I’m glad about that. I’m always erring on the side of being conserva- tive anyway, because it’s my nature, but I have learned, too, that it’s about being fl exible.” Rauch provided details of how the ranch manages the quail harvest. The ranch is divided into 300 to 600-acre hunting units, which are usu- ally defi ned by roads, fences, creeks, or some other natural boundary. For the driver’s sake, the boundaries of each unit are defi ned by a double disked strip, making them eas- ily identifi able. The goal, he said, is to be able to spend a half day hunt- ing a designated area. Once it’s hunted, it’s rested for 14 days. “This spreads hunting pres- sure out across the entire ranch,” said Rauch. “I like to say we’re hunting the good, the bad and the ugly.” Hunting is done crosswind, cross-country; they don’t hunt roads. Hunters are allowed to shoot covey rises and singles, but the maximum harvest per covey is three birds. Hunting pressure is reduced in the poor years or if the covey size starts to dwindle during the season. Since 2002 Rauch and his team have been “tracking the tract” and marking covey loca- tions, initially with a Garmin GPS. In 2006 he began using an Arc Pad program, which allowed specifi c questions to be asked and answered and afforded considerably more data specifi c to each location. 44 Farms® is striving to improve all aspects of the beef production chain. Then in 2014 he switched to From genetic selection through harvest – we have access to key, real world CyberTracker, which enables the collection of covey size, data and work to utilize this information to its full potential. number of birds harvested, age of birds harvested, number of wounded, how the birds were located, the cover they’re lo- cated in, covey quality, wheth- er singles were, and covey size shot as well as busted coveys. He also pulls data from the dog collar, which is equipped with a Garmin Astro. “Incorporating all the data indicates how efficiently we cover a given tract,” says Rauch. “Also, in good years, it may allow me to come back in the afternoon and pick up and hunt REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE DATA REAL WORLD FEEDYARD DATA REAL WORLD CARCASS DATA the rest of the pasture where we left off from that morning.” The data put together allow him to micromanage spe- cific areas of the ranch, to 963 PR 44 • CAMERON, TEXAS 76520 • 254.697.4401 treat each tract as its own spe- BROADCAST LIVE DISH NETWORK • CH 998 cifi c ranch.

However, in relating imple- mentation of a traceability program to insurance — nec- essary but not very exciting or appealing — he said he is hopeful that the “purpose-built infrastructure” which is part of the project will drive value back to participants. On the third party producer- owned database, Teagarden also reiterated that the board is in the process of developing protocols for how and when data will be accessed by ani- mal health authorities. “We want there to be cer- tainty about them having ac- cess when it’s needed, but only when it’s needed,” he stressed. More information on the pilot project is available at www.cattletrace.org. LOOSE MISCELLANEOUS NOTES • QUOTES ENDS ANECDOTES The American Sheep In- dustry Association and the Agricultural Trade Promotion Program have applied for funds to promote American wool and sheepskins to alter- native international markets. According to USDA, the program is designed to help American agricultural prod- ucts affected by recent adverse trade conditions. China has long been the major buyer of American wool and sheep- skins, so recent tariffs an- nounced by the country were a blow to the industry. Administered by the For- eign Agriculture Service, ATP Program funds would be used to promote sheepskins at trade shows in an effort to boost the market in that area of the industry. The funds would also provide support for exploring new markets for American wool in eastern Asia, the Mid- dle East and South America. This would allow for an effort similar to the existing Quality Samples Program, which ASI already uses to support the trial use of American wool exports around the world. • • • • • Researchers at Lincoln Agri- tech Ltd. in New Zealand have successfully broken down coarse wool, which comprises around a fourth of the New Zealand wool clip, into its cellular components, creating Page 26 Livestock Weekly November 15, 2018 fi re, a drouth persisted and wind utilizing a bulldozer for cedar Auction, Navasota, Texas.
