  • The Last of the Cowboy Scholars with Dr. Derek Bailey
    2024/11/20

    On this episode of the Maine Farmcast, I'm pleased to have back Dr. Derek Bailey, Professor Emeritus at New Mexico State University and current Director of Research and Outreach at Deep Well Ranch in Prescott, Arizona. Dr. Bailey served as my Post Doctoral Fellowship Advisor, and has been a long term mentor for me and countless others. He has lead an exciting life growing up on a ranch in the Western United States, conducting research all over the world, flying bush planes, and scuba diving amongst countless other adventures. He recently received the Society for Range Management Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as, being a prestigious Fullbright Scholar where he studied monitoring livestock behavior near water as a potential indicator of disease, welfare, and grazing distribution on rangelands in both the USA and Australia. I invited Dr. Bailey to Maine to help with a low-stress handling and stockmanship workshop at the Bangor State Fair. While in Maine, we visited numerous farms, the Moosehead Lake Region, and Acadia. In this episode we discuss some of his research into genetics and behavior.
