"Kaycee, Wyoming is a dusty little town with only 250 residents that lies in the high plains fairly close to the Big Horn Mountains." In 2004 Elisabeth Raff won the Hometown America Junior Scholastic competition for her article about Kaycee, Wyoming. Elisabeth goes on to say "Kaycee is 40 miles from the city of Buffalo and the nearest McDonald's, It is also 60 miles from Casper and the nearest Wal-Mart. It doesn't even have a stoplight! You might miss it if you blink as you drive down Interstate 25--but you would miss a lot of American culture and history here in this little town.

We read in the High Plains Journal about a Rangeland monitoring class happengin on Feb. 17th and thought we should share the info:
Key aspects about rangeland monitoring will be presented at the Rangeland Management School 201 offered by the Wyoming section of the Society for Range Management.
The session is Feb. 17, at the Dry Creek Hall in Bill and hosted by the Converse County Conservation District. Instructors will be University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service educators and specialists and USDA Forest Service personnel.
The Rangeland Management School 201 is a follow-up to the 101 School and is a one-day event at which participants learn key aspects about rangeland monitoring to assist them in designing and using a monitoring program. Presentations cover how to develop monitoring objectives, tools and methods available, application of the data and what ecological sites are and their importance to monitoring and grazing management.
In addition, there will be presentations on matching the animal to the resource and low-stress animal handling and how to apply it to grazing management.
The $20 cost for the course covers the notebook of handouts from all the presentations and other pertinent information. Attendees will also receive the newest version of the Wyoming Rangeland Monitoring Guide. Lunch will be provided by the Converse County Conservation District at no extra charge.

Ranch ownership is different than ownership of most types of real estate. It requires knowledge of the current operations, an understanding of the resources available on the ranch and a grasp of the financial and budgeting processes. Successful ranch management requires a balance of wildlife and resource management with that of productive agricultural operations. Even the most seasoned ranch manager can struggle with these challenges.

Education, knowledge, and ability to change with the times are a few key factors in running a successful business. A great source for farm and ranch owners/operators is the Ranch Management Consultant's website. The philosophy of Ranch Management Consultants, according to their website, is:
The emphasis in conventional agriculture has been to increase production using fossil fuel technology. Much of the energy used, personal stress and costs in farming and ranching come from fighting nature. We have found that economic and financial stability are seldom associated with maximum production. Working with nature results in fundamental improvements to the economic and biological health of the business and can dramatically improve the lifestyle of the people on the ranch.
