Stock dog training a featured topic at Missouri Livestock SymposiumMissouri Once again the Missouri Livestock Symposium will feature programs on all species of livestock, forages, and stock dogs. According to Garry Mathes, Chair of the Missouri Livestock Symposium planning committee, there will be three talks given on stock dogs at this year's Symposium. The three talks will be on "Choosing the Right Dog," "Basic Cowdog Training," and "Advanced Cowdog Training." Laura Stimatze of Macksville, Kan., will be the speaker. Stimatze was born and raised in Kansas and was around 14 years old when she got her first Border Collie, Kip. She grew up around working stock dogs and her father, Bob Buckman, also of Macksville, Kan., trains stock dogs for a living. The Stimatze's have produced numerous winning trial dogs, hold annual seminars on training dogs, and take great pride in helping producers make their working dogs better. The stock dog programs will be held as part of the 2008 Missouri Livestock Symposium Dec. 6. In addition to the stock dog programs, the Missouri Livestock Symposium will feature speakers from 16 states and Canada covering topics on horses, beef cattle, sheep, meat goats, forages, and renewable energies. In addition our around the home sessions will have talks on home grape production and wine making, quilting, and selecting heart healthy vegetable varieties.
