The old ways just won’t cut it in a modern beef operation, according to professors at Texas A&M University.
That can be a hard message to swallow for some Texans who yearn to work with cattle. Maybe retirement age is approaching and they remember the way life used to be, before they walked off the family farm to take a job in town. Or maybe they’ve heard a few too many yarns about cattle drives and rodeos, wide-open ranches and cowboys sitting tall in the saddle.
Some folks expect to throw a few heifers onto the home place and watch them pay for themselves. Other people are looking for an agricultural write-off on their tax bill.
For whatever reason, droves of Texans get into the cattle business every year. And for those would-be ranchers, Texas A&M is there to help, offering the Texas AgriLife Pasture and Livestock Management Workshop. The course is held each spring at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Overton, east of Tyler.
If the Aggies crush a few romantic notions along the way, well, better to hear it from them first.
