2026-2027 Herdsmen
The Paul Engler College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences is pleased to present the 2026-2027 Herdsmen. The Herdsmen Team members were thoughtfully selected through a nomination form process, submitted by a WTAMU faculty or staff member, in addition to an extensive written application submitted by the nominee, and a formal interview. The Herdsmen men and women represent the true spirit of a WTAMU Buffalo and our College is proud that these students will oversee the care of our Buffaloes, Thunder XV & XVI.
