there is a four day holistic managment course in our area next week and i'm trying to decide on whether or not to go. have any of you been to one of these? what did you think of it all? i got the readers digest version of what it will cover, just don't know how much of it i'll be able to apply. maybe all, maybe none. :? basically i am wondering if those that have been to one would recommend it.

thanks in advance.

Is Alan Savory still with us? I have several friends who operate pretty successful operations who would recommend the course. I am thinking of going this spring. I went to the Ranching for Profit course and found it helpful. Especially the networking.

I went to one recently in Indiana. Thought it was just good enough to get return on time and money. I just read a book by Jim Gerrish and will be looking for a course he offers. I think its all about who is offering it. Each instructor has an area of strength in their program. That is, may need to attend more than one or find one on the area of holistic mgmt that you are looking to improve the most.

Roland has been at it for along time, since the mid eighties, I would reccomend going, especially at that reasonable cost.

This must the one fellow "
"Kroos has been involved in teaching and designing courses in Holistic Resource Management for more than 20 years. Kross has a bachelor of science degree in agriculture from the University of Nebraska and has worked for the USDA Soil Conservation Service from 1978 to 1985. This experience has taught him that teaching involves the communication of ideas and instilling the desire to learn and to become a self-directed learner."

At $150 you really can't lose.

BMR & Dylan...i agree on the cost side of it. i've heard that these coarses can sometimes be from $500-$700. for $150 and not that far from home, i think i might give it a go.

the bright side of it is, i can't come home any dumber. :? :???: :lol:

Understanding the principles is the easy part. The application is the tougher part, for me anyways.

:)

I think you will get a lot out of it regadless! :)

My guess from your photos is that you are already applying a holistic approach to management. Going to a school of that calibre will help you tweak a few things that you may be missing.
Any school will teach most of us thick-headed cowboys something. :wink:
