SUMMARY:Public Lands Grazing Reform: What’s Changing and Why It Matters for the West
DESCRIPTION:The 1934 Taylor Grazing Act was designed to support and manage domestic livestock production on public lands in a manner that sustains the land’s productive capacity and natural resource values. Since that time\, rangeland science and management have continued to evolve and improve. There is increasing recognition that in addition to meeting human resource needs and supporting rural livelihoods\, well-managed grazing plays an important role in sustaining grassland ecosystems\, open space and wildlife habitat. In many places around the West\, conflicts over grazing management are giving way to greater collaboration and partnership.   \nGrazing polices need to evolve\, too. The proposed new grazing rules would constitute the most significant change in federal grazing policy in decades.   \nAs a non-partisan\, landowner-led organization dedicated to conserving and caring for working lands for the benefit of people and wildlife\, WLA is hosting this webinar to share perspectives and insights among federal officials\, ranchers\, conservationists\, sportsmen\, etc. so everyone can better understand the rule and provide substantive comments to help inform the rule and implementation.  \nJoin us for an engaging conversation about these policy developments with: \n\nBrenda Younkin – Department of Interior Deputy Assistant Secretary\, Lands and Minerals\nGilbert Jackson – United States Forest Service Rangeland Management Program Manager\nLesli Allison – CEO\, Western Landowners Alliance\nLiz Munn – Resilient Public Lands Strategy Director\, The Nature Conservancy Nevada\nDavid Willms – Associate Vice President\, Public Lands\, National Wildlife Federation\nRobbie LeValley – Colorado Permittee\, Public Lands Council\nDuane Coombs – Nevada Permittee\nMarissa Taylor – Wyoming Permittee\n\nRegister today to join the discussion.

SUMMARY:The Economics and Natural Resource Benefits of Virtual Fencing in the Western US
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar produced by the United States Department of Agriculture’s research lab at the Jornada Experimental Range\, researchers will share insights from producer-focused surveys\, adoption studies\, and economic modeling of VF systems in the Southwest and Southern Plains. Speakers will discuss how ranch size\, herd size\, and producer preferences—such as precision grazing\, herd tracking\, and fencing alternatives—shape adoption decisions. The presentation will highlight the costs and benefits of VF relative to traditional fencing\, emphasizing practical break-even thresholds and producer tradeoffs. Speakers will also explore how VF can serve as a natural resource management tool in ecologically sensitive areas. Drawing on cattle–elk conflict simulation and AI decision-support systems\, researchers will demonstrate how VF can be paired with satellite imagery\, drone flights\, and AI grazing models to improve conservation outcomes.

SUMMARY:Ranch Managers Guild - Virtual Fence Technologies on Working Lands
DESCRIPTION:This call will bring Ranch Managers Guild members together for a candid\, peer-to-peer discussion about the use of virtual fencing technologies in real-world ranch operations. Members will share firsthand experiences with different systems\, what it actually takes to implement and operate them\, and how the technology is affecting cattle behavior\, labor\, costs\, and management flexibility. The goal is to move beyond marketing claims and focus on practical lessons learned from managers who are using or seriously evaluating virtual fencing.  \nWe’ll discuss:  \n\nOverall experiences using virtual fencing in day-to-day operations \n\n\nUpfront and ongoing costs\, including installation\, labor\, and maintenance \n\n\nUnintended consequences\, limitations\, or surprising outcomes \n\n\nComparisons between different virtual fencing companies and platforms \n\n\nHow cattle have responded and adapted over time \n\n\nThe realities of operating the apps and managing herds digitally \n\n\nHow to identify cost-share programs and funding opportunities \n\nParticipation is reserved for active members of the Ranch Managers Guild.

SUMMARY:Ranch Managers Guild - Hunt Management
DESCRIPTION:Our January Ranch Managers Guild Zoom meeting will facilitate knowledge sharing and networking on the topic of hunt management. Participants will share how hunting fits into their operations\, what’s working\, what’s challenging\, and how they navigate wildlife management\, regulations\, and landowner objectives. The goal is not to present “best practices\,” but to surface real-world approaches\, lessons learned\, and questions worth exploring together.  \nDiscussion questions will include:  \n\nHow does hunting fit into your ranch’s overall management goals (ecological\, economic\, and social)? \n\n\nWhat hunting models are you using (membership\, guided\, commercial\, family/staff\, mitigation-focused)\, and why? \n\n\nWhere do you see opportunities or barriers (policy\, liability\, access\, or capacity) to improving your hunting program? \n\n\nWhat questions are you currently wrestling with that you’d like input from fellow managers on? \n\nParticipation is reserved for active members of the Ranch Managers Guild.

SUMMARY:Innovations in Rangeland & Livestock Management Webinar: Grazing Management for a Resilient Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a grounded\, practical look at how virtual fencing\, remote water sensors\, and a focus on soil health can make grazing management more practical and adaptable on working ranches. \nJim Armendariz (NRCS State Rangeland Management Specialist) will present on the use of these tools and how they have benefitted his family’s ranch. He’ll also walk through funding options that can help cover equipment and start-up costs and discuss how his focus on soil health has simplified grazing management\, making it more intuitive\, efficient\, and adaptable. \nHosted by the USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range and NMSU’s Department of Animal and Range Sciences\, this webinar series brings forward innovations in rangeland and livestock management from the U.S. and beyond. From new technologies to fresh perspectives on time-tested practices\, each session is designed to spark ideas and share practical insights. Our first series spotlights virtual fencing\, exploring its applications for grazing management\, livestock production\, and ecosystem restoration.
