Applied Self Herding

Applied Self Herding with Bruce Maynard will be offered at Todmorden Station on Friday 27 February 2026.

This workshop, with a cattle focus, has been heavily subsidised by the Marla-Oodnadatta Landscape Group and requires a participant co-contribution of $100.

In this one-day workshop, you will learn:

• Various techniques to passively influence the behaviour of livestock, using food rewards and other stimuli (visual stimuli, sounds and smells)
• How this can influence where stock choose to graze and minimise stress in situations such as yards, new water points or when trucking
• Production and landscape benefits that can be achieved with examples of real-life situations

Who will this workshop benefit?  

This workshop is designed for managers, overseers, or anyone familiar with stress free stockmanship principles. 

Self-herding can lead to a more even spread of grazing in paddocks and increase resilience to droughts. There are also benefits in feed availability, improved animal production and animal wellbeing. 

You will leave with a solid foundation in self-herding and opportunity for follow up zoom to help implement self-herding techniques.
