■Twenty-six ranches and agricul
tural businesses served as non-
Intditional classrooms for 110 Texas
University students. Dr.
■ward Hesby, associate professor
w animal science organized for the
sixth year the seven-day, 1,600-mile
animal production field study trip of
Texas agriculture.
Students drove as far west as
Abilene and San Angelo and as far
south as New Braunfels and Gon
zales. To keep costs down, students
slept on gym floors of local schools.

Livestock production was the
main emphasis of the tour. Goat,
sheep, beef and dairy cattle, fish,
horse, poultry and swine operations
plus feedmill, premix feed and meat

agenda.
Students saw how meat is
slaughtered and processed at Gooch
Blue Ribbon Packing Plant in
Abilene. They watched the assem
bly line process of slaughter, skin
ning, cutting, quality control, cur
ing and boxing of beef and pork.
Kothman’s lamb feedlot in
Menard, the largest lamb feedlot in
Texas, offered a lesson in feeding
20,000 lambs at one time. Animal
health in confinement, drainage and
ration mixing were a big part of the
discussion.
They visited beef cattle operations
at Keerville, Abilene, Freder
icksburg, Eldorado and Gonzales.
The Gonzales area offered an educa
tion in the turkey, broiler and egg
industries.
Mohair production and marketing
were the topics at Cawley s Angora
goat ranch near Eldorado.
Gwen Gates, a junior animal sci
ence major from Ponca City, Okla.,
said the tour was organized and the
variety of stops made the week in
teresting.
“They (the hosts) were all real
open and honest. If they did some
thing wrong in terms of how they
ran their ranch, they told you what
they did wrong. They didn’t hold
back anything.”
