CHEYENNE – The High Plains Ranch Practicum, an in-depth ranch management school in its 12th year, is being offered beginning in June and concluding in November.
This national award-winning livestock program is hosted jointly by the Nebraska Extension and the University of Wyoming Extension.
The course will focus on providing ranchers tools to understand and integrate four areas of ranch management: range and forage resources; integrating nutrition and reproduction; cost of production analysis; and family working
relationships.
“Ranchers able to integrate these four areas into decision-making will find they can use a systems approach to improve the long-term profitability of the ranch operation,” said Aaron Berger, Nebraska Extension Educator, who is one of the instructors.
The practicum will consist of eight days of class sessions: June 13-14, Aug. 23-24, Sept. 26-27 and Nov. 1-2, said Berger.
Enrollment is limited to 35. Participants are requested to register by May 21. Registration forms are available at http://HPRanch
Practicum.com.
Sessions will be held in Cheyenne, on the campus of Laramie County Community College and on area ranches. The hands-on experiences with time in the classroom help to solidify concepts learned in the Practicum.
University of Wyoming Extension Educator Dallas Mount said attendees enjoy the camaraderie with other participants, instructors and facilitators throughout
“Friendships and exchanges of ideas among participants will be some of the most-valued aspects of the program,” he said.
There is a $600 fee for individuals or $900 for a couple, which covers materials, instructor costs, and meal expenses.
