I will also take classes that will further my knowledge of business management and livestock production, but I will not be pursuing a degree in this. I hope to attend college and take such classes that will continue my education of livestock and rangeland management which will benefit my ability to manage my own cattle operation. Aside from my plans of a cattle operation, I hope to continue my passion for aviation in a way that will aid in the modernization of my cattle operation but will also add financial support on expenses. Throughout and after college, I hope to participate in rodeo as a saddle bronc rider at the local, college, and with luck at the professional level. After a maximum of three years of college and travel I will return to apply all my gained experience and knowledge on the family…

(Vandermeer et al 1996). Many people were taking for granted how many mule deer we had, without any hunting regulations, the deer were shot constantly, and were not having enough time to reproduce. However, man was not the only cause for the decline in mule deer (Ballard Lutz Keegan Carpenter and Devos 2001). Coyotes (Canis latrans), mountain lions (Puma concolor), and wolves (Canis lupus) have been known to kill many deer. Studies showed that a mountain lions main diet is deer (Piece Bleich and…

The article “Origin, Persistence, and Resolution of the Rotational Grazing Debate: Integrating Human Dimensions into Rangeland Research” by Briske is about the debate regarding the benefits and negatives of rotational grazing. It talks about the beginning of this concept and the major reasons for it. Rotational grazing start to come around the 20th century due to severe rangeland degradation and now it is the professional norm for grazing management. There are arguments that rotational grazing…

The Southern Mixed Prairie is considered the most important western range type for livestock production (Holechek, Pieper & Herbel, 2011) and once spanned a vast area of 565,000 km2 (Van Dyne and Dyer, 1973). Debate amongst various scholarly sources has made the boundaries of the Southern Mixed Prairie ambiguous. According to one model, this rangeland area spans central Nebraska down into northern Oklahoma (U.S. Forest Service, 2005). An alternate source elaborates that the Southern Mixed…

This case implicated a challenge brought by the Western Watersheds Project (“WWP”), in which the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) decided to grant a 10 -year grazing permit to LHS Spilt Rock Ranch, LLC (“Split Rock”), for four federal public land allotments in central Wyoming (“the Split Rock allotments”).1 The 102-page Environmental Assessment was published in 2009. Relying largely on the 2005 Rangeland Health Standards Assessment (RHS), it recognized significant ecological issues on the…

Currently the primary method of maintain AML standards for specifics rangelands throughout western lands. 4.) Increase use of effective fertility control vaccines/contraception to slow population growth: “Available fertility control drugs and methods are only part of a comprehensive solution for addressing such a large-scale overpopulation due to the frequency with which they must be administered and the logistical and financial challenges of administering drugs to enough animals across broad…

(Steinfield 2006). The production of livestock is, without question, the most anthropogenic (environmental pollution originating in human activity) enterprise that humans engage in. It accounts for the use of 70 percent of agricultural land and 30 percent of the entire land surface of Earth. The expansion of livestock production is a major motivator in the deforestation of many Latin and South American countries. In the Amazon, 70 percent of areas that were once forested are now grazing…

drought mitigation measure by setting up a robust drought early warning and response system; rehabilitation of dilapidated infrastructure (roads, holding grounds and stock routes) along with protecting holding grounds from acquisition by private developers. Shortage of grazing land, shortage and problems on water sources, cattle health problems, lack of technical supports, lack of security and conflict were raised as main constraints. It was known as production and marketing depends largely on…

Eighty-six thousand. This is the number of horses predicted to be roaming the plains of the Western United States after the foaling in 2017. While most people know about the wild horse population in the western United States they don’t know that the population has exceeded its carrying capacity and it is causing a problem for people who are trying to manage the herds.This capacity is nearly triple the amount that can be truly supported on these public lands.With no true natural predators to keep…
