Dagan Montgomery joined the Sublette County UW Extension Office in August, 2022 as the Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Educator. He is here to assist with any and all agriculture related questions and challenges in Sublette County and Western Wyoming. 

Dagan just completed an M.S. degree in Animal Sciences, with an emphasis in ruminant nutrition from Oklahoma State University. He has two B.S. degrees in Animal Science and Equine Science and Management from the University of Kentucky.

His work experience throughout college includes graduate research assistant in ruminant nutrition at Oklahoma State, undergraduate researcher in the animal sciences nutrition lab and undergraduate research assistant in the animal science beef unit at the University of Kentucky.

During his college and graduate school career, Dagan has also worked on ranches in Montana and Florida. His family has ranched in West Texas as well as central Kentucky. This experience, along with working in Montana, Florida and Oklahoma, created a desire to always be a part of the ranching and farming communities that are so important to the American identity and industry.

Dagan shared “I witnessed firsthand how important well ran university extension programs are for livestock and crop producers in an ever-evolving industry. As scientific research and development continues to expand, it is critical that there are services in place that can effectively communicate these findings to the people and communities who need the real-world applications. Without properly and effectively communicating these data to solve problems and answer questions posed, agriculture research quickly loses value in the eyes of many producers”.
