| Section Society for Range Management; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Each year, the Texas Section recognizes one ranch | ||

| the owner of the ranch, and Hal Herbelin Jr. serves as ranch | ||
| operator; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Ohlrich and Mr. Herbelin were recognized for | ||

| methods to improve forage quality for both livestock and | ||
| wildlife; their practices have helped plant life thrive even | ||
| during the current drought; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Texas is known for its agricultural resources and | ||
