I would never discourage a person from going to college. 
But a Texas A&M Aggie. :cowboy: :roll:
You will have to start tucking you pants in your boots. :wink:

I really want to stay in-state, and I've always wanted to go there, but that looks like a good second choice
At first I was concerned if this was an accredited program, however, it appears to be, throught it's affliation with Texas A&M. The program appears to be a graduate program rather than an undergrad program. Unless you already have your BS it might not be for you just yet.
When I was in college they always said the following:
BS= Bull S**t
MS= more of the same
PHD= Piled higher and deeper
Overall I think it sounds like a great program, strong on practical knowledge from people who actually do the work, rather than just think about it.

Tell her that sage brush hold snow, slows down the wind and feeds the grouse.

Star Valley the wind don't blow very much, the snow covers the sage brush in the winter. Snow stands on top of fencepost and wire to show there not much wind.Big Muddy rancher said:jodywy said:Daughter taking range management at U of Wyoming .

There are a few sage grouse here but mostly ruff and blues.

The sage must be an indicator of something. With that much snow your grass should be able to compete. How would those pellets dispersed around to thin it out rather then a complete burn?

Yeah go for it. I took a range-management course, and had a blast. If that one was fun, then I'll bet that the whole degree will be the same too.
