Dean, Youens, & Rosser
About Dean, Youens, & Rosser
Dean, Youens & Rosser is a forestry consulting firm whose site states it has served the Northeast Texas area since 1984 and that its clients include many local and absentee landowners; its staff page says its foresters have experience across Northeast Texas, North Louisiana and South Arkansas, the Ark-La-Tex area, as procurement foresters and timberland managers. The services listed are timber management, timber marketing and appraisals. Management work covers timber management plans based on the owner's goals and an assessment of each tract, appraisals and timber stand analysis used for estate planning, establishing a timber basis or evaluating a purchase, coordination of seedling purchases, planting and site preparation, and herbicide application for seedling release, mid-rotation brush control or chemical site preparation, using contractors listed with the Texas Forest Service as certified vendors. The firm states its primary work is preparing and marketing timber for landowners generally through sealed bid sales to a list of buyers ranging from large companies such as International Paper and Weyerhaeuser to local contractors. It says the majority of its sales are selective thinnings, that volume is estimated by tallying each tree by diameter or by cruising the sale area, and that a minimum bid is established before timber is offered so the landowner does not sell below market value. It also prepares a mutually agreeable sales contract, advises on sale timing against market fluctuations, and supervises harvesting, acting on the owner's behalf and reporting back when the owner cannot be present. Contacts given are Buddy Rosser, Texas Accredited Forester #81, and Alan Youens, Texas Accredited Forester #83; founder R. J. (Jack) Dean became a timber consultant in 1984 and retired in 2015.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
