Bippity Boppity Boo, pigeons be gone with some bird spikes and plywood.

Did you know pigeons are a common pest bird on dairy farms? They eat the grains out if their food, drop stool all over, and can spread disease!

Work hard, play hard! The dairy team loves hosting events, going to events, giving tours, and even going on other farms tours. It's great to see the students, industry, and public so interested and open to learning about dairy.

OSU Dairy has been very busy the past few months starting up 3 new projects on the dairy! #1 to announce is growing our own corn for silage! We're excited to see 50 acres of corn popping up! We have also been busy with grazing, fencing, field work, and grass silage harvest! There's a lot of work that goes into Cow Chow. Stay tuned next month for the other two project announcements as well as some fun events we've been a part of.

Spotlight on a great class with awesome students! We're over halfway through the term and ANS 440 (Applied Dairy Management) students have already learned body condition scoring, manure scoring, locomotion scoring, proper animal handling, welfare, haltering, slipknots, safety, parlor management, milking, drawing blood, giving IVs, giving boluses, reproductive management, drenching, calf care and health, treatments, etc, etc! They are on their way to becoming great herdsman/ herdswoman or vets! Thanks to a great instructor (Kathryn Younger), industry help (Bradley Springs), extension staff (Jennifer Cruikshank), veterinarians (Dr. Klopfenstein), and the best OSU Dairy Cows for helping so far!
