  Beef and Livestock Studies, A.A.S.
  

The changing profile of the New York animal livestock industry toward increased grassland farming and the enlargement of marketing facilities in the Northeast have greatly influenced livestock production. Students are trained in practical, hands-on situations using the College cow/calf, stocker and feeder programs as well as the College sheep and goat flock. Applied knowledge in livestock production related to selection, care and management, nutrition, breeding, health and opportunities in the industry are emphasized.

Modern technology has created a demand for trained specialists in this branch of livestock management and the agribusiness field. Responding to the demands of the job market, the College offers a concentration in Beef and Livestock Studies.
