Mission statement: Our mission is to recognize, honor and memorialize working animals throughout the Commonwealth.

Students are pleased with their new campus dwellers because of the time it saves them, which helps them in all their educational pursuits at the veterinary college.

“The ability to come from class in the morning, to jump out here real quick, to go to class in the afternoon without 40 minutes of driving is a big advantage,” said Smith.

“It’s nice to be near the school because all of our supplies are here,” said third-year student McKenzie Kyger of Ocean City, Maryland. “So if we need another clinician, they’re right there. If we need more ultrasounds or palpation sleeves or anything like that, it’s close by.”

Faculty feel similarly about the campus cattle. “For us it’s a huge time saver,” said Dr. Jamie Stewart, assistant professor in Large Animal Clinical Sciences. “Now we can come down from our offices, put our stuff on, and get over here without having to rush. It gives us a little bit of extra time to do the other things we need to do.”

Stewart sees a greater intangible value to having the cows at the backdoor and not having students and instructors scattered on the roads driving to the dairy barn: “It brings a little bit of more community, because I feel the students are more connected to us when we’re all right here.”
