Aaron
Lazanoff is the new Beef Operations Manager in the Animal Science
Department. In this position, he is responsible for managing and
supervising Cal Poly’s beef cattle and rangeland for the Animal
Science Department. His duties also include maintaining production
and financial records for Cal Poly’s cow herd, working closely with
government agencies such as; the Regional Water Quality Control
Board and the Natural Resource Conservation District, and
supervision of a number of students who are involved in beef
enterprise projects. “Aaron has a unique background and a keen
interest in utilizing cattle to manage our rangeland resources. His
extensive experience in cattle and rangeland management are critical
to our continued success,” said Andrew Thulin, Animal Science
Department Head.
Lazanoff has much experience
managing large cattle ranches, which has prepared him for his new
position at Cal Poly. Most recently, he managed the historic Santa
Margarita Ranch in San Luis Obispo, where he oversaw all aspects of
a 700 head cow-calf operation. He is very active in the San Luis
Obispo County Cattlemen’s Association, where he currently serves as
vice president. Last year, this former Cal Poly graduate was
honored with the 2007 Native Tree Stewardship Award in San Luis
Obispo County for his efforts in preservation and enhancement of oak
woodland habitat.
