I am a livestock nutritionist and forage specialist living in Roseburg, Oregon.
Since moving to Oregon in 1990, I have operated Lane Livestock Services — an independent consulting firm. I provide technical advice to farms, ranches and all types of agricultural businesses and agencies.
I earned my Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Animal Nutrition at Cornell University.
I’ve published hundreds of popular articles and fact sheets on sheep and cattle production, more than 25 research articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and two books.
I am currently involved in many projects and activities:
-
- Teach courses and workshops in livestock nutrition and forage management.
- Published two books:
- Capturing Sunlight, Book 1: Skills & Ideas for Intensive Grazing, Sustainable Pastures, Healthy Soils, & Grassfed Livestock
- From The Feed Trough — Essays and Insights on Livestock Nutrition in a Complex World
- Facilitate three forage study groups for farmers and ranchers here in Western Oregon.
- Write a monthly livestock nutrition column for The Shepherd magazine.
- Featured speaker in scores of workshops and conferences across the United States and Canada.
