About Us

This site and training modules were developed to support Animal Science 360: Horse, Dairy and Meat Animal Evaluation and Animal Science 461: Advanced Livestock, Dairy and Horse Judging. These modules will also be used to introduce livestock evaluation to Animal Science 160: Introduction to Animal Science, which is taught in both fall and spring semesters. Additionally, two modules will be used for Food Science and Technology 269: Meat Evaluation and Grading. The previously mentioned classes are core components of various curriculums, thus are populated by students from the Departments of Animal Science, Food Science and Technology, Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Extension and Education. Furthermore, livestock training modules would have wide appeal to Extension agents and agricultural education teachers training youth across the state.

And was made possible through a 2004 Teaching With Technology Grant from the University of Tennessee Innovative Technology Center.

Development Team: Aaron Fisher, Dwight Loveday and Emily L. Tipton (Production assisted by Devin Gilliam and Adam Hopkins.)
