Dan Scott Ranch Management Program Seminars
Today's ranch managers must know how to manage employees, interpret policy and effectively comment on an environmental impact statement as much as they know how to select a replacement heifer or design a grazing system. Seminars will be held monthly on the last Tuesday beginning in August through May (excluding September & December) and are open to students, staff, & faculty from all disciplines, ranching professionals, and the community.
