Two ranchers to receive high honors this year
Monday, Nov. 13, 2000 | 4:39 a.m.
Usually, just one outstanding rancher is named each year at the Nevada Cattlemen's Association convention, but the awards committee decided both nominees deserved the honor this year.
Both showed excellence in linking profitable ranch practices to enhance public land resources, committee members said.
Romero, who has managed the Sweetwater Ranch for 29 years, was hailed as a leader in establishing and maintaining positive relationships between ranchers, environmentalists and others. He has taken steps to prevent soil erosion and protect water quality.
Neal, who has managed the Moorman Ranch for 10 years, was praised for taking action against noxious weeds and taking steps to minimize impacts from grazing. He also works to manage rangelands to support wildlife.
The awards are presented jointly by the cattlemen's association, Nevada Farm Bureau, Nevada Division of Agriculture and Bureau of Land Management.
