Working Ranch Maganzine

There is many websites available that contain information on topics affecting the livestock community. For this weeks blog, I choose to look at the Working Ranch Magazines website. As you probably guessed from the title of this website, Working Ranch is also magazine that you can subscribe to.

I really like Working Ranch because it does such a nice job presenting news that helps to keep farmers and ranchers
informed. It covers controversial issues, yet also talks about happenings around the country. I also like their journal entries that people submit. These journals are ten day journals that tell about real events that happen on the their farm/ranches.

As a website, Working Ranch is easy to see and uses colors appropriately to highlight topics and catch the readers attention. The editors of the magazine also use hyperlinks appropriately and don't have an overabundance of them.

The editors of the magazine and website also write the articles so that livestock producers understand the topic. Yet at the same time it is really easy for people who know little about the livestock industry to understand. What I don't like is how you can read the magazine on the website. Instead of just putting all the articles in list for for you to click on and read, they have the magazine in PDF form. This is harder to read on a computer.

Overall I like this website a lot as it is a good resource for the public. In addition it is easy to read and really catches the readers attention.
