher than normal carbon uptake that year, or 840m
tonnes, happened in Australia. That was due to a combination of factors,
including geography and a run of very dry years, followed by record-
breaking rains in 2010-11.”
- Nature Journal, May 2014
What we do with our animals affects the
storage and emissions of the whole world.
The big ideas
• By changing your animals
behaviour you expand their range
of area and diet.
• That changes their epigenetics
which allows them to further
expand their options and learn
from mum and their peers.
Stress Free Stockmanship 37
The Big Ideas
• We can further cue them to explore
even more widely.
• This increases their adaptability and
lessens their impact across the
environment. This changes the whole
globe.
• You guide all of these by changing our
human behaviour.
Stress Free Stockmanship 38
As you go…
Enjoy PV2 and behave yourselves!!

Stockmanship - Animals Behaving At Their Best - Presented by Bruce Maynard

  • 1. Animals Behaving At Their Best Stress Free Stockmanship Self Herding 1
  • 2. A change for the better Let’s take a walk on the mild side...... and get to some gold Stress Free Stockmanship 2
  • 3. Animals Can Change • They can: Change what they eat Change where they go Change how long they do it We can be an active part of that. We can change them to help the ecology and us. Stress Free Stockmanship 3
  • 4. Some guidance from the leading Animal Behaviouralist of our time • Gary Larsen of course! Stress Free Stockmanship 4
  • 5. Labels for me…. Stress Free Stockmanship 5 Husband, Father, 4th Generation Family Farmer Cell grazer, holistic manager, No Kill Cropper, tree grower, shrub grower, Alley cropper, Carbon Farmer, Stress Free Stockmanship instructor, Self Herding instructor and farming systems analyst.
  • 6. Where we live • Our farm called “Willydah”- 3700acres in central New South Wales. • We grow Sheep, cattle, shrubs and trees. • We have reinstated the ecological functions on our farm. Stress Free Stockmanship 6
  • 7. We practice what we preach… Stress Free Stockmanship 7 • We have rebuilt the 3 landscape layers and planted in patterns inspired by Permaculture.
  • 8. A Comparison of animal handling skills • You Americans are very good!! Stress Free Stockmanship 8
  • 9. You are a bunch of predators! • Humans can’t stop being humans- your predatorial instincts are born into you! Stress Free Stockmanship 9
  • 10. Animals will go into difficult places- willingly • As long as you actively de-stress them Stress Free Stockmanship 10
  • 11. We can let animals eat weeds • LET- not get or make them eat weeds! • If you make them eat something they may reject it forever. Stress Free Stockmanship 11
  • 12. Weed Eating Stress Free Stockmanship 12 • You can expand their dietary choices. • BUT we must do it by choice not by force.
  • 13. Examples of Livestock eating problem plants • Cattle and sheep eating tussocks and thistles. Stress Free Stockmanship 13
  • 14. How did we let the animals become weed eaters? • Active De-stressing, getting them to the point where they had little anxiety then allowed them to experiment in company with many others with a new food. Stress Free Stockmanship 14
  • 15. Culture drives preferences Stress Free Stockmanship 15
  • 16. We can let them Self Herd- Rangeland Self Herding Stress Free Stockmanship 16 • This is being pioneered in Western Australia on large Cattle and Sheep Stations- 350,000 acres to 2.3 million acres. • We are doing this with Behavioural principles.
  • 17. 7 RSH principles Human-animal interactions – shape outcomes Internal feedback – sets behaviours Experience – reinforces behaviours Diet diversity – animals seek it Adaptability – required for change Individuals and groups – influence each other Broad consequences – everything is connected
  • 18. RSH Elements • Using new approaches and some new parts we achieve results that magnify the elements. Stress Free Stockmanship 18 Approaches Methods Cues Ingredients Jigsaw Circuits Atttractant Hopping Attractant Coathanger Salt Rangeland Rotations Attractant Leapfrogging Attractant Clothesline Bruce’s Brew Skimmer Boxes Whistle Mineral licks Guidance Fences Attractant troughs Loose LIck Jackpots Mobile lick feeders Lick blocks Super Jackpots Louvre Fences Lime/Gypsum Spreader Fences Molasses Teaser Triangles Grains Pellets Chaff, hay
  • 19. By using various attractants…….
  • 20. Cued to Visual, Audio and physical signals
  • 21. We can achieve a huge number of formerly impossible things…… • Relocation retentions (letting animals stay in a new place) • Managed migrations (moving groups of animals across the landscape) • Diversions (directing animals away from sensitive areas) • Adaptations (ensuring animals adapt quickly to new surroundings) • Discovery (finding the presence of animals in the landscape-ie predators) • Rehabilitation (concentrating or dispersing animal impact for change of state) • Woody plant encroachments (allowing animals to increase consumption) Stress Free Stockmanship 21
  • 22. New water point Aimed to retain cattle in this area of unburnt country Cattle collected from various parts of the property and relocated to new water point An example of relocating and retaining cattle in an unburnt area after a large fire
  • 24. Animals using a new area- trap yards
  • 29. Low use spinifex (Pindan) area High utilisation areaStages of RSS 1 2 etc.
  • 32. Collar 2 Oct – red Nov – yellow Dec – green Jan – blue Feb – purple
  • 34. We can provide cues for the animals we manage so that they choose the result that we want.
  • 36. Global Grasslands can shape the globe Stress Free Stockmanship 36 “It set a new record for a land-based carbon sink since high-resolution records began in 1958, in a remarkable example of ecosystems working to stabilise the Earth’s climate. And that had a global impact. While atmospheric carbon dioxide still rose in 2011, it grew at a much lower rate – nearly 20% lower – than the average growth over the previous decade. Almost 60% of the higher than normal carbon uptake that year, or 840m tonnes, happened in Australia. That was due to a combination of factors, including geography and a run of very dry years, followed by record- breaking rains in 2010-11.” - Nature Journal, May 2014 What we do with our animals affects the storage and emissions of the whole world.
  • 37. The big ideas • By changing your animals behaviour you expand their range of area and diet. • That changes their epigenetics which allows them to further expand their options and learn from mum and their peers. Stress Free Stockmanship 37
  • 38. The Big Ideas • We can further cue them to explore even more widely. • This increases their adaptability and lessens their impact across the environment. This changes the whole globe. • You guide all of these by changing our human behaviour. Stress Free Stockmanship 38
  • 39. As you go… Enjoy PV2 and behave yourselves!! Stress Free Stockmanship 39 That’s Gold!! See: “regenerativefarming” channel on Youtube Read: stressfreestockmanship.com nokillcropping.com selfherding.com thelazyfarmer.com Ask: I’ll be at the pavilion at 1pm each day
  • 40. Bruce’s Brew Stress Free Stockmanship 40 • The cheapest mineral supplement in the world! • You are only allowed to use it if you call it Bruce’s Brew!!
