Yes, Suzanne can teach you the most effective, low-stress way to train your cattle to be as quiet and easy to manage as her herd members. She can also teach you to work smarter, not harder, with your small cattle so they’re a joy to own.
Renowned as a leader in this field, Suzanne gets questions week in, week out. Every day, she gets emails and messages with pleas for help to solve problems, advice on how to do certain things, and requests for visits to chat and learn about all things quiet-cattle-related. These requests come from people all over Australia and from overseas.
Answering these questions and attending to these requests could easily become a full-time job. Being semi-retired, Suzanne is not interested in a full-time job. She is kept pretty busy working with Gold Creek clients because all Gold Creek cattle are sold with ongoing backup and support second to none. However, for people not fortunate enough to have purchased Gold Creek cattle, Suzanne will provide training and education on a paid consultancy basis.

When Gold Creek started out, cattle were not being used as animal-assisted therapy co-workers. Back in 2005, no one had a paddock full of cows and calves that strangers could confidently handle in the paddock. Now, Suzanne has both AAT cattle and paddocks full of pets. It took years of patience, persistence, hard work, and more than a bit of ingenuity. Today, it doesn't feel like hard work. In fact, she does it day in, day out, without even thinking about it.
There is a significant demand for these cattle as pets and as AAT workers now. Several other breeders are offering quieter cattle for sale now, too. There may even be other people starting to train them for therapy purposes now. However, demand still far outweighs supply.
Please understand that to offer proper advice and effective training, being with you and some cattle in a paddock is a must (your paddock or our paddocks). Phone calls and emails are only useful after Suzanne has been in a paddock with you and some cattle.
