Ranch Management University For a new or novice landowner, understanding the
responsibilities associated with maintaining a ranch can be intimidating. Ranch Management University, a 5-day event held each April and October in College Station, serves as an introductory course and one-stop shop for beginning ranchers. The workshop covers a wide range of topics associated with ranching and pro- vides a support network to its participants. Participants receive specifi c training on livestock
management practices such as administering vaccina- tions and dehorning, and land management practices such as managing for introduced and native forages. Landowners also learn about land stewardship is-
sues, including stocking rates (the amount of livestock a particular area can support). “When they go home,

they actually have the resources to go back and do what we discussed during the week,” says Redmon, coordinator for the program. The workshop also provides a unique opportunity
for participants to interact with experts including Texas A&M University faculty and AgriLife Extension special- ists. This mentorship does not end when the workshop ends. Faculty and specialists make themselves available to participants needing additional support. “We do not expect them to be perfectly knowledge-
able when they come out, but at least they know some of the questions to ask and some of the things to be aware of,” Redmon says. “And they know who they can contact, because we give them a list of the entire faculty involved in the workshop, and they can contact those people at any time to ask questions.” The next workshop will be held Oct 26-30, 2015, in
College Station. Learn more about Ranch Management University at
