Lesson Delivery
Anticipatory Set
- Currently we are standing in the Ferguson Family Dairy Visitor Center, which opened
in October of 2020. However, Oklahoma State has long been involved with the dairy
industry: from the first dairy room in The Horse Barn, constructed in 1902 to the
creamery that expanded in 1904, to where we stand today.
- Today we hope to guide you through the history of dairying at Oklahoma State so that you may learn more about what has happened and changed with the Oklahoma State dairy to bring us here today.
