“Sale week has been a great opportunity to learn more about handling cattle, but also learning about a different side of the industry. Before coming to Cornell, I had minimal experience in the dairy industry. Through participating in sale week, I was able to learn basic skills in handling and care for cattle, which has been greatly useful in my time here at Cornell. It has also been a great way to gain experience when it comes to communicating and explaining the industry to the general public.”
