“The Nebraska Ranch Practicum is by far the most valuable of any Extension educational program I have been involved with.” Homer Buell-Rose, NE Rancher and past president of Nebraska Cattlemen

The Nebraska Ranch Practicum is a three-season, hands-on educational program designed to give participants the skills and education needed in today’s complex ranching industry.

By attending the Practicum, participants will:

• improve their decision-making skills needed to manage more efficiently
• enhance stewardship of natural resources
• improve critical thinking skills

Participants will develop the ability to efficiently use decision support tools to critically evaluate numerous management and marketing alternatives dealing with:

• grazing strategies and systems
• methods of managing market risk
• calving and weaning dates
• winter livestock nutrition
• cull cow management
• feed rations and seasonal mineral supplements

Additionally, participants will learn to use forage, livestock, and market monitoring skills to capitalize on seasonal patterns.
