Our Livestock and Dairy Management teachers returned from a trip to the Northeast Dairy Innovation Summit Wednesday night! They had the opportunity to network and meet people from all walks of life and different backgrounds, making connections that they'd love to carry over to the school in some form. Through this experience they learned a lot about different industry trends and possible career opportunities for our students.
Words from our staff: "I wanted to thank Bristol Aggie for the opportunity to attend the conference. I’m so glad we were able to meet some of the individuals involved with such a fantastic organization and who provided our school with the funding to innovate. I am so grateful to be a part of a school that wishes to provide staff with opportunities to further our own education, keeping us inspired and helping us make connections with others in our industries. I’m feeling excited and motivated to bring this new knowledge back to my classroom!"

The Seniors in Veterinary Science and Laboratory Animal Technology had an exciting day disbudding calves! They went through the step by step process giving them a cdt vaccine to prevent tetanus, clipping the hair, and disbudding the horns. Fun fact: a common misconception about cattle is that only males grow horns, but females grow horns as well! We disbud the cattle here on campus to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and other animals. #BAPride #CultivatingExcellence #Cows #Calves #Livestock
