	Laboratory Farms Mann Valley Farm maintains herds of beef, swine and a flock of sheep which give students the ability to observe management practice skills in practical situations. The heated indoor pavilion on this farm provides the opportunity to conduct many classes, workshops and contests in comfort. Valuable practical experience in animal production may be gained by obtaining a job at one of two university laboratory farms. Students work with dairy, equine, or livestock enterprises supported by work study, student assistant or research funds.
