Ranch Management alum Walker Milhoan '11 of St. Regis, Mont., was featured this week in the National Cattlemen's Beef Association blog Cattle Call.
Milhoan, who is completing a bachelor's degree in business management at the University of Montana, works part time for the Missoula Livestock Exchange, publishing their online market report and "shaking a paddle at the hind ends of the bovine species."
Originally from Vail, Colo., Milhoan also volunteers on the Promotion and Recruitment Committee for the Young Producers’ Council and is an advocate for the beef industry.
In the blog post, Milhoan gushes about his time as a Horned Frog and learning in the Ranch Management program: "TCU Ranch Management is the most memorable, moving, and beneficial part of my life to date. I can’t say enough good things about that program or TCU in general. Not only did the ranch management program teach me how to think, it taught me more about ranching, and the business of ranching, than any four year university could ever dream of. The information a student draws out of that program is 100% empirical, not theory. Real ranchers with Masters degrees, not academics, teach the classes. The professors go home each and every night to feed livestock, market livestock, bale hay, clean pens, whatever. They are also the most honorable and ethical group of individuals I have ever met and they truly changed my life for the better."
Milhoan was also interviewed by an NBC affiliate in Montana on the historical cumulative effects of the drought on the Treasure State.
