Students will be involved in the planning, preparation, and coaching of the Bay State Livestock Classic. This is an annual department event open to the public. Students will chair planning committees or coach species groups.

The grooming and showing of cattle, sheep and goats are taught through hands-on experience and presentation of the animals in a show organized by the students each spring. The show is open to the public and is held at the Hadley Farm. Previous experience preferred.

This is an experiential learning course that involves the daily care and management of pre-and post-weaned dairy calves on a privately owned dairy. All students are expected to attend the Thursday afternoon weekly management meeting and to complete a two-week calf feeding block. This course requires close-quarter work with dairy calves. Under the best of circumstances there is a significant risk of contracting zoonotic diseases. To mitigate this risk students will receive training in zoonotic diseases and will be expected to purchase coveralls and water-proof boots.

The purpose of this course is to build upon the knowledge of cattle reproductive anatomy and physiology learned during your introductory animal science courses, and to prepare you for the AI Certification through intensive hands-on experience in the performance of frozen semen handling and AI.
