On Friday, February 20, students from Anatomy, Animal Science, and AFNR got to have a presentation from Valley Vet Center veterinarian, Dr. Tyler Oberreuter. Students got to experience a calf dissection to see first-hand the internal workings of a calf. It was a great hands-on look about what they have been learning in class! Thank you, Dr. Tyler Oberreuter!
Miss Dausel's Anatomy students have been studying the nervous system and the brain in class, and got to do a sheep brain dissection to test their knowledge!
