Nebraska Ranch Practicum and High Plains Ranch Practicum
multiple dates and locations, June
2008-January 2009
In these multi-session programs, participants develop the ability to efficiently use decision support tools to critically evaluate management and marketing alternatives dealing with grazing strategies and systems, methods of managing market risk, calving and weaning dates, and much more. They will also learn to use forage, livestock, and market monitoring skills to capitalize on seasonal patterns. Application deadline for both practicums is May 1.
The week-long course educates participants on the principles of range management for efficient, sustainable use of range for livestock as a natural resource. Registration deadline is May 15.
Know someone in high school who would like to get a feel for the UNL campus life and the Professional Golf Management program? Our Nike Golf Camp may be the perfect opportunity!
Because Winona is located next to the Mississippi river and close to a variety of prairies ranging from sand prairie to dry prairie to wet prairie to the special thin-soiled "goat prairie," The Prairie Meets the River was chosen as this year's theme to emphasize the importance of water in the prairie environment.
Attendees will range from biologists and botanists to prairie enthusiasts and community members, as well as businesses specializing in prairie seeds and prairie restoration. Abstracts due April 28.
