Grahame Rees

Associate - KLR Marketing and Low-Stress Stock Handling Trainer

Grahame is an Associate of Carbon Sync and provides the Low-Stress Stock Handling and KLR Marketing programs for Carbon Sync. He is a fourth-generation sheep and wool producer who grew up on the family property at Ivanhoe in western NSW. After completing high school, Grahame spent two years at Longreach Pastoral College, where he developed his passion for people, livestock and the rangelands. Grahame has spent the last 20 years with his family on their property near Ivanhoe, building on his knowledge, as well as participating in programs such as ‘Grazing for Profit’ and ‘Executive Link’.

In 1999, Grahame spent time with Bud Williams on his visit to Australia, which ignited an interest in Low-Stress Stock-Handling (LSS). Over the next couple of years, Grahame and his wife Ros experienced the benefits of handling livestock using Bud’s methods. In 2002, Grahame joined with Jim Lindsay to deliver LSS schools right across Australia, where they have assisted thousands of livestock handlers. After three weeks visiting Bud Williams in Texas, Grahame spent the next 12 months working with his business partners, developing the KLR Marketing school. The initials ‘KLR’ represent the first letters of the names of each of the founders.

Grahame is passionate about sharing both LSS and KLR Marketing with everyone involved in the livestock industries.
