LINCOLN, Neb. — Those interested in cattle and natural resource management are encouraged to attend the 19th annual open house at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory Aug. 22 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. MDT. 2018 marks the 40th year since the University of Nebraska–Lincoln began conducting research and extension programming at the facility located near Whitman.
