Tomorrow is the last day to register for The Texas A&M Ranch Management University. This is an event that targets new or inexperienced ranchers and landowners. They will cover the fundamentals of soils and soil fertility, forage establishment, pasture management, and utilization by livestock. The educational event will also cover basic livestock management practices. Demonstrated, for example, castrating, vaccinating, and de-horning calves. Several wildlife management topics are covered, too. For example, those interested in managing white-tailed deer, turkey, quail, feral hogs, and farm ponds.

Approximately one-half the workshop involves lectures and discussion, with the remainder consisting of the field demonstrations including soil sampling, hay sampling, calibrating sprayers, livestock handling, feral hog management, and pond management. Various forage species, including bermuda grass, small grains, annual ryegrass, and clovers are studied by workshop attendees.

Attendees also have time to interact with Texas A&M University faculty with expertise and experience in all management facets of the soil-plant-animal interface and wildlife management. This is a great event that I would highly recommend to anyone searching for more information about rural land stewardship and management.
