Tyler Dawley is a guy who has lived in one spot his entire life. That spot is Big Bluff Ranch, the family ranch. Since he was a kid, driving the ranch truck looking through (not over) the steering wheel, he has found purpose and passion working with the land and animals. Since 2000, he has been driving innovations on the ranch. Everything from farmer's markets to grass-fed beef to pasture poultry to direct marketing over the internet. Currently, Big Bluff Ranch is one of the largest producers of organic, pasture raised, no corn/soy chicken on the west coast. Now raising the 4th generation of Dawley's on the ranch, Tyler knows way more about raising chickens on pasture than a normal person should. Ask him what's going on and the answer is always the same - "Just raising chickens and kids."

How to efficiently catch a large number of birds in order to transport
