PANEL DISCUSSION 



RANGE MANAGEMENT TODAY 



Dave Smith, Panel Moderator 



I have been invited to moderate the panel this afternoon. We have the 

 privilege of listening to some real experts in the field of range management, 

 some great technical people who have had years of experience. We have had 

 the privilege of listening to some political leaders and we have talked with 

 a few of the "bureaucrats" in this particular subject and now we are down 

 to the guy who gets the job done out on the range, and it is a great privi- 

 lege to have a talented panel before us this afternoon. It is also the job 

 of the panel moderator to let the panelists have the light and say nothing 

 so I will go with that particular format. 



First, I introduce to you Roy Cornell. Roy is from Dillon, Montana and 

 he operates the Craig Cornell Company in Dillon. Roy is a former sheep op- 

 erator. I have the distinct privilege of introducing Roy and Ciirt as former 

 sheep herders and I understand they really aren't former as they still have 

 sheep. I think Roy said he has three buck lambs and Curt has two ewes. If 

 we can get the two of them together, we may get the sheep business revived 

 in Montana. I had a great long talk with Prank Sparks last week when I was 

 here in Montana. I really should have Bob Gilbert introduce Frank because 

 I have Frank convinced that he ought to be in the sheep business, so Bob you 

 might get ahold of him after the meeting today. 



Roy is going to speak to us now, and after he speaks would you please 

 forward your questions to him by using the mikes. We'll moderate this as 

 we go, and I'll tell you the format for Curt and Prank as we come to their 

 presentations. 



Mr. Smith is the Executive Secretary of the Society for Range Management, 

 A graduate of Brigham Yoving University, and former missionary to Mexico, he 

 worked as Secretary of the Montana Woolgrowers Association prior to assuming 

 his present duties. 



NOTE: All of the panelists used color slides with their presentations, con- 

 sequently, frequent references are made to subjects in the photographs.
