RAWHIDE workshop set March 11 in Fort StocktonTexas RAWHIDE is coming to Fort Stockton. The Texas AgriLife Extension Service workshop, whose name stands for "Ranching Aimed at Wildlife Habitat Improvement and Diversification of Enterprises," is slated for 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., March 11 at Fort Stockton's Pecos County Civic Center. The civic center is one mile north of Interstate 10 on U.S. Highway 285. Organizers said the workshop is intended for those wanting to improve wildlife habitat and diversify into more wildlife-related enterprises by making a few well-planned management decisions. Those decisions relate to stocking rates, grazing systems, and type and class of livestock grazed. Program topics will deal with rangeland health, deer, quail and livestock interactions, brush management, rangeland economics and the various conservation programs available for landowners. The workshop is being conducted by the AgriLife Extension offices in Terrell, Reeves and Pecos counties. Three Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units for licensed pesticide users will be offered. Individual registration is $15 until March 7 and $25 thereafter. The fee covers lunch and teaching materials. For more information or to register call the AgriLife Extension office in Pecos County at 432-336-2541.
