About West Texas Rangelands: Welcome! This site is an outreach project of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. Here you will find links to useful resources for West and Central Texas, including many I mention in my presentations or use frequently. The goal of this site is to keep you up to date on the art and science behind rangeland management! We hope to provide a variety of information from current news stories, prescribed burning, wildfires, brush control, and cow-calf management!
