Angelo State University is located in San Angelo, Texas and sits in the number one goat marketing spot in the number one goat producing state in the entire nation. Corey Owens, our interview guest today, grew up on a ranch 70 miles west of San Angelo where they raised 1,100 meat goats. As a goat raiser myself, I could barely get off the topic of Angelo State University being the perfect place for a student who wants to specialize in goat production. Of course, on Angelo State's 6,000 acre research ranch there is much more to study than just goats. In today's interview we will learn all about it.

A very interesting opportunity popped up during this interview, and that was working with exotic animal species from Africa, Asia and the Middle East as a result of an agreement that Sam Houston State University has with a "high fence game ranch" in the area. There are certainly unique opportunities at Sam Houston State, and this is another example of a pathway to the agricultural career that you are seeking.
