Channel catfish is one of the three most commonly stocked fish species in Southern Great Plains (largemouth bass and bluegill are the others). Properly managed channel catfish provides an enjoyable sport fishery with relatively predictable results.

As more land managers use growing-season burns to meet their goals, livestock stocking rates become even more important.

Stockpiling defers a forage from grazing to allow it to accumulate forage mass for grazing during fall and winter.

Intentional beef producers share many characteristics when it comes to managing their operations for healthy herds and profits.

Foundational management metrics include stocking rate, carrying capacity, animal demand and animal unit, allowable forage and harvest efficiency, grazeable acres, stock density, grazeable days per pasture, and stock days per acre.

Hay can be expensive, but here is a strategy for cattle producers with bermudagrass pastures to extend the grazing season.

An important part of the regenerative ranching process is regenerative grazing. The use of livestock grazing is an important part of the ecological process to improve soil health and plant diversity.
