Dates have been set for the 2025 KLA/Kansas State University Ranch Management Field Days. Larson Ranch, owned by Brady and Kyla Larson, will host the first event August 21 in Wichita County. The August 28 field day will be held in Woodson County at Wells Ranch, owned by Terry Wells. Please mark your calendars for this year’s events.
Each event will begin at 3:30 p.m. and include presentations on the history of the host ranch and tours of their cattle handling facilities. At Larson Ranch, we will be joined by Dale Woerner with Texas Tech University, who will share his research on yield grading technology, as well as Brian Vander Ley with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Michael Heaton with the USDA, who will discuss bovine congestive heart failure in feedlot cattle. At Wells Ranch, we will be joined by A.J. Tarpoff, DVM, with Kansas State University, who will share information on the Asian longhorned tick and the transmission of Theileria orientalis, as well as Wade Newland of Newland Ag Drones and a representative from the Kansas Grazing Lands Coalition who will highlight resources available for controlling noxious weeds in grazing lands and provide a spray drone demonstration. Both events are free and will conclude with fellowship and a beef dinner. More information will be posted here as it becomes available.
Please join us for one or both of these exciting events—you do not have to be a KLA member to attend! See you in August!
