Western Ranch Management Academy

About the Academy

Utah State University Extension has joined with Intermountain Farmers Association (IFA) to establish an ongoing ranch management seminar series focused on the Intermountain West. The series will provide high-quality educational opportunities for ranchers and allied industry professionals.

The Western Ranch Management Academy will hold three seminars in 2025 and four more in 2026. These seminars will each cover topics critical to the long-term success of ranching in the Intermountain West. Experts on specific topics will present material designed to provide the attendees with a working knowledge of the subject in an interactive setting. Ranchers will have the opportunity to network with subject-matter experts and other producers looking to improve their operations.

Ranchers and allied industry professionals will benefit from this deep dive into all facets of successful ranch management. To accommodate an intimate learning environment, class sizes will be limited.
