Feedlot's Gary Darnall ' Distinguished'

In Nebraska and Wyoming, alumnus Gary Darnall and his family’s historic Darnall Feedlot are nothing short of legendary. Located near Harrisburg, Neb., the property was homesteaded by the Darnalls in 1889. Gary Darnall used his University of Wyoming bachelor’s (’60) and master’s (’62) degrees in agricultural economics to take the ranch and feedlot to the next level of innovation. The ranch participated in trials, tests and studies – including natural resource sustainability and water conservation – and became one of the first feeders to adopt integrated pest management and no-till farming.
