About Money Management: But I'll not be swayed. Right now it's just about money management, wise investments, shopping around and building up my savings up to about $500,000. And then, just then, I just might be able to afford the driveway.A knowledge of botany and animal husbandry does not make a range manager, however, for range management is a science in its own right. As of 1963, 16 American universities gave degrees in range management, and the United States Civil Service Commission offered an examination entitled "Range Conservationist" for those desiring government employment in the profession. The American Society of Range Management, an international professional organization, publishes the Journal of Range Management, a bimonthly periodical devoted to range science. The Range Education Council is an organization of Western universities that studies range teaching programs and standardizes curricula in range management.
Scientific range management requires an understanding of botany, especially plant ecology, physiology, and taxonomy. Of almost equal importance is animal husbandry, particularly nutrition. Although there is some tendency in administering public lands to divorce range management from livestock management, this separation is ill advised. Certainly the rancher makes no such distinction, and an understanding of animal nutrition and the complexities of animal behavior and animal care is fundamental to the understanding of range management. |
