Lesson Delivery
Anticipatory Set
- This is the Ferguson Family Dairy Visitor Center, and it opened in October of 2020,
not too long ago. However, Oklahoma State has been involved with dairying since at
least 1902- can anyone tell me how long that is?
- Does anyone have any ideas what might have changed here at the dairy in the past 100 years? (technology, buildings, the cows, etc.)
- Well, today we are going to learn more about what has happened and changed with the Oklahoma State dairy in those 100+ years to bring us to where we are today.
