Emphasis of the internship will vary with time of year that the student is present at the Center, i.e., the fall quarter will focus on calving assistance and feeding and management of cows calving on rangeland pastures. Winter quarter could involve cattle breeding, including artificial insemination and nutritional management on rangeland. During spring, students could work with pasture rotation and cattle health. Summer quarter emphasizes management of irrigated pastures and the cattle that are grazing them. Interns may focus on specific research projects involving a subject area such as watershed management, range forage utilization, pasture management, weed management or oak regeneration.
