Reflecting on our business journey this evening. We are thankful for all the wisdom that others are willing to share, all the books that others write to share their findings and experiences, the conversations at conferences and all the phone calls discussing abstract business ideas and virtual fencing.

As we start winding down the grazing season, we wanted to create some apparel for our business and we need your help.

What do you think about our design and which hat is your favorite??? Leave your comments below 👇

Beautiful day on Friday sorting out pairs. The only regret was forgetting the camera to capture the man from snowy river cracking his bull whip.

🌾 Speaker Spotlight: Ellen Trahan 🌾

We are excited to welcome Ellen Trahan as a speaker at the upcoming Nebraska Grazing Conference!

A Nebraska custom grazer, agricultural educator, and advocate for innovative grazing practices, Ellen’s passion for grasslands and education began growing up on a ranch in the Northern Flint Hills. While earning her bachelor’s degree at Kansas State University, an internship with UNL Range & Forage Specialist Jerry Volesky led her to the Nebraska Sandhills, where she and her husband, Rex, now call home with their son.

As Co-Founder and Co-Manager of Rockin Flyin T Ranch, Ellen has helped build a custom grazing operation that utilizes virtual fencing technology to improve livestock management, land stewardship, and grazing flexibility.

Ellen also serves as an Agricultural Educator and FFA Advisor at Keya Paha County Schools, where she has secured more than $200,000 in grants and sponsorships to strengthen the program. She guides students in entrepreneurship and agricultural business management while encouraging leadership and innovation in agriculture.

With experience in forage and grazing research, public speaking, agricultural outreach, and custom grazing, Ellen is passionate about helping producers explore emerging technologies like virtual fencing and adaptive grazing systems—tools that can support profitable ranching, healthy ecosystems, and resilient rural communities.

Thank you, Ellen, for sharing your knowledge, experience, and passion with us at the 2026 Nebraska Grazing Conference! We look forward to learning from you! 🌱🐂
