contest winner! James Graves
Are you passionate about our wildlife and outdoors? If you live in Wyoming, there are so many beautiful spaces to utilize and discover along with amazing habitats to appreciate. Since I was a young girl, I have been chasing lizards, catching fish, hiking, hunting, and taking photos of all that Wyoming has to offer. Every experience is unique and provides perspective that you can’t experience anywhere else. Being a lifetime Wyoming citizen and someone who has loved the outdoors my whole life, I feel it is my duty to help preserve it. There are many ways to get involved with conservation in Wyoming; hunting is my personal passion and how I contribute to conservation. Through the years I have learned how hunting and angling are incredibly crucial to conservation.

Hunting and angling are the most impactful ways to aid in conservation. The positive environmental, ecological, and economic impact of hunting and fishing goes far beyond the “sport” itself. Hunting is critical for the conservation and well-being of wildlife and the ecosystems they live in. Millions
of dollars per year are raised through hunting and fishing licenses and fees that go directly toward conservation. Would you like to voice your questions or concerns about conservation to your local legislator? YOU CAN! Everyone can have a voice for conservation through the legislative process. It can be an intimidating process to learn how to effectively communicate with our lawmakers. On February 24, 2022, a local event in Cheyenne, Wyoming, called ‘Camo at the Capitol’ will teach you, step by step, how to effectively have a voice for hunters and anglers and the legislative bills that impact our wildlife efforts. This annual event is hosted by the Wyoming Wildlife Federation. The program includes advocacy training and legislative action at the Wyoming State Capitol. All efforts are aimed at cultivating a strong conservation voice for sportsmen and -women, resulting in lasting policy changes that benefit wildlife and our sporting heritage.

Add garlic, ginger, and sesame oil, sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Mix in soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper. Cook until some of the sauce absorbs into the beef, about 7 minutes. Add half the green onions. Serve over rice, garnish with sesame seeds and remaining green onions.
“This easy recipe has become a crowd favorite at my house. I always have these ingredients on hand, and it is the perfect cowboy comfort food on cold nights. I can even sneak in a few vegetables, peas and carrots, or half an avocado. Then, spice it up a little more with some sriracha mayo.” ~Holly Allison, Associate Broker

Find out how changing when you feed cows impacts what time of day they give birth by Mark Z. Johnson, Oklahoma State University Extension | Jan 18, 2022 Calving season is a critical time of year in cow-calf operations. Calving, especially during winter months, can be challenging. If you are interested in simplifying calving season, this week’s topic addresses a simple change in management that can result in more cows calving during the day time. Calving during daylight means calves are born during times of warmer temperatures, cows calving are easier to find and provide assistance if needed and accordingly, more calves saved and alive. The simple management change that leads to more cows calving during daylight hours? Feeding cows at night. There are several data sets collected over time that indicate feeding cows at dusk will increase the number of cows calving during the day time. Bear in mind, feeding cows in the evening
does not completely eliminate cows calving during the night but does result in a distinctly higher percentage of cows calving in daylight hours. In one of the largest trials conducted, 1331 cows on 15 farms in Iowa were fed once daily at dusk, 85% of the calves in those herds were born from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is noteworthy that the change from morning to night feeding can be made as soon as a week before calving and result in the benefit of more calves born during the day. But keep in mind, night feeding for several weeks prior to calving season is even more effective in getting more calves born during the day time.
