Transitioning from Cowboy to head stockman By: Dr. Nels Lindberg Production Animal Consultation
This fall I had the pleasure of discussing how one of our cowboys could transition to the head stockman position in a feedyard. The discussion, including both the cowboy and the feedyard manager, centered around not only what the cowboy thought it took to become a head stockman but also my thoughts regarding the leadership qualities required to be successful in this position.
