Large Animal used the knowledge gained in their cattle & repro units to consult EPDs to determine which heifers they would like to buy for their “farm”. We then had a real auction for them to bid and purchase their cattle using money earned in review! RuCo CTE Riverdale HS

Large Animal Science officially had some of our babies hatch yesterday and today! We are so “egg”cited! Riverdale HS RuCo CTE

This week Small Animal Science competed in our “dogless” dog show! Students researched a breed of dog and created a cardboard model of the “breed standards” for that dog! They presented info about their dog & competed in a dog show between the dog groups just like Westminster!

Man am I proud of these ladies. Top 10 as a freshman is no easy task. Can’t wait to see how this team grows and develops!

So excited and proud for this team of mine!

Today was a fun and busy day in Vet Science! Students have been researching lab procedures and today they taught their classmates about their lab procedure! Then, we completed a simulated urinalysis lab and analyzed our data! RuCo CTE Riverdale HS

These girls are on 🔥🔥 and I am HERE. FOR. IT. Hard work and time spent in the barn is paying off leaps and bounds for these two!

My Small Animal Science classes competed in their dog breed show today! Students had to research and create their dog based off of the AKC Breed Standards for that breed. We crowned best of breeds and a best in show! Riverdale HS RuCo CTE

Small Animal Science students became “CSI- Cat Scene Investigators” today. They were given case files on various unidentified suspects to determine their breed based of information found in their suspect profiles. Riverdale HS RuCo CTE
