In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, Jared Sorensen is joined by Tom Curtin for a rich conversation on stockmanship, horsemanship, and the everyday principles that improve livestock handling on the ranch. Tom shares how his early ranch life in Montana, his time at the King Ranch under Buster Welch, and years spent learning from legendary horsemen shaped his understanding of how cattle and horses respond to pressure, movement, and straightness.
This episode dives into the importance of straight lines in stockmanship, how to build a straighter and more confident horse, and why proper positioning matters when handling cattle. Tom explains how improved cattle handling, better timing, and a deeper understanding of the point of influence can lower stress, reduce sickness, and improve the overall flow of ranch work.
They also discuss practical applications for weaning calves, working pairs, sorting cattle, moving livestock, and using dogs effectively, all through the lens of low stress handling and better stockmanship. If you want to improve your livestock handling, strengthen your horsemanship, and better understand the connection between pressure, movement, and animal behavior, this episode is full of practical wisdom you can take straight to the pasture.
