Moving Towards Effectiveness: Stockmanship and Landscape Considerations with Dawn Hnatow & Redwing Ranch
Stockmanship is often relegated to “moving cows,” but in a regenerative context, it is a primary biological tool for animal and land health, predator conflict mitigation, and operational profitability. This session bridges the gap between technical handling principles and landscape-scale management implementation.
Dawn Hnatow will lead with the core mechanics of Bud Williams-style stockmanship, detailing the precise use of timing, positioning, and pressure to create a calm, responsive herd. Building on these fundamentals, the Redwing Ranch team will share how they apply this high-level stockmanship across 4,000+ acres in Gardner, Colorado, to meet diverse stewardship and business goals.
