Firstly, I was really poor at speaking English. When I go through the gate for foreigners in airport in USA, the officer said to me "Do you have food in your suitcase?". Of course, now I can see his point but then I couldn't understand what he said and I was confused. So it took a half hour to get the gate since I landed in the USA. And fortunately, I finally reached the International English School, FLS but I couldn't follow their class. That's why I study a lot more than other students. Nevertheless, I couldn't feel my English was getting better. I was struggling with the situation. If I would love to communicate with other students or native teachers,

Growing up, my mother always encouraged me to be involved in any activity I should interest in, whether that be soccer, softball, theater, or chess club. While my mom did not always have the extra money or time, she never told me I could not pursue a new activity. Through my mother’s actions, I have learned to never settle and to continue to fight and work for better, for myself and others. My mother’s selfless attitude and positive attitude inspire me to have the same attitude with the my future family and the people around me.

“A few years after the war ceased, railroads extended west, and markets were established within driving distance of Texas” (Haynes, 278). The railroads were a huge impact on Texas because around that time transportation was very poor. The railroads allowed for goods and other resources to be traded and sold for profits. Texas was known for having a background in farming and ranching because of its Mexican ancestry. Farming and ranching became very important to Texas’ life and economy. Texas’ economy, population, and environment was flourishing, as more and more settlers came along. The ranchers and framers were soon starting to settle in all parts of Texas. “Thes frontier counties we traveld in are nearly all Settle up from the old States mostly

Livestock industries, mainly for cattle, sheep, goats, and hog production developed in Spanish, Texas. Farming was largely limited to small garden plots adjacent to missions and settlements. By 1727 a 2 and a half mile irrigation ditch was watering pastures and gardens. Ranching and farming expanded slightly in Texas over the next 100 years, since Indians dominated the land.

This conservation plan has been put together to identify any soil, salinity, fertility, water, grazing and manure management issues that Cattleland Feed yards might have and to make recommendations on how to improve them. The goal is to make the land owner more informed and knowledgeable of the beneficial management practice and get them to commit to improving them. This will need to be done in a realistic and financially manageable way.

Railroads were being built all over the state. The roads were transferring humans and supplies to farther destinations in quicker speed. The cities were expanding in population and size.

The term cowboys, or vaqueros, originated as an attempt to raised and rounded up cattle in Texas. By 1860s, this cattle business, copied from the Mexicans, soon flourished with five million heads of cattle roaming freely over Texas greenlands. With the development of railroads into Kansas, Texas cattle industry was finally intertwined with the eastern markets of the nation. It all started with Joseph G. McCoy who built the first stockyard at Abilene, Kansas, to hold cattle bounded for Chicago. McCoy initiated the cattle system when he charged high prices from $30 to $50 per head. Soon, nearby towns and cities would engulf themselves in this profitable business, where they would leap up along the railroads to handle the millions of cattle driven

I am a hardworking, motivated student that seeks to learn more about the beef cattle industry. Although I grew up showing horses, I became fascinated with the beef industry during my freshman year of college after competing in the UF Little International Livestock Show. I was tasked with breaking a beef heifer within a month’s time and showing in an intercollegiate show. My experiences in class and networking with various beef industry representatives through my involvement with Gator Collegiate Cattlewomen, has only solidified my desire to work in such a vital industry. I believe interning at the NCBA Convention would allow me to cultivate an increased knowledge of the beef industry, make valuable connections with industry leaders, while also gaining important skills in beef advocacy. As an Agricultural and Natural Resource Law Minor, I am also in a special position to learn more about government regulations affecting the beef industry and the actions needed to improve policy and thus, benefit the beef industry as a whole. Overall, I believe I am qualified prospect and I know I can prove myself to be a valuable asset to NCBA. I am a fast learner with a diverse skill set, well versed in social media, very personable, and an effective problem solver that can handle any task assigned to me.

Ranch Land Restoration In order to asses the condition of land I would begin by estimating the population of domestic herds and examining levels of grazing by looking for evidence of invasive plant species encroaching to an unhealthy extent (Prior, 2014). I would also assess the condition of native grasses, streams, ponds and lakes in order to get to get a better idea of the land’s current potential (Prior, 2014). Healthy soil is essential to sustainable agriculture. 2 In order to examine the land’s soil I would estimate the percentage of the ground that is bare so that I could determine the potential for soil erosion (Prior, 2014). After noticing shrubs encroaching on grassland areas, significant soil erosion and the overgrowth of invasive

Colorado has been famous for its prosperous grassland. In 2007, the United States Army threatened to take 418,000 acres from ranchers in southeastern Colorado. Many of these ranches have been in the same families since the early 1860’s. The army wants to expand a training ground which already covers a quarter of a million acres. This would not only affect the landowners, but it would affect the towns that surround these areas; as well as cover three counties. All of the ranchers would be expected to give up their land. In this part of Colorado, cattle is the main industry. Local economies have received an estimated $200 million from the sale of these cattle (Mac). While our militia is incredibly important to this nation. When the army already

Key actions that happen during the process of choosing your cattle. The first thing that you need to know is what type(s) of cows you already have in your herd. Then select the bulls that you need to have to produce the right type of semen you want for a good offspring. Do you want a bull that will give you an offspring that has big bones or muscle?

Rotational grazing is a topic frequently discussed among producers. When done well, it is a system that can improve the functionality, sustainability and profitability of any farm or ranch. Geoffrey Morell, a well-known energy healer and nutritionist with over 20 years of experience in the field, is the co-founder of P.A. Bowen Farmstead, where he supports and promotes the idea of rotation crazing as a means to boost grass-fed, natural-raised cattle farming.
