Jack Cowley, an eye doctor-turned-cattle rancher, forged a 40-year research partnership with the University of California to advance livestock management. Rancher Continued from Page 15 “The type of research we were doing there has eventually evolved to now we have these genomic tests that you can use that geneti- cally predict the performance of animals,” Van Eenennaam said. “Nowadays, people just take an ear tag and send it in and get their genetic prediction.” Van Eenennaam credits Cowley for allowing research on his large herd. She added, “Genetic improvement, of course, is a huge compo- nent of sustainability because the more efficient cattle are, the less feed they consume and the less time they take to finish, which ultimately lessens their environmental footprint.” Cowley ultimately decided to become a cattle rancher inspired by a Saturday afternoon drive after Silver the horse joined the family. Cowley and his oldest daughter, Kathryn, were traveling through Placerville and saw a ranch for sale. He bought the 90 acres. “Of course, I had to have a few cows to play with,” he said. “Basically, I thought I could make some money off of 50 cows.” As his herd grew, he moved it to Corning, 50 miles south of Redding, and finally to the site in Montague that could accommodate several hundred head of cattle. “That’s when I really became interested in animal genetics,” Cowley said. “That was back when we had slide rules to do our calculations. It was pretty crude, but it was a start.” In 1990, Cowley was honored as the California Beef Cattle Improvement Association’s Seedstock Producer of the Year and, in 2007, was named Siskiyou County’s Cattleman of the Year. He has served as president of the Siskiyou County Cattlemen’s Association, on the Cattlemen’s Beef Board and on committees for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. “Jack spent countless hours traveling to the Midwest and other beef research institutions to share knowledge, learn more and plan for needed information,” Drake said. “This made for better Extension work, better research and recognition of UC Cooperative Extension work nationwide.” In 2011, when Van Eenennaam and Drake presented their research at an international genomics conference, Cowley joined them in Australia to learn from other researchers. They also visited Australian producers to learn their practices. “We really rely on cooperators like Jack,” Van Eenennaam said. She said the long-running collaboration has helped “to enable our research to have translation to farmers and ranchers.” (This story is adapted from an article published by the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.)
