Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

Shanna Ivey is secretary elect and will be secretary in the next year (2020-2021). Secretary elect takes notes during the meeting and will put together the annual station report, as well as the annual meeting held wherever the secretary is. The next year meeting will be held at Ruidoso, NM or at the NMSU Corona Range and Livestock Research Center in Corona, NM.

Tryon Wickersham was nominated by Jim Sprinkle to serve as secretary elect for the coming W-3012 meeting. Ron Lewis seconded. This meeting will be held in 2023, as the Grazing Livestock Nutrition Conference will be in 2022 and will be combined with this meeting.

Bret Hess suggested that the members of the group with long term (10+ years) of rangeland beef cattle performance data assist the USDA-ARS LTER grazing land project for impacts of weather patterns that affect livestock production. Ron Lewis asked the multistate group members on their interest in histology of grazing animals in terms of fiber, plant species and consumption of these species and if we could automate micro-histology to improve traditional examination of grazing environments. It was suggested to incorporate this technology into the USDA-AFRI Sustainable Agricultural Systems grants that will be open in November 2020 and due in July 2021.

The W3012 group is actively engaged in extension, research, teaching, and professional development of graduate and undergraduate students. 40 peer reviewed research publications and book chapters were published, 20 proceedings papers and 24 scientific abstracts for regional and national meetings were submitted, and 31 popular press and extension articles/materials published. W3012 members received $3.9+ million total for 30 grants across various institutions, for research, extension and teaching activities.

2020: One of the objectives of the W3012 is to include participation from institutions across the United States that are not currently represented. Additionally, institutions with 10+ years of range land beef cattle performance data, and rangeland data, would potentially be part of a national database for weather-related impacts on livestock. This would present the opportunity to model livestock production systems based on weather patterns, including drought and severe temperatures.

2021: The annual meeting will be held in Ruidoso, NM or at the NMSU Corona Range and Livestock Research Center in Corona, NM.

2022: Eric Scholljegerdes will lead the W3012 group in continuation of planning the 6^th Grazing Livestock Nutrition Conference, with five-six main topics that will be discussed. December 2021/January 2022, request for proceedings will be initiated, and final speakers will be decided.
