NRCS Specialists Charles Kneuper, left, and John Sackett answered questions about forage management during the Thursday sessions of the School for Successful Ranching.
Specialists from USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Grazing Land Conserva- tion Initiative (GLCI) helped with plant identification and gave tips on getting the most out of your forage. Jeff Goodwin kneels between piles of hay that show how much forage is con- sumed by a 1,000-pound cow versus a 1,300-pound cow.
Kent Ferguson, NRCS, flagged plants at D Bar B Ranch for the plant identification class during the School for Successful Ranching. The demonstration sessions, Thursday, March 21, were hosted by D Bar B Ranch, Aledo.
Dr. Ron Gill, Texas A&M University, showed attendees different methods of cattle handling. He also discussed pen layouts, design and how to get the most out of your equipment.
School attendees received a variety of range and pasture management tips from the specialists with DuPont. J.R. Bell was one of the DuPont crew.
When you don’t have electric- ity and a screen for a Power- point show, then signs will do. Gerald Hobson, DuPont, helped with the talks during the School for Successful Ranching.
On Friday, March 22, the School for Successful Ranching moved to a classroom setting at the Fort Worth Convention Center. Three classes were repeated during the day, allowing students to attend as many as their schedule allowed. Jason Faubion, left, TCU Ranch Management Program, served as moderator for one set of classes. At right is Chad Lee, attorney, who spoke on how to protect yourself in agricultural transactions.
