| Welcome! My position here at Western includes serving as Professor of Animal Science in the Department of Agriculture: responsibilities include teaching, applied research, industry outreach and overseeing the university’s beef unit. I am also active on several university committees including Leadership Studies and am currently serving on University Senate. In addition, my duties at Western have allowed me to act as Program Director for the University's Master’s program in Administrative Dynamics. My public service and outreach includes involvement on several national industry committees associated with a variety of projects. Additionally, I write a column entitled "Monthly Market Profile" now in its fourth year of publication available through www.cattlenetwork.com and the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association monthly publication, Cow Country News; the column is designed to cover current market events while also profiling insight into agriculture industry and beef sector trends and issues. My publication efforts also include a bi-monthly beef industry column entitled “Beef Biz” exclusive to CALF News. My wife Sandra works as a District Manager for Purina Mills; she and I are blessed with a wonderful daughter, Lydia Grace. | |||||||||||
