Midwest Regional Dairy Challenge
Tuesday, July 12, 2016
Oklahoma State University Department of Animal Science students Zach Hollingsworth, Tyler Chupp, Jenica Reagan, Taylor Leach, and Kristen Meyer competed in the Midwest Regional Dairy Challenge on Feb. 17-19th, 2016 in Platteville, WI. The Dairy Challenge is a competition where students are placed on teams with students from other colleges/universities and tasked with completing a whole farm business evaluation of a dairy farm (financials, nutrition, management, etc.), and then presenting their results to a panel of judges and the farm owner/operators. This year 17 colleges and universities competed in the Midwest Regional with two farms being evaluated (there were 8 teams competing on each dairy). All of our students did an excellent job and represented the Department well. Our own Jenica Reagan was on one of the two winning teams! Congratulations!
