This course provides exposure to the beef cattle production cycle and hands-on experience in all aspects of herd management. An emphasis is placed on understanding normal cattle behavior and practicing "sound stockmanship."

Open to BS-ANIMLSCI, BS-PREVET, and BS-VET-TECH students. Work with cattle poses health risks, including development of allergic reactions, physical injury, and exposure to zoonotic diseases. To mitigate these risks, compliance with University and Farm Biosecurity Protocols is required as well as appropriate attire (including gloves, coveralls, and washable rubber boots or steel-toe boots).

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
