Getting Livestock From Farm to Fork

Bud Williams passed away today, November 26th due to pancreatic cancer. Bud was the world's leading practitioner, teacher, and advocate of low-stress livestock handling.

Here is a link to Bud and Eunice's website:

I was privileged to spend 7 weeks following Bud as part of a study leave at Vee Tee Feeders at Lloyminster, Alberta, Canada in 1993.

Here is an article i wrote based on those experiences:

Low-Stress Livestock Handling on Pasture and Range

Here is a link to a book called "Stockmanship" written by Steve Cote. The book was read and approved by Bud.

Welcome to the Placer & Nevada County UCCELivestock & Natural Resources website!

Visit our Foothill Farming website for specific livestock production information.

Our program promotes using management, not technology, to solve issues and problems in livestock production. Emphasis is put on generating sustainable profit, not maximizing production.

Educational workshops and events with a hands-on focus are held throughout the year, and below and to the right is a listing of those currently available.

Foothill Rancher Newsletter
I publish a quarterly Foothill Rancher newsletter. You can sign up and receive the newsletter electronically by clicking this link or selecting the Foothill Rancher Newsletter tab at the top of this page.

Annual Field Day
There is an Annual Field Day at the Sierra Research and Extension Center. The field day is held each year in late April or early May.

Hope you enjoy the site and feel free to get in touch with me by phone or email. I look forward to meeting you!

Thanks,

Roger Ingram
