When it’s sunny and 65 degrees in ag class, we get outside for a fun, hands-on lab activity. The animal science students have been learning about the anatomy and functions of the male and female reproductive tracts of livestock. Today, they had the opportunity to put their knowledge to use for a hog, sheep, and cow reproductive tract. Aren’t the babies cute?!
