Working Circle offers single day workshops and multi-day clinics to ranching communities and individual ranches.
These workshops and clinics serve to provide in-depth understanding of wolf-livestock conflict along with practical and effective mitigation practices designed to meet the needs of the ranch vs. taking valuable resources in time, energy and money away from the ranch.
A strong focus on effective stockmanship for ranching with wolves is presented.

Led by Dawn Hnatow, founder of Cattle Up Stockmanship, the field day offers a unique opportunity to practice, ask question, understand on a deeper level, and witness the effectiveness of the stockmanship techniques presented.
