Livestock Merchandising
Livestock Merchandising
Every year, the Wolfpack Round Up is the final exam for students enrolled in the Livestock Merchandising class, ANS 240. Over the course of the semester students hear from livestock producers, professional auctioneers, marketing professionals, and other professionals working in the livestock industry. The students learn how to prepare livestock and promote a sale in the months leading up to the auction. The culmination of their learning is the Wolfpack Round Up sale which is entirely student run.
The students are responsible for creating advertisements, collecting information for the catalog, and working directly with prospective buyers. Under the supervision of the Animal Education Unit Managers, many of the students who take part in the course can gain practical experience working with livestock. At the end of the semester, students have the tools they need to engage with producers and market a product.
