Bugas rejoins WYLR team

This week, the team at Wyoming Livestock Roundup welcomed back Hannah Bugas as managing editor. 

Bugas grew up on her family’s cattle ranch in Fort Bridger where she fell head-over-heels in love with agriculture and the cowboy way of life. After graduating from high school, Bugas attended college at the University of Wyoming and graduated in 2019 with degrees in agricultural communications, animal science and graphic design. 

Following college graduation, Bugas worked as the assistant editor at the Wyoming Livestock Roundup and eventually moved her way up into the managing editor position. Bugas worked at the Roundup for nearly two years before moving back home to help on the ranch. 

In addition to agriculture and journalism, Bugas is very passionate about art and can usually be found behind a canvas covered in acrylic paint or making crafts from ideas found on Pinterest. She is also a loving dog-mom to her Sheepadoodle Nash. 

Although the ranch life has treated her well for the past few years, Bugas is excited to rejoin the Roundup team.

“Not to sound too cliché, but my time at the Roundup a few years ago was life-changing. The Wyoming ag industry holds a very special place in my heart, and nothing compares to the lessons I learned and the experiences I had while working at the Roundup. I am really excited to be back, to reconnect with old friends and to make new ones. I can’t wait to continue advocating for and learning about the industry I am most passionate about,” Bugas says. 

Roundup Publisher Dennis Sun comments, “We’re all excited to have Hannah rejoin the Roundup team, and we look forward to working with her again. She is a great person and knows the ag issues of our region.”
