SUMMARY:How to Actively Manage Semi-arid Rangeland
DESCRIPTION:Join this free webinar to hear practical lessons a ranch manager has learned from restoration and grazing management efforts in arid landscapes. We will discuss considerations for using compost\, biochar\, or bale grazing in variable and windy conditions\, the role of targeted brush management\, and aligning livestock choice and management with both ecological goals and economic viability. We will hear from Travis Dimler\, the manager of a ranch near Alpine\, Texas. This ranch has been part of a set of Quivira demonstration sites and Travis will discuss the differences between short-term implementation effects and observed long-term changes to soil health and resilience of different active management strategies. The content will be applicable to all who are ranching in arid and semi-arid regions and wanting to build up the soil health of their land. There will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion after the presentation. \nContact Eva Stricker at eva@quiviracoalition.org with any questions. \nThis material is based upon work that is supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture\, U.S. Department of Agriculture\, under award number NR227442XXXXG005 through NRCS.

SUMMARY:Rural Resilience- Ranch Insights: Sheep Industry Takeaways for Beef
DESCRIPTION:Join Rural Resilience for the sixth year of the Rural Resilience Webinar Series\, where they’re growing their ranching and rural community’s financial\, ecological\, and social resilience with experienced speakers and actionable insights. \nThis free\, four-part series will tackle key topics designed to support ranchers and rural residents: \nMarch 5 – Ranch Insights: Sheep Industry Takeaways for Beef\nOver the past 75 years\, the U.S. sheep industry has faced challenges that mirror pressures in the beef sector. From shifting consumer preferences and import competition to labor shortages and grazing losses\, these experiences offer valuable lessons for today’s cattle producers. Brent Roeder\, MSU Extension Sheep Specialist\, will share insights from the sheep industry’s history and what cattle producers should consider as they navigate changing markets and policies. \nAbout the Speaker: Brent Roeder grew up on a multigenerational sheep\, goat and cattle operation in the Texas Hill country. Attending Montana State University to get a master’s degree in Range Sheep Nutrition he met his wife\, Tracie. Having two brothers handling the operation in Texas\, he and Tracie chose to stay in Montana working for four years at Sieben Live Stock Company\, helping with the Undaunted Stewardship Program while conducting large scale livestock weed grazing projects\, served several years as the Montana Woolgrowers Executive Secretary\, three years as the Extension Ag agent in Teton County and presently serves as the MSU Extension Sheep and Wool Specialists and Supervisor at the Montana Wool Lab. Brent and his wife Tracie operate a registered Targhee operation that winters on the Greenfields Irrigation Project near Fairfield and summers in the Blackfoot River east of Missoula. Tracie manages a direct-to-consumer lamb market enterprise with Central Avenue Meats in Great Falls and also a value-added wool blanket business. Brent’s main research and extension interests focus on overlaying new technology on proven management practices\, exploring how international supply and demand affects the profitability of Montana producers and improving wool and lamb production in Montana. \nEach session includes a 60-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute Q&A\, allowing you to engage directly with our expert speakers.\nCost: FREE! \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain practical knowledge and connect with others dedicated to building resilient ranching and rural communities. \nPre-registration is required—Zoom link will be emailed upon registration. \n(PLEASE NOTE: You will be registering for the entire series.  It is not necessary to register for each webinar separately.)
