Introductory comments

The following are five important points that visitors need to know about this website:

Point 1 - This site's primary focus is on preserving our state's, our country's old-time ranching heritage, culture and pastoral way of life for the benefit of future generations.

Point 2 - This site sets-forth many generations of story-telling by family, friends, acquaintances, and numerous others; many years of experience and observation in the field of rangeland ranching; and many years of trial and error experimentation, re-valuation, and correction as an independent rancher, ranch manager, and beef cattle consultant.

Point 3 - This site starts-off by telling a story about traditional rangeland ranching problems and mistakes, and ends-up by providing a recommended plan of action and supportive information for correcting them.

Point 4 - Other information presented at this site includes:

• basic information about our preservation group and mission;
  
  
• a collection of useful ranch management tools and information
  
  
• philosophical concepts that form the basis of our group's preservation approach;
  
  
• glossary of terms and definitions used in the field of rangeland ranching;
  
  
• some biographical information about our group's founder.
  
  

Point 5 - Last, but not least, this site serves as a source for useful information for individuals and groups interested in establishing and carrying forward a long-term rangeland ranching project -- either a desert, prairie, savanna, or forest type -- for both education and preservation purposes.
