“Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.”- Mary Hemingway

Worrying can have harmful effects on our lives. There really is no solution when you worry, it only creates more problems for yourself in the long run.

Many of us spend so much time worrying & wasting our precious time thinking and talking about things that really don’t matter.  Things that don’t matter now, don’t matter next week and definitely will not matter 10 years from now.  We really end up creating these problems by thinking about them.  Try replacing negative thoughts with good thoughts, things that we can & will do something about.  Let’s talk about the things that we are happy about, things that we are thankful for.  Let’s go on & on & on about the good things. 

These positive thoughts should be used with livestock, too.  Be happy that you can be outside and spend time with your animals.  They depend on you & they really do like it when you spend time with them teaching them new things.  I know that this is true.  I see it everyday with our cattle.  I can tell when they are happy & I can tell when something is not right.  Maybe they don’t show it in the same ways we do, but they do show us these things…if only we’d pay more attention.  And if things aren’t right? Well then…it’s up to me to fix’em.

Be Positive & You Will See Positive Results!!

Have a Good’en!

“What you anticipate, you will create.”- Bud Williams   

We had a nice crowd at the Bud Williams Stockmanship School that was held in Independence, Kansas on April 18-20, 2008.  The first 2 days were spent on Stockmanship and Sunday Bud talked on Marketing, Grass Management, more Stockmanship & what I feel like is one of the most important…Having a Positive Attitude.

Jack & I answered some questions on Saturday about some of the things we do when we start calves. 

We will be holding some one day schools at our ranch this summer.  The class sizes are going to be limited to small groups, so we can do some live demonstrations with the cattle.  If you are interested in attending, please contact me for more information.

WELCOME BUD & EUNICE

Bud & Eunice Williams are in Independence, KANSAS & will be teaching the Bud Williams Stockmanship School April 18,19 & 20, 2008!

We are looking forward to meeting with almost 80 people.Tomorrow is the beginning of the 3 day event.  Bud will be speaking all three days.  The first two days will be on stockmanship and the third day will be on marketing, grass management & whatever the students would like his “expert” opinion on!  I say “expert” because when it comes to Stockmanship he IS AN EXPERT!  He has studied & done these things for years & I know that there isn’t anyone else that has “Been there, Done that” like Bud has. 

I hope you didn’t miss out on this opportunity!    Have a great week.
