THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been an honor to author this column for the last 7 years.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always enjoyed taking time to ponder what to write about each month.\u00a0 It helped me grow as a person and I hope you all gained some insight or motivation from this column.<\/p>\n

This will be my last Reid\u2019s Ram-blings article.\u00a0 The time has come for me to step away from Texas A&M AgriLife and begin a new chapter in my life.\u00a0 Change can be hard and scary for us all.\u00a0 But to paraphrase one of my articles \u201cthe worst decision can be no decision at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

It has been a tremendous privilege to serve Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension over the last 9 years.\u00a0 This job was a dream of mine from the time that I was a teenager and it exceeded my expectations.\u00a0 Texas A&M AgriLife has been wonderful agency to work for.\u00a0 A people focused organization with high quality folks throughout the state.<\/p>\n

While, Texas A&M wrote my paycheck, I always felt that the sheep and goat industry was my true boss.\u00a0 In my opinion, Texas sheep and goat folks are some of the best people to work for and work with to continue the century long tradition of tending to animals and caring for land.\u00a0 It has been true blessing for me to be part of this industry through my positions.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be no stranger to the sheep and goat industry and I hope to see you all down the road.<\/p>\n

Thanks for all the support and words of encouragement over the years.<\/p>\n
