Students wishing to reschedule their participation in small group exercises must notify the lead veterinary instructional technician by their designated means no less than 24 hours prior to the activity.  Some activities require substantial setup time, including moving animals from other campus facilities.

Note: Each Lead Instructional Technician is responsible for approval and sign off of any small group exercise substitution (e.g., club activity, previous experience, non-CVM training course) for their section. Please contact them prior to the event and for subsequent sign off. The course director defers any such requests to the Lead Instructional Technician for that exercise.

Animal Science Livestock Center biosecurity policies require that you wear clean protective coveralls and clean washable over boots or rubber boots for entry to the bovine laboratory sessions.

Directions to non-CVM Locations:

The Bovine sessions will be in the Cattle Feeding Lab on Grimes Way. It is a low white building with corrals and pens located on the north side of Grimes Way just past the WSU Feed Mill, which is about mid-way between the green houses and the Grizzly Bear Faciltiy (which is at the T-intersection of Grimes Way with Airport Road).
