Conclusion

I am so sad this semester is coming to and end. This class has been, by far, my favorite class I've taken at Auburn. Everything we did was new and interesting and I loved ever minute of it.

I think that is why I chose this major, because I am not familiar with anything Agricultural, so everything I learn and encounter is brand-new and exciting.

By taking this class I have learned not only a great deal about the handling and management of livestock, but I have also learned a great deal about myself and my abilities. I have made many new friends, and connections with faculty I may not have had otherwise.

This class is one of those experiences that I will probably talk about for years to come, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in animals or agriculture, but haven't had the chance to have hands on experience.

I hope this class becomes a permanent fixture in the department of Animal Sciences, because it has truly made an impact on my freshman year here at Auburn, and I feel like it would also have the same effect on students to come.

Not everyone has had the opportunity to interact with livestock before coming to college, but as a major industry in America, I feel it is almost necessary for our universities to provide some basic hands-on knowledge of livestock to students.

This course has opened up so many doors for me, and I am so glad I had to opportunity to participate in this pilot program!
