Some team recommendations coincided with what the Beastroms were already doing, such as switching half of their herd to fall calving. Another recommendation they have implemented is leasing four fields to an outfitter for commercial hunting. The Beastroms also plan to make their property more attractive to wildlife by planting cover strips of milo or sudangrass along the edges and center of the fields. Originally offered only in the spring, the course will now be given every semester, and 14 students have signed up for this next fall. They can expect to spend 12 hours in class per week plus additional time out of class on the term project.
Faculty members rotate in and out of the class, but four are always assigned every semester.
