In this episode of the Maine Farmcast, Dr. Colt Knight is joined by Dr. Dean Fish. After editing the Low-Stress Handling and Stockmanship video, they sat down in the new podcast studio on campus to discuss the topic in more detail.
R. Dean Fish, Ph.D. is the Ranch Manager for the Santa Fe Ranch and a member of the NCBA Stockmanship and Stewardship Team. As the Ranch Manager for the Santa Fe Ranch Foundation, he works to develop problem solving research for his fellow beef producers. The foundation also works to get kids out of doors through agricultural literacy, hiking, camping and learning about the environment. Fish also raises commercial Angus cattle and club calves. Prior to managing the ranch, he was an extension livestock specialist for the University of Arizona. He has served on the Arizona Beef Council and is the past president of the Southern Arizona Cattlemen’s Protective Association. Fish has served in a leadership role for many livestock and service organizations. In addition, he has worked with Todd McCartney, Dr. Ron Gill and Curt Pate planning and delivering Stockmanship and Stewardship at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Cattle Industry Conference and Trade Show.
