This is the first in a series of blog posts to highlight individuals within the UC Cooperative Extension (CE) working to bring science-based solutions to challenges facing rangeland stakeholders.
Last week, we held our 1st Rustici Rangeland Tour in the beautiful Warner Mountains in Alturas, Calif. The tour continued the conversation from our 3rd Rustici Rangeland Science Symposium, providing additional opportunities for networking as well as field-based learning.

UC Davis’s Dr. Jeffery Stott has reached a new milestone is his work to address a major economic loss for California cattle producers—foothill abortion, a tick-borne bacterial disease that is estimated to cause the death of 45,000 to 90,000 calves each year. The first year of field trials is wrapping up, in which Stott’s team successfully vaccinated nearly 10,000 animals in California, Oregon, and Nevada against this deadly disease.
