Students – a Highlight of NCBA Convention
I just got back from Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show and am more enthusiastic than ever. That’s partly because I had the honor of taking four students and Anita Ferrell, UNL Animal Science admissions coordinator.

Anita coordinated our presence at the trade show booth, sponsored by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture.

This new year brought typical resolutions for self-improvement, never-before-seen devastation from two ice storms and 22 new state senators originating from voter-approved term limits. With the abundance of freshman senators gracing the Capitol halls came concerns of what may or not happen during this congressional year.

Nebraska Goes to Nashville

    Nebraska cattle producers and feeders were over 250 strong at the recent Cattle Industry/National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Annual Convention in Nashville, Tenn. Nebraska Cattlemen was very well represented in areas of issues management, committees, policy and just having fun.

NC Left Its Mark at the National Convention
After attending the Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show in Nashville, I always like to take a moment to reflect on the issues, debates and events that took place.

The Vigilantes of Wyoming and Nebraska – Part II
This two-part article, the first of which appeared in the February issue of the Nebraska Cattleman, compares the development of vigilante groups in early Nebraska and Wyoming. Research indicates that Nebraska may have had a quicker restoration of law and order due to its less “colorful” population. While Nebraska was for the most part settled by farmers looking to build a stable community, Wyoming was settled by fortune seekers, rebels and outlaws brought by the expansion of the railroad
