Department Conducts Tour is ' Keeping busy was no problem this year for faculty and students of the Fresno State College Agriculture Department. Swine, sheep and beef were entered in the Calif. State Fair, the Fresno County Fair and the Los Angeles County Fair, where an FSC steer was named grand champion. At the San Francicso Livestock Exhibition, FSC animals took the Grand National Award and a third place award was earned in the national contest for dairy cattle in Waterloo, Iowa. Students took first place in the livestock judging which was held at the Paciiic International Exposition in Portland, Oregon. Another first place award was won in livestock and dairy judging at San Francisco State College. Dehorning a steer seems to be an easy task if you know how, which this FSC co-ed demonstrates.
