Welcome to the NCTEC side of the house! We have two new residents!! Meet Bob and Larry, litter brothers and just 8 weeks old. (Bob is the B&W)
Needless to say, they have had a VERY warm reception and will fit in just fine.

I am always amazed by the interior of the eye. The natural and amazing beauty of something from the inside of a sheep. Nothing like an end of the year dissection wrap-up and a few shenanigans.

I’m terrible getting things posted. Today Barb Kurzowski came in to talk culling, standards, and production with our bunnies. Seniors had a refresher and juniors had great production and income earning lessons.

Shout out to the seniors that assisted the juniors in learning to care for our classroom animals! During the students junior year they are responsible for all the basic care of our animals including cage cleaning and enrichment activities
