National Intercollegiate Meat Animal Evaluation Contest

April 3, 2013 by uwagambassadors

Yet another spring break has come and gone! I know that several of my last blogs have talked about trips I have taken, but I am going to talk about one more. I spent the last half of my spring break and the first part of this week in Texas for the National Intercollegiate Meat Animal Evaluation Contest. This contest basically combines meat judging and livestock judging into a huge two day contest. We evaluated breeding stock, young animals, market ready animals, and carcasses over the two days. Not only was this a fun contest, but lots of meat industry leaders such as Tyson and Cargill come to this contest to talk to students about internships and potential jobs.

Vet Student Experiences and Research

March 15, 2013 by uwagambassadors

My University of Wyoming College of Agriculture experience has been unforgettable and varied. I completed a bachelors degree in animal and veterinary science with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine in four years. During my undergraduate experience I competed on the Nordic ski team, meats and livestock judged, represented the College of Agriculture as an ASUW senator and conducted my own undergraduate research project. I had great professors and advisers in the College that helped me choose classes, offered advise on internships and ideas for my future. The faculty and staff are always willing and available to talk one-on-one and are invested in your success.

Life as an Extension Intern with an Interior Design Minor!

March 11, 2013 by uwagambassadors

Hi there! My name is Alex Krug and I’m a junior here at UW. I am originally from Chicago, IL. and am pursuing a degree in Agricultural Communications with a minor in Interior Design.

This semester, I have been given the opportunity to intern with the UW Extension office. UW Extension was established in 1914, and their goal is to help Wyoming citizens and communities respond to challenges and changes. UW Extension has offices in all 23 counties in the state and the Wind River Indian Reservation. Primarily, I have been doing graphics and layout for their multiple publications. It’s been a really great experience being able to get real “hands-on” work experience, but still have the support and guidance of the UW and Ag communities.
