Cattle Up’s Dawn Hnatow worked directly alongside Bud Williams every day for over ten years, learning firsthand how his stockmanship principles transform livestock operations of every kind.

When you communicate with animals in a way that respects their natural instincts, they stay calm and develop trust instead of fear. The results include better weight gains, less sickness, easier gathers, more efficient corral work — and more profit in your pocket.

Dawn travels the country sharing her expertise at livestock handling clinics, as well as private ranch consultations.

“Smile and mean it.”

— Bud Williams

The animals can sense how you really feel, and the way you approach the start of the gather is how the rest of the work day will go.

“Dawn’s knowledge and skill is tremendous about handling stock. If you’re interested in learning or improving your stockmanship skills this would be a good school to attend.”

“Dawn is a great teacher!! She’s great with keeping things simple and getting you to understand on the ground how these techniques work and help improve your ROI with proper stockmanship!”

-Sonya Fullen

“Dawn, the skills I have learned from you have made it so I can run 300 custom grazing cows totally by myself and I am so grateful! Our ranch needed a steady income stream and grazing other people’s cows have done the trick! I have gotten so many comments from the cow’s owners about how nice they are to handle after they’ve been on our place. Thank you so much!!!”
