Minimizing Drought-Induced Frustrations on Range
Are you wondering if you should reduce your herd size this year?
Do you have the feeling that as soon as you sell it will rain and turn everything around?
If so, there will be two workshops to help you through the decision making process. Whether you own rangeland and cattle, or you are a property owner who leases range, or you are leasing rangeland for your cattle, you will gain valuable information from these workshops. Young aspiring ranchers are particularly invited to attend.
